Love is the ultimate reality, and we won’t know it unless we learn how to see.
The mystics and Zen masters call it wiping the mirror. In a clear mirror, we can see exactly what’s there without distortion.
St. Teresa of Ávila admonished: “For the most part all [our] trials and disturbances come from our not understanding ourselves.”
Love is a mirror, where everything is revealed as it really is, without self-consciousness on the part of the mirror. The mirror is always empty of itself and therefore able to receive the other. It receives and reflects back what is there.
Love purifies and transforms our consciousness by emptying us of ego-induced distortions making us see another person as another self. The mirror is the perfect lover, it liberates for it makes us see and know truth, it sees as God sees.
John 8:32 "And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
