In order to understand why [[The Two Mirrors|"mirror worlds"]] are required, one must first understand the function of a mirror. A mirror absorbs /some/ light, not all of it - and then redirects its remainder to another direction. When lit from an angle, it does not direct the light directly backwards - but to its opposite side. Each reflection, each iteration through a mirror further absorbs a portion of the light it reflects - but thanks to this, the light can reach further and further - even to places where it is not supposed to go. Light, in its essence, is [[Consciousness As A Mirror|consciousness]]. It is why, symbolically, it has been attached to ascension and enlightenment since ancient times. Light holds within it the means of conscious thought and awareness. As great Prometheus steals the light of [[Consciousness As A Mirror|consciousness]] (the divine fire, or spark) and grants it to those unaware - the sons of Adam are made conscious. When a spiritual vessel (our body as the house of the soul, the [[Man And Woman|Tree of Life]]) hosts this awareness, our inferior consciousness can only hold and retain a certain amount at a time. The more enlightened the body, the more primed it is to hold more. But just as you cannot directly stare into the sun, you cannot directly fathom or envision the true Source of the light of your own consciousness. It would burn and purify our denser bodies, yet we need to exist in our bodies to function in our realm, don't we? To go through and learn our lessons, for the little time that was given to us, at least. Why? because the survival and upholding of your identity as an individual, quite literally, depends on it. In order to become All, first you must master becoming One. You can, therefore, only hope to fathom or view the Source through its reflections, cast from one mirror to another, then to another, and another, and another. This is why interdimensional separation is necessary. These dimensions serve as dampeners or filtration systems that serve to thin out this divine shining to manageable amounts. This energy of creation, through the Portal of our Sun (and many other Suns) makes its way into our realm, bringing forth life and sustaining it. The moon, serving as an additional reflector of this divine light, dampens its influence further - allowing us to experience even further detachment from the primary Source. Thusly, we only see reflections of perfection, of God, and of creation itself. The reflection of a reflection of a reflection. But it is the only thing we are comfortably able to see, because it is the exact amount of light our infantile [[Consciousness As A Mirror|consciousnesses]] can hold [[Upgrading Your Consciousness|at this time]]. ![[Pasted image 20260418194238.png]] In the game of life - the final boss fight is a mirror.
