Seeing others
Is a form of reflection
Liking what we see
Disliking what we see
Reveals aspects of ourselves
It can be difficult
To wrap the mind around this concept
That we are surrounded by reflections
Some will comprehend
Some will disagree
Holding tightly to identity
Not wanting to realize this life
Is filled with illusions
Nothing is what
We have been conditioned to believe
We are vast beings
Everything exists within us
Experiencing life in the form of a body
Gives the immediate illusion
That everything is outside of us
Awareness of our inner true self
Dissolves the illusions
Resting in that awareness
Devoid of illusions
Is possible
If we quiet the mind
