The Colors of Perception Through the Looking Glass of the Soul 🎧

As we move through life, we encounter an endless array of sights and sounds that shape our perception of the world. But what if the world we see is not just a reflection of the external reality but a mirror of our own inner selves? Here I explore the transformative power of sight and the ways in which our own inner being shapes the reality we perceive.

Through our unique lenses of perception, we see the world in our own individual and profound ways, each reflection colored by the hues of our own souls. In this way, what we see is not merely a representation of the external world but a glimpse into our own innermost being.

The lens through which we view the world is not a static one. Rather, it is shaped and influenced by our own experiences, hopes, fears, and desires. It is our own inner being that determines what we see, and how we see it.

Listen

my rendition of ‘Through the Looking Glass of the Soul’:

my book “Through Grief’s Tender Heart“; p.285-286;

Through the Looking Glass of the Soul

Through eyes that see the world around,

a pure reflections to be found,

because all we see is but a view

of our own selves in a subtle hue.

 

It’s not the thing before our sight

that makes our vision pure and bright,

but rather, what we carry in,

that shapes the world that we begin.

 

So if we see with hearts of hate,

we’ll find in others that same trait,

and miss the beauty all around

in every sight, in every sound;

 

But if we look with eyes of Love,

we’ll find our souls expand above and beyond,

and in each moment, we’ll ever find, 

the magic of life, through love’s design.

 

All I see is but a glimpse

of what within my being imprints,

and in this way, I come to see

that I’m the one who sets me free.

 

That’s why I choose my lenses well,

and with each view, 

my soul compels

to seek the good, 

the true, 

the kind,

and leave the shadows far behind.

 

Because all you see is but a reflection,

of your soul’s own direction;

 

and in this way, we come to find

our truest selves, 

our purest mind…

When we look upon the world with open hearts and minds, we can see the beauty in even the most mundane of moments. But if we look at the world with closed hearts and minds, we may miss the wonder and magic of life altogether.

By cultivating a sense of wonder and openness in our hearts, we can learn to appreciate the beauty in even the most desolate of landscapes; we can begin to heal and transform our own inner worlds.
