LOL DOE YOU'RE INSANE!!! HAH!!! .... JUST KIDDING!!! You're so funny, always.

I have never really done anything extensive with mirrors. I actually have a real issue looking myself in the eye ... I don't know it's like I see everything in my own soul or subconscious and I'm just not meant to. So I keep mirrors out of my meditations.

But that's AWESOME that it does you some good!  (and I always love hearing you talk about D ... so sweet!   )

But I'm keeping it short tonight ... I'm in severe wisdom-tooth-related pain.
GOODNIGHT!  

Hi Doe
Welcome to the Wack job club.
I use any reflective surface i can find including a black onux ring that belonged to my dad.
My favourite is the crystal ball i got from Franklin mint and strangely enough the dark screen from the tv is another one for me.
Some times when i really on fire i can use the reflections from a persons right eye. Now thats wierd hey.
Tourbi is right on the nail as always.
Keep going you are doing great.
Cheers Pete

Hi, FireRose and Pete,

Yup--crazy as a hoot-owl,  but happy as a clam (maybe the latter should be another totem for me!).

So wisdom hurts, huh, FireRose?  I try to keep away from that stuff...Feel better!

Pete, I'll have to try other reflective surfaces, just to see what happens.  Sometimes it seems as if EVERYTHING is a "reflective surface"--the walls, the sky, the just-plain-darkness (actually, there's no such thing as just-plain-darkness, or a just-plain-sky, for me anymore--I have trouble remembering what they used to look like...I just know that they weren't nearly as interesting before!   ).

Thanks guys,

Doe

Hello

Just new to the forum here. Have you thought about drawing the eyes that you see or expressing them in some other in order to gain insight? I have found on the rare occassions that I see different symbols it is best for me to express them through painting but it's just an idea. It helps me focus on why rather than who/what/etc.

Hi, Racheous,

Welcome! And thanks for responding.

Well, I have just about zero artistic talent (FireRose is the artist around here!   ), unfortunately.  But, using "Paint" on my computer, I have drawn/"painted" some of the things I've seen, including my image (or lack thereof, at times!) in the mirror as it looks in the dark, with the necklace, etc.  I was able to post two of the pictures somewhere around here on the "Symbols" forum some time ago.

But you're right--I had an impulse almost immediately to try to draw them so that I could look at them and try to understand.  I think I had the feeling that, with time, they might make more sense, so that I should just "capture" them for when that time came (I guess I also wasn't so sure at first if it would all last, and actually some of the symbols have either changed somewhat).  I'm wondering if attempting to draw or paint them freehand, rather than on the computer, might somehow make it more clear by slowing me down to really look at them as I draw.

Hey--I'm on vacation now!  Lots of time to try to do just that...maybe I will.  

Thanks again.  I'm looking forward to seeing more of your posts!
