Welcome to my brain. It’s messy. It’s interesting. And it’s all connected if you stick around long enough. "Believe Nothing: no matter who said, even if I have said it, except it agree with your own reason and common sense. Siddhartha Guatamo, the Buddha.

Retroreflective and intuition

There are people in this world that will tell you, ‘Dio always has the right words to say’.    Don’t ask me, I just listen and when something comes to the forebrain, I speak.   Its not a thought process, its more visceral than that.   

Getting an email from Lady Starlight ( I reserve the right to call her that and for good reasons) opened up my ‘mirror’.

Maybe thats the key.  I LISTEN,,,  I don’t listen only to hear where I can make a point or some snappy comeback (though I am also known for a razor sharp retort when its called for).    I’m listening to the soul, if you will.   People will show you that, and usually without realizing it.   Ya just gotta listen.

Three forms of wealth in this world.   The Sword,  The Jewel.  The Mirror.   Mine is that mirror.  I am always looking in it (even when there isn’t an actual mirror around): trying to see where, what, how, things could be better.  In me, In those around me, the world,,,,

And sometimes thats a problem: that whole INTJ thing,,, We ‘architects’ see solutions, usually not obvious ones, and thats when the J part gets a bit overwhelming.  Judgemental is what that J stands for.   We can be swayed against our personal judgements, but believe me, It takes incredible amounts of factual evidence to do so.   Our intuition is strong, but the judgemental side is the anchor.   Knowing that, I seek the mirror to expose where my J has locked in and might be wrong.

The roads don’t fold in those directions, but sometimes, kindred souls need to be re-acquainted,,, I think that is where things are with Lady Starlight and myself.   Long years have passed but there are still threads of connection there.    Maybe its time to climb down from my hill and get back into the human race, and an old friend and lover may have just sent me that invite back into the world of the living.   Maybe those old memories are the kick in the pants I need to “wake up” again.   My judgemental side has had me convinced that “this hill” is where my path lay: now, I am not so sure.

Still early in the reconnection, and I don’t expect, nor wish, to make a return to the old ways, but I DO, MOST DEFINITELY want to give my freind a hug again, and maybe share 40 years of time apart around a campfire.

    You call yourself the Mirror, but I see more than reflection. I see light. The kind that doesn’t just show truth—it stirs it. You inspire, whether you mean to or not. There’s clarity in your words, and fire beneath them. And yes… you’re doing it. You’re crossing that threshold, one choice at a time. This spoke to me more than you know.

    • i’m not a mirror, I use a metaphorical mirror to keep track that I am on The Path. The three wealths are a Japanese philosophy explaining human drives. The mirror, in Japan, is considered the most honorable one, but thats not the point here.
