Freaky Deaky reality territory in the Hall Of Mirrors.
A mirror showed up earlier today. It has a slightly different design to most modern mirrors which caught my attention. And a lot of questions to the Mirror.
Here’s a video of Yours Truly in the mirror.
The first question that occurred to me was regarding Light and Time. I’ve long pondered about always seeing the past as physics says objects are reflected light and are then interpreted by the brain as objects and even though it looks like now, it is actually the past even though it is a zillionth of a second ago. And implies to me reality is a mirror.
The universe does like to complicate things. I’ve noticed once you’ve got a handle on a concept it has a habit of saying ‘Hold on. There’s more.’ And whilst I was looking at the mirror the next question was how does the mirror itself effect reality. Always open to deeper understanding, I thought I am looking at a mirror reality within a mirror reality and they are both the past.
And from Mirrors within Mirrors to Dreams within Dreams. Also Dark Matter and photographic negatives.
From Wiki :
In photography, a negative is an image, usually on a strip or sheet of transparent plastic film, in which the lightest areas of the photographed subject appear darkest and the darkest areas appear lightest. This reversed order occurs because the extremely light-sensitive chemicals a camera film must use to capture an image quickly enough for ordinary picture-taking are darkened, rather than bleached, by exposure to light and subsequent photographic processing.
American ‘Anon’ used to say I was a black man under my skin. A while back ‘I had a dream’. In the dream I was asked to look at myself in a mirror and what stared back at me was the face of a black man. I view 3D reality as a dream of sorts or simply a dream in itself and so in my sleeping dream I am a black man and in my waking dream I am a white man. And which is the real dream ?
And throw a bit of Anima and Animus and animal, vegetable or mineral into the mirror equation of the Self it gets complicated.
