  1. someone looking into a mirror and smiling maybe?


  2. just one picture of the first things could be the reflection of anything into anything else.  

    for perseverance, maybe climbing mountains.

    or maybe mountains reflecting in water. to mix both ideas.

    i don't know what else, if i knew for what you needed the picture. maybe i could think of something more appropriate.

  3. Socrates said that the unexamined life is not worth living. These are the most quoted classical words outside of the Bible. Socrates like Aristotle and Plato as well as contemporary philosophy however understood that to understand life, absolutes were necessary. They did not have any absolutes so whilst Socrates quotes these words, they are quoted with a sense of necessity and uncertainty.

    What is clear to most people is that they think and then act, but on the basis of science we cannot prove this despite the evidence because science deals only with accidents of evolution or chemicals of the DNA template, all of which are 'impersonal'.. Not a single living thinking thing is involved here.

    Both the Bible and science agree that as a person thinks in their heart, so are they but they differ markedly in their ideas of where thinking comes from. The Bible begins by saying, "In the beginning God created.." The Hebrew word for God used here is Elohim which is in the plural tension implicating the presence of three distinct equal personalities whose mutual reciprocal actions between each other denotes one God. A thinking acting personal God concept cannot work apart from this idea. The Trinity were always in loving communicating relationship and so we finite humans have a universal to explain thinking and acting after the personal God type. In Islam Allah iwas alone with noby to relate to. Personality cannot function because multiple personalities are required. Islam like Buddhism with its 'impersonal' final reality have a serious philosophical and intellectual dilemma.

    If we think along the lines of science or its Eastern expression Buddhism then our personality or moral motions can't be explained. The questions you ask here are related to a personal tension that I believe intellectually and philosophically can only be answered in the Bible. Much of our world experiences a personal tension because we don't like God whom we are like in the sense we think and then act as God does.

    Evolution which is the world religion views people as random chance accidents which means a meaning to life isn't possible. Hence many people suffer intellectual emptiness because science and education pursuade students that personality doesn't exist despite the overwhelming evidence that it does. So how we live really is controlled by our thought systems or the framework we use to reason about ourselves and our world. Christianity with its notion of absolutes means certanty of knowledge is possible because all things would carry true value. Minus absolutes, truth is relative to the individual which fits the science way of thinking.

    As a Christian the Bible tells me that I am made in the image and likeness of God, that is a thinking acting being who makes both good and bad decisions. My apsiration have validity in what I believe because of the intellectual integrity of my position. Adolf Schlatter the Swiss German theologian said that thinking is an act of worship because it involves the truth about what is there to be seen and known. Being made like God and understanding this intellectually means that no matter what happens to me, I am made a thinking acting being and an eternal one at that. Also it is impossible to improve on the image and likeness of God. Intellectually and philosophically this is where I begin in my thought world.

    Smile mate, more people care then you know, but remember your moral motions exist because personality in God exists.

    The picture.

  5. Often, we are so stuck in our old beliefs and patterns that we aren't able to see the changes we need to make. Even when we feel frustrated about our problems, we may not recognize what we need to learn to change things. That is why we need to use the mirror of life.

    Everything in our lives reflects where we are in the process of developing integration and balance. We can use everything that happens externally as a mirror to help us see the areas within us that need healing and development. Whenever we have a problem, especially a recurring or chronic problem, it is always an arrow pointing directly to some aspect of our psyche where we need more awareness.

    If we accept that life is always trying to teach us exactly what we need to learn, we can view everything that happens to us as a gift. Even experiences that are uncomfortable or painful contain within them an important key to our healing, wholeness, and prosperity.

    We may have difficulty understanding what the mirror of life is trying to show us, but if we sincerely ask for the learning and the gift in every experience, it will be revealed to us one way or another.

    One of the clearest reflections we have to work with is the one provided by our relationships. Everyone we attract into our life is a mirror for us in certain ways. All of our relationships -- our families, children, friends, co-workers, neighbors, pets, as well as our romantic partners -- reflect certain parts of us. How we feel with someone is usually an indication of how we feel about the parts of us that they mirror.

    We all attract certain people into our life who have developed qualities opposite to the ones we are most identified with. In other words, they mirror our disowned selves, and we mirror theirs. These are often the most highly emotionally charged relationships. We either love them, hate them, or both! We feel very attracted to them, and/or very uncomfortable, judgmental, annoyed, or frustrated with them. The stronger the feelings, the more important a mirror they are for us. We have drawn them into our reality to show us something about what we need to develop in ourselves. The fact that we have such strong feelings (one way or another) toward them means that they are showing us a part of ourselves we need to acknowledge, accept, and integrate.

    This does not mean we have to be with them or hold onto a harmful or inappropriate relationship. It just means that as long as they are in our lives, or even in our thoughts and feelings, we can use the relationship as a learning experience. It also does not mean we are supposed to become like them. They may carry an energy we need more of, but they may be too far to the opposite extreme, or they may express that energy in a distorted way.

    Still, we can look for the positive essence in the opposite qualities they carry. For example, if you have been taught never to express any anger, you will probably at some point find yourself in relationship with a person who expresses their anger frequently and vehemently. Life is giving you a strong message that it's time for you to learn to acknowledge your own anger. It is not saying you have to become like this person and go around dumping your anger everywhere. Instead, you need to find the appropriate balance, learning how to assert yourself and stand up for yourself.

    If you have strongly developed being energy but have difficulty taking action, you may find that someone important in your life is a compulsive doer who can't relax. Naturally, you don't want to go to that extreme, but this person is your teacher, to show you the energy of action that you need to develop. Of course, you are a teacher for them, as well, but it usually doesn't work very well to try to show the other person what they need to learn from you -- although we all succumb to this temptation. It works much better to concentrate on what we need to learn in the situation. Once we use the mirror to understand what we need, and actually do the work to develop a disowned self, the whole pattern of the relationship will shift.

    If we are strongly identified with power, we will attract vulnerable, needy people. This mirror is reflecting our need to recognize and accept our own vulnerability. If and when we do that, the needy people in our lives will either become more empowered, or will move out of our lives. If we are overly vulnerable and disown power, we will find ourselves in a relationship with someone who uses power one way or another. We will feel overwhelmed, controlled, or victimized by them until we own our power, at which point the relationship will either dissolve or become more equal.
