Thanks for your responses!
Shaunc, that seems right on to me - to see things as they are. I recently had a revelation concerning that. I realized that I DON'T see things exactly as they are. It may be that we must first deeply realize that we don't see things as they are, in order to create the possibility of seeing what really is there. If believe we already see what's there, we won't be open to the healing and correction of our views and perceptions.
Sky, I agree. We must let go of illusions so as to allow truth to reveal itself, as you said, our true self. I think the idea of 'polishing the mirror' through meditation is about releasing illusions.
Catsquotl, I think we do need to complete the journey as you said, to arrive at the goal. For me, as for nearly everyone, completing the stage I'm currently on, and therefore making it to the 'next level', has been my goal. It seems there are many stages or levels on the path. And eventually, the entire path will be completed upon completion of the final stage.
Thanks again for your feedback everyone.
