Intro: I shared this message for the creator of this image => Thank you Roy for sharing this highly creative, unconventional, and FUN artwork of what appears to be a sloth having a BLAST ^_^.
This reminded me of Divine Dichotomy—where “it is possible for two apparently contradictory truths to exist simultaneously in the same space” (quote by NDW)—and perfectly matches a post I created just now, that includes this “out of the box,” expanded perspective thinking. Here’s the link in case anyone would like to check it out:

^^^End of Intro^^^
Our logical mind within the duality/polarity of separation consciousness, often thinks of Life as one OR the other—i.e., right or wrong, good or bad, light or dark, up or down, etc., and even in a linear way like past to present to future.
However, I’ve been learning that from an expanded, Multidimensional perspective, all earthly labels can be relative (i.e., whatever’s right for one may not be for another), and past/present/future are simultaneously happening all at once in the moments of NOW where space and time are irrelevant.
In addition, there also exists the similar Divine Dichotomy, where “it is possible for two apparently contradictory truths to exist simultaneously in the same space” (quote by NDW).
An example (to include this post) would be that whatever one is currently experiencing is highly beneficial, even if it can easily be perceived as non-beneficial to the physical, human mind.
By the way, this post adds additional perspectives to a related, recent post, “Teaching Within Earthly & Otherworldly Dreams, Slowing Down & Going Inward” (and various points of view help us to expand our perspectives/consciousness).
Another example, is that within the broad spectrum of Spirituality, there are many subgroups of spiritual teachers who suggest meditating while sitting in the typical, proper sitting position (which makes sense from at least one perspective).
However COMMA the most amazing experiences I’ve had while meditating have been while lying down, to include: astral traveling many times, seeing flash images of otherworldly, unknown beings/Beings, and seeing a single eye (recorded in post, “A Vision of One Eye in Center of Squares Within Squares Wormhole“), etc..
Once again, from the logical mind, sitting upright is the right, good, effective and most beneficial position for meditation.
But from my personal experience (which is experiential knowledge/wisdom), even lying down is perfect since I’m the most comfortable in this position.
And from an expanded perspective, right or wrong, up or down, right or left, are all relative as well.
This morning, after watching a video—link and my gratitude message further below—I noticed something that immediately grabbed my attention, because I was reminded of the Soul relationship mirrors (hence, reviewed a reading about The 7 Essence Mirrors at the bottom of this post).
Below are two comments I noticed, followed by my replies to both of them:
Lori’s Comment:
I feel like my whole life has been a repetitive cycle of excitement followed by disappointment. Which then leads to periods of depression where I don’t let myself get excited about anything anymore. But then I realize that’s not me… I’m the incurable optimist… the dreamer. So the cycle repeats.
Paulieshnbi’s Comment:
Same. Whenever I’m happy inconvenience pop up and ruin it🤦🏽♂️[aka self-sabotage]
My Replies to Both of Them (I also shared with Paulieshnbi the reply I shared with Lori, just in case it’s helpful to her, though I didn’t include it below since that’s repetitive) :
WOW Lori, thank you for sharing this MIRROR. Immediately after sharing a comment with Chris, I noticed your comment right under mine, and it MIRRORED to me exactly what I needed to SEE in perfect timing.
You answered what I’ve been wondering about lately, why I haven’t felt excited about anything; but this deeply resonates with me.
I’ve also been learning about non-attachment to the outer world—whether positive or negative stuff of Life—that can help us to flow with, experience, enjoy, learn from, and deeply appreciate Life.
This includes various relationships from a state of Unconditional Acceptance, Embrace, and even deep Love, without the expectations of HOW Life in its many forms needs to SHOW UP as, which IS the epitome of Unconditional Love for Life.
Since Life comes with highly beneficial challenges, we can perceive them as obvious blessings or blessings in disguise, that helps us to build a highly beneficial NEW belief that we live in a supportive Universe (which I trust will immensely affect our lives in a very POWERFUL WAY).
Anyhoo, I just shard this message as well with one of the commenters, so perhaps this book (that also talks about such cycles) can help us all:
@Paulieshnbi I can completely relate. I’m currently reading a recommended book titled, “The Big Leap” by Gay Hendricks, who talks about this topic. So if the idea FEELS light/true to your Heart, you may want to check it out (figuratively and literally, since you could probably check it out from a local library for free as well).
The above two comments, and my reply comment, stemmed from the YouTube video, “Leo ‘This is Worth Its Weight In Gold For Your Life Right Now!’ October 17th – 23rd Tarot“:
Thank you so much Chris for sharing another, very helpful video message. My husband was further curious who this Chris person is—that I’ve shared multiple times how AWESOME you are—so I added that you often uplift me, especially with your heartfelt soulful eyes, authenticity (which seems to be rare), honesty (also not common), deep insights (VERY empowering and inspiring), confidence (to include moments of BOLDness🦁🐅, like speaking your inner truths), and a great sense of humor (very witty, a natural ability, one of your fortes).
I usually share LONG@$$ comments 😅, but I will be working on a creative project🕷🕸 today, so I need to prioritize.
Anyhoo, I’m so grateful for your precious and priceless existence, all the wonderful that you are—as Full-Potential, Multidimensional, WHOLE self/Self, and NOT just the good, right, and light aspects—and all the highly beneficial contributions that you share with humanity and beyond. Have a pleasant week Soul brother, and continue SHINING🌟BRIGHT🌅, 🪨⭐😎! 😘💝💓💕

The following is a non-consecutive excerpt of the blog post, “Detachment versus Non-Attachment“:
While these two terms are often mistaken for one another, non-attachment and detachment are in truth completely different concepts. […]
Also, a non-attachment practice allows you to understand that happiness doesn’t come from other people but from within yourself. A practice of non-attachment helps you understand that your happiness is not defined by things outside you. This sets you free from holding on to other people, experiences, and possessions. […]
Detachment involves distancing yourself from experiences, often in an unhealthy way. […]
Non-attachment is essentially is a practice of mindfulness and presence in the existing moment. Detachment, on the other hand, means a complete lack of interest in the world around you.
How Non-Attachment Benefits Our Life
Non-attachment allows you to be present at the moment, at peace and acceptance with your true self. It also improves your relationships, making them strong and filled with non-demanding love and compassion. Finally, a practice of non-attachment allows you to define yourself by your inner nature rather than by the outside world.
The following non-consecutive quotes are from Gregg Braden’s teaching of The Seven Essene Mirrors found within the helpful reading, “7 Essene Mirrors” who shared a relatable intro:
THE SIXTH ESSENE MIRROR: Ominous name: The Dark Night of The Soul:
” When we find ourselves in the greatest challenges of life, it is in these moments that we have amassed each tool that will allow us to move through that challenge with grace and with ease. Until those tools are amassed, we will never see ourselves in the situations that ask us to demonstrate these high levels of mastery.
From this perspective, the greatest challenges of life may be viewed as tremendous opportunities to demonstrate this mastery, rather than tests that may be passed or failed in life.
It is through this mirror that we see ourselves naked. Without the emotions, feelings, thoughts, and constructs around us that we have constructed around us to keep us safe.
We have the opportunity to see ourselves in a completely transparent way and to prove to ourselves that the process of life may be trusted.” […]
THE 7TH ESSENE MIRROR:
This one is the most subtle. It asks us to allow for the possibility that each experience of life, regardless of the outcome, is perfect in its nature. Regardless of whether or not we achieve the lofty goals that have been set by others, we are invited to view our accomplishments in life without comparing them to anything else. Without any external reference. The only way we can view ourselves in failure or success is when we measure our accomplishments to an external yardstick.
These questions then arise in us, What is it that we hold ourselves accountable to? What do we use as our yardstick of accomplishment? From the perspective of this 7th mirror, we are asked to allow for the possibility that all aspects of our lives (each aspect of our personal life: body shape, body weight, academic, business, athletic, spiritual achievements) are perfect as they stand. We can only be judged when they are compared to an external reference.
Allow for perfection in the imperfections of life.
What standards are we holding ourselves which cause us to feel unhappy?
How do I come to determine when I have succeeded or failed at something in life?
The Essene’s remind us that we will go through each of these mirrors through this life. Sometimes multiple times and sometimes multiple mirrors at a time. We are invited to know ourselves in the presence of others through our relationships. As those relationships are reconciled, we become the benefit of that healing. It is that benefit that we carry with us through life as we walk between the worlds of Heaven & Earth.
-Gregg Braden
