Mirrors
irrors that distort images may serve you- if you do not wish to see the truth. Mirrors that do not distort your image leave you nothing but believing what you see before you.
St. James River by Allison L. Williams Hill
Our reflections can either show you what you see but also may show you what you think you see. Feelings of being one of or THE ugliest person on earth may be reflected in your image. And you may be the only one who sees it. Your thoughts influence, without a doubt. And they can be your downfall.

Mirrors and Vanities
Humans have used nature- water in puddles and streams – to look at their images. The first mirrors, created from polished convex metal plates, were used during the Greco-Roman period and the Middle Ages. Coating the back of glass with metals started in the late 12th century. I wrote an article about the "old" vanity seen in many early twentieth century movies. Vanities can serve a purpose today for more reasons. The beginning of the article was "The Living Altar," a place where empowerment can manifest. Living Altars The Lady's Vanity may be something to look at.

Some History About Mirrors
"The mirror, an object with at least one reflective surface, can be made in a variety of forms. The most familiar is the plane mirror, a flat surface for simple reflection. Other forms include curved, magnifying and two way.
"The use of reflective surfaces has been around since the dawn of time, when people would have used pools of dark, still water to reflect themselves. Various surfaces were then developed, with the use of obsidian, a natural volcanic glass at around 6000 BC, polished stone or polished metal, either copper or bronze at about 2000BC. The development of metal coated glass is thought to have been introduced in modern-day Lebanon around the turn of the first century AD, with gold coated glass or leaded coated blown glass being developed by the Romans.

"During the early renaissance, Europeans developed a superior method of coating glass with an amalgam of tin and mercury and Venice grew as the centre of expertise in this method. Mirrors throughout this period were expensive luxuries and it was only with the development of silvering of glass, credited to a German in the early 19th century, that mass production was possible, making mirrors more affordable.
"There is much written about the superstition surrounding mirrors, with them being considered reflection of the soul or a portal into another world. A common superstition is that someone who breaks a mirror receives seven years bad luck. This was probably borne from the fact that the soul is said to renew itself every seven years."
Madame Jeantaud in the Mirror by Claude Monet, 1875
Mirror Meditation
Technology increased the availability, accuracy, and application, of mirrors. Use the mirror at your vanity. Look directly into your reflection as you affirm. Learn to concentrate your gaze, extending it by several seconds to a minute over several days. Use the exercises in Words to build your sense of self. Place yourself in the alpha state by looking an inch up between your eyes where your third eye is. Blur your vision. I have a video below as an example.
More Information About Mirrors
Nineteenth-century European mirrors possessed stunning clarity. This Venetian glass was made in certain areas: Venice, the island of Murano, Bohemia, and Russia.
The Venice Council of 10 was a police faction that prohibited master glassmakers from leaving the island of Murano. Some who attempted to leave were caught and were discovered dead. Writings regarding this activity were found among the Council's preserved documents. Glassmaking was a protected state secret. The glassmakers maintained the recipes mentally and orally shared them. There were no recordings. Mirror-making was an inherited skill, passed down from father to son. Most of the men died in their forties from breathing mercury vapors.
There was a royal decree in Constantinople from Emperor Constantius II requiring the Imperial Library to transfer information from papyrus to a different paper. The papyri were deteriorating, and the purpose was to preserve the knowledge they contained. The Imperial Library also contained manuscripts from destroyed cities of the East. It stands to reason that Constantinople acquired papyri from the Library of Alexandria in Egypt if it was concerned about losing those in its possession to the ravages of time.
When Constantinople fell in 1453, knowledge in the forms of manuscripts and documents went to Venice, the transit point between the east and the west. These documents contained advanced technological information, advanced for that age.
In the 19th century, all mirrored surfaces in homes were covered with dense fabric. Some said that they saw the souls of the deceased reflected. When they turned around, they were the only presences in the room. When they shared what happened, doctors were summoned and pronounced them mentally ill.
Other people saw spaces in the mirrors as if they were real. In 1881, Thomas Welborn purchased a ancient Venetian mirror of extraordinary artistry from a bankrupt estate. The frame included constellations, miniatures of the planets, and information he could not decipher. He hung another mirror in a room that appears to be his study. The mirror reflected the room with noticeable changes. His desk was the same, but other furniture was different. Mr. Welborn documented what he saw. It happened consistently between 11 PM and 2 AM. It is unclear if his experiences were connected with the mirror with the elaborate frame.
One night, Mr. Welborn saw another man in the mirror, dressed in period attire, unlike his own. The man eventually looked up and saw Mr. Welborn staring at him. They began communicating with drawings and hand gestures. The man in the mirror directed Welborn to various places in the room, where he found documents belonging to the man in the mirror, the house's previous owner. He also found documents of containing information about advanced technology beyond his time. There was a manuscript about mirrors that contained the phrase, “Mirrors are tools...a window between times.” The manuscript included a warning that mirrors should be used with care.
Welborn learned that he and the other man were separated by 300 years.
The Venetian mirrors generated interest in books and manuscripts. The timeline including the loss of the Libraries of Africa, more than the one in Alexandria, and the two wars Constantinople suffered in 1204 and 1453. The libraries were destroyed, books were taken or destroyed. It raise curiosity about the Vatican Library and what it has in its possession. What I include here is still being researched. I will update after more study.(1)
The Mirror Code
The world is a mirror. It reflects only your consciousness. You see the world as you are. Not as it is. You are beholding yourself. All of the people you come across in your life are aspects of yourself. It is showing a reflection of your on consciousness. Every circumstance you experience are inner assumptions made physical, visible. When seeing problems, they exist in you.
Change what is in you. You can't change what is in the mirror. You can change what the mirror is reflecting. As within, so without. The inner state is the cause of the outer world. You cannot ask the world what you deny yourself. You cannot see outside of you hat you feel you do not deserve within you. Begin asking: what is in my world that that is reflecting what is in me? Closed doors are the limitations you have assumed. Are they really there? Or is it your mind that projects them?

What is Psychic Art?
Psychic art involves entering a meditative state and communicating with Spirit. Similar to channeled writing,
A form of psychic art, Entura or "enter the aura" art is automatic and uses color. There is little "thinking" involved. Art itself uses the left brain for technique and psychic art requires none of this knowledge. In fact, the beauty of this is that no prior art experience is necessary.
Entura art, a unique drawing technique was so named and is being taught by Patricia Hayes, founder of Delphi University for Spiritual Studies in McCaysville, Georgia. Ms. Hayes was the personal assistant to Arthur Ford. She is a gifted spiritual channel and has spent the past 40 years teaching people to develop their spiritual abilities.
Entura means "enter the aura". A person accesses the subtle energy plane and the feelings sensed from there take on form and color. Using meditation and writing, the drawing is interpreted for its use of color, shapes, and images that appear.
Entura art can:
Answer questions, and
Assist you in deepening to find answers within yourself.
Entura art is an interesting and exciting way to connect with the multiple levels of our being. The interpretation of the image could provide relevant messages and can be used for meditation. I would be happy to create an image for you based on a question or on your energy reading. Other images are displayed at the In-Vesica Art Gallery hosted by Art Wanted.com.
