It is an accurate, depending on the mirror, reflection of the "person LOOKING".. the reflection lets us see what we 'look like', how we appear to others.. clearly, the reflection is not a separate existence, but is is the reflection of someone 'real'..
Be well.. |

Yes, I dont have an issue with the idea that it is a reflection of someone real. What I have an issue with is the idea of believing that that self-image in the mirror is a real person. Which is kind of what we do when we believe that the map is the territory. |

Too many pages to read through right now so i will offer that i feel our purpose is for God to experience itself in all possible scenerios and aspects. If this thought was already expressed than great i resonate with it  , if not? cool i added something new... either way.. Namaste!

Read the Dalai Lama's autobiography. His thoughts on the purpose of life are really thought-provoking
