Imagine God as a Glitterball, an infinitely large, infinitely multi-faceted Glitterball, each of us having our own facet, our own miniature two way mirror. Whatever we are we project into that mirror, and whatever we project into that mirror we are; it reflects back out and becomes our manifestation in our outer world.

Whatever we wish to see in the mirror we will see (that’s if we even bother to look), and it won’t necessarily be the same as others see - in fact it usually isn’t. This is particularly true since the mirrors always offer a degree of distortion - sometimes very little such that what we see is a fairly accurate representation of what we are, but others belong in the hall of mirrors, making us appear much bigger and grander than we are, or skinnier than we are, or more honest than we are…..

God, however, sits both in and out of the glitterball (as does our superconcious for, of course, we are part of Him). He sees us as we are, and is, in part, the sum of our combined effect and influence (though God is of course much much more than that), hence we are not only creating and recreating ourselves on a moment by moment basis, we are creating God as we go! If that sounds a little far fetched, imagine how we change as our children grow and do new and different things - and in this sense we are Gods children. We evolve to deal with the different situations they put themselves (and us) in - so, in effect, does God. We are God experiencing physical form.

Now since God is God, the almighty, the all that is and ever will be, he is always one step ahead - he knows where we are headed, and he also knows that sometimes we have to learn the hard way (flames are hot and can burn us, knives are sharp and can cut us, etc etc), yet God does not influence what we show to the mirror - He gave us free will and we alone have responsibility for what we do and show to the mirror.

Even though it is a two way mirror, seldom do we see through the mirror to the inner workings - we only see the outer reflections of our own and the mirrors near us. The amount we take in - not the amount available to be taken in - is a measure of our awareness, and the amount we choose not to take in is our ignorance. Note that not knowing everything doesn’t make us ignorant (nobody can be expected to know everything), rather it is not acknowledging that which is in our zone, ie which is available to us, that constitutes ignorance.

If we did see inside the mirrorball, we would see that it is infinitely multi layered, like an onion, and layer after layer of mirrors would lie before us. Perhaps even stranger is the fact that we are not even actually on the surface - the layers stretch out infinitely behind us as well, it’s just that we can only look the one way. This represents our concept of time. Although we are not there, we can look in and see what’s gone before, but the future lies out there too…. just waiting for us to become aware of it! Time is simply a function of our awareness - all time actually exists at one and the same time.

Now weigh in the idea that we are not really physical matter at all, that our very existence is simply a projection of light, an intelligent hologram if you like, of our own making, and you can see that we can actually project wherever and whenever we wish.

Life and death become no more than different projections reflected in different mirrors. Health is part of the programmed projection - and the reflection can show it as better or worse - especially if the mirror is a bit dirty!

And always remember - we control our own projections, this light show is ours. We make it up in the beginning, and we make more of it up as we go along. We start it when and where we please, and finish it likewise.
