Earlier in this chapter, it was mentioned that the correction mirrored the mistake in thinking back on Creation. This mirror concept is relatively important. The mirror is an idea that shows up over and over throughout physical and metaphysical subject matter in different ways. Within the human bubble of temporal reference, the mirror concept has parallels through a myriad of subjects. A partial list is:

• Newton's third law of motion: every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
• Karma: as you do, shall be done to you.
• The region of 1 and -1 (inclusive) on the real number line.
• The relationship of the imaginary number system to the real number system.
• In psychotherapy it appears in the laws of projection.
• The concept of mirrored light in physics.
• The mirroring of the Truth Matrix with the human matrix.
• The physics concepts of fractured symmetry and supersymmetry.

As stated earlier, just as a dream state uses the images out of the conscious mind, a matrix containing untruth (the human matrix) has the properties of the Truth Matrix within it.¹⁰ The untruth matrix cannot leave the Truth Matrix. To be more precise, the untruth matrix is dependent on the Truth Matrix to exist, the same way imaginary numbers cannot exist without real numbers. A reflected image is totally dependent on the mirror and the object in front of the mirror.

Figure 3.4, The Mirror

The Divine dream state, however, includes both the mistake and the correction.¹¹ Eternal and temporal co-exist. This presents part of a metaphysical safety mechanism. The law of God's Love dictates that Creation be/is whole. The apparent un-wholeness is just a state of mind and does not exist in Absolute Reality. Creation can only appear to be hurt in the dream. In Absolute Reality, it cannot be hurt at all, because it's part of God.

I must remind you of the temporal/spatial limits of language to the concepts that are being presented. We can only express or work with them on the image side of the mirror. We are in the realm of perception, and appear to be outside of the mirror that was called forth to correct the mistake. The correction and mirror mechanics are beyond any words (or perceptions) because it springs from a fundamental concept of unity and Love/Truth.

Say that part again about outside the mirror.

One side of the mirror -- the Truth Matrix -- is beyond words and concepts (Figure 3.4). On that side of the mirror, is a fundamental unity. The mirror concept is Love reflecting the mistake back -- it will not fight Creation. Love will not do anything to cause separation. It just reflects the mistake back. Purpose: to get its Creation to correct the mistake in thinking.

Inside us is the I Am of God. However, what we see from this mirror is a reflection of that Truth: the ego or I. One side of the mirror is the Mind of God; the other side is mistaken thinking in Creation's mind. The Truth Matrix has scaled itself down to a human matrix.

The surface of the mirror reflects the mistaken thinking back on Creation. It reflects in two ways: active and passive. It's a passive reaction of Love and totally neutral. The active reaction of Love is to give the image a twist to help promote a change of mind within us. The active reaction for us is to choose Truth instead of untruth. The passive reaction for us is to be still to Love's Presence.

Remember that an infinite Eternal Mind is dreaming it is a finite number of temporal minds. Because there is no limit to the mirror's potential, it incorporates this also. This means that the mirror not only reflects back what we choose on an individual level, it also reflects back the mind of Mankind in order for Man to see and choose as a whole. This includes Jesus' crucifixion, world wars, decimation of the environment, etc.

Choices a group of people has made are reflected back to a group of people. The history of Mankind is shaped so that Man, at any moment of time, is influenced towards a harmonious whole and toward union with God, as an individual and as a group. This will be mentioned again periodically.

Note: the reality of one's human-self -- with the concept of mirror -- is not directly seen. The reality of ones human-self only appears through the reflection. The reflection is not the actuality.

Also, like a physical mirror, the image may be reversed and twisted depending upon the surface quality of the mirror, or what are the qualities of the mind of the observer. In Figure 3.4, the image is rotated 90 degrees to represent that. That rotation is in reference to the right angle rule, which we will be talking about later.

The human matrix can be seen as an upside down, limited parody, of the Truth Matrix. Just as physical form and the laws of physical form can be seen as an upside down parody of heaven. Through the mirror, I Am/God becomes I/ego awareness.

Give me an example of how the physical form is an upside down parody of heaven.

The word parody may not be an accurate term, and yet the physical does follow and mimic the metaphysical. Other terms for the arrangement may be a parallel with a twist, a fractured symmetry, distorted image, etc. The parody stems from our fractured perception rather than from the laws of form itself. The underlying theme in heaven is unity, as is true of us. Even though our perception is fractured, it is possible to see a parallel of heaven's unity within physical form: one physical universe made up of a myriad of "separatenesses". It appears a distorted example of what is the actuality.

One example is the parallel between Love's all inclusiveness and a black hole. Both are all inclusive, one on a metaphysical level, the other on a physical. One is totally constructive (with the Creation matrix), while the other is destructive, a twisted parallel or a reversed mirror image.

The image in a physical mirror is like a parody of you. It's reversed. Your right hand is really your left hand in the mirror. There are certain aspects that become lost in the reflection. A three dimensional universe is portrayed as a two dimensional image. That which has substance and depth has no substance or depth anymore, even though it appears to have depth.

The image of a mountain on a lake is another good example. If the lake is still, the image of the mountain is clear (reversed but clear). If the lake has waves, there are multitudes of small partial distorted images that reach the eye. Each image is a bent part of the mountain, without depth. This is very similar to the heaven/earth relationship. Are you clear on that one?

That's real clear but how does the physical law interact?

There are a number of ways this can be illustrated. One way is to show from God to physical form and the other is to show from God to Man.

Figure 3.5, Manifestation Into Physical Form

Figure 3.5 (A) shows how the concepts of the postulates manifest it to physical form. The figure has the "Three in One, One in Three" concept with the three columns of Figure 2.1.¹² This concept applies to Figure 3.5 also. As manifestation approaches the mirror, what is column three becomes the new column two below it. This means:

• Love determines the nature of Logic, as Logic regenerates Love.
• Logic determines the nature of Truth, as the Truth regenerates Logic.
• Truth determines the nature of the Matrix, as the Matrix regenerates Truth.
• The Matrix determines the nature of Creation, as Creation regenerates the Matrix.

This continues to the mirror. After the mirror, the relationships begin to pick up a fractured appearance. This is due to the digital nature of infinity and eternity.¹³ The untruth presents something finite. This finite (due to the influence of the Creation Matrix) attempts to recreate the infinity, but never quite gets there.

The Mobius strip aspect (representing Creation and re-Creation, Figure 3.5 (B)) illustrates the process of creating larger and larger BTRs until the BTRs can regenerate themselves (the Mobius strip connects back up with itself). With temporal life, the Creation and re-Creation process of the Matrix becomes complete. Temporal life facilitates the extension principle of the Truth Matrix and Creation.¹⁴

Another way manifestation can be looked at is from God to Man. This can be shown (and has been throughout history) in a number of ways. The next geometrical figure comes from mystical Judaism (Kabbalah). The labels in the figures are not the traditional kabalistic labels. They are mine and are applicable to the construct in this book.

"As with man so is the universe, and as with the universe so it is with man,"¹⁵ and vice versa. This is an old metaphysical adage. A very old example of how God and ego mirror one another is the Seal of Solomon (Figure 3.6). This figure shows our human truth matrix is as an upside down parody of the Truth Matrix. I Am/God became I/ego.

The upright triangle of the seal reflects the divine aspect, whereas the upside down triangle reflects the ego condition. Yet, there is a unity of balance between the triangles. The upside down one (Man) is a mirror image of the rightside up one. The circle around them completes and contains the triangles (indicating a closed system in Love). The two intertwined triangles by themselves are known as the Star of David (Hebrew religion). When the circle is placed around it, the symbol becomes the Seal of Solomon (a thaumaturgical magic symbol).

Figure 3.6, The Seal of Solomon

All points are interrelated and are included into the whole.

It is important to note that we can remove one point on the upside down triangle and the other points will disappear. For example: I have the lower triangle vertices labeled 'Perceptions', 'Desires', and 'Choice' (storages) -- a state that separates and discriminates. Remove any one of these vertices and the lower triangle will completely disappear. This triangle is in a dependent state.

The rightside up triangle, which includes Love, Truth, and the Inclusive Mind, are an independent union. Try to remove one vertex and the others will regenerate it, because they are one with God.¹⁶ God is the Source of all.¹⁷ This triangle is in an independent state.

The triangle pointing down (dependent) is a mirror image of the triangle pointing up (independent). However, at the same time, it is distorted as a physical mirror image. Things appear upside down, backward, and distorted like a funhouse mirror. Both triangles in the Seal of Solomon are intertwined and co-exist with each other from the reference of an Eternal now.

You said you could remove any one of those points of the upside down triangle of the Seal and the whole triangle dissipates.

The whole triangle dissipates....

And you can't do the same thing with the other?

No, this rightside up triangle is a unity and independent. The Love, Absolute Truth, and the inclusive Mind and the Truth Matrix are all one thing.

From the postulates, you're talking about?

Yes, from the postulates. The human condition contains both the upside down triangle (an exclusive state of mind) and the rightside up triangle (an inclusive state of Mind). One has to do with the Eternal and Infinite; the other has to do with temporal and finite. One is independent and self-sustaining; the other is dependent and non self-sustaining. Love can stand by itself because it includes everything and is the source of the Creation Matrix. Perceptions or desires cannot stand by themselves because you need something to perceive or want. If you remove any one of these points of the lower triangle, the whole thing disappears.

This is very important, for a number of reasons. One is: many of the exercises we are going to be doing will be looking at how to get out of one of these lower triangle points to get to the Eternal.¹⁸ As the upside down triangle disappears, only the right side up triangle is left. The exercise we will cover in this chapter later addresses a decrease in exclusive perception and increases Truth (Logic) within the temporal matrix.

Please note: if one vertex is completely removed of the lower triangle, temporal form would disappear. This applies to the Universe as well as the individual. On the individual level, this would lead to having to make the Bodhisattva¹⁹ Choice. The individual would have to make a conscious decision to remain in physical form and replace part of the vertex. In mysticism, this stage in individual growth has several different references. In the magic reference, it is known as the adept stage (fourth level initiate).

It is also known as the 'true dark night of the soul'. The reason why, is that the individual can see both heaven and earth, is able to enter both, and yet cannot belong in either while in physical form. This dual perception can lead the individual into being a spiritual Steppenwolf.²⁰

The people around that person tend to see a saint. Fortunately or unfortunately, this stage of development is rarely reached. Most people are not willing to foster the degree of selflessness necessary to reach this stage.
