Day 319 - A Year to Clear - Your Reflection

Lesson 319: Your Reflection

If you would only switch on the light of awareness and observe yourself and everything around you throughout the day, if you would see yourself reflected in the mirror of awareness the way you see your face reflected in a looking glass, that is, accurately, clearly, exactly as it is without the slightest distortion or addition, and if you observed this reflection without any judgment or condemnation, you would experience all sorts of marvelous changes coming about in you. Only you will not be in control of those changes, or be able to plan them in advance, or decide how and when they are to take place. It is this nonjudgmental awareness alone that heals and changes and makes one grow. But in its own way and at its own time.
— Anthony DeMello, The Way to Love

Today we are greeted with this quote and nothing else. It’s powerful to notice that in every action we have in the things we do, a piece of us is in every action. A part of us is in everything we touch and do for ourselves. We just aren’t bringing awareness to it. We have the power to heal in any situation because in every action is a part of us slowly taking it’s time to bring about change. If we take away judgement, it allows the uniqueness of you to flow through every situation.

Do you agree as you read this quote over and over? It’s taking time to settle in for me, but I am grateful for the lesson. What I draw from it is that there is beauty in every situation even if you don’t see it. it’s about taking away your own judgement and letting things go, as well as letting them be.
