you cannot change the reflection
in the mirror
the only way to see
anything different
is to look inward
to the Source
here is the only Sanity to be found
the mirror can never reflect
two versions of yourself
beCause there are not two versions
the reflection cannot be separate from its Source
the reflection has no separate existence
to mistake yourself for the reflection
is to temporarily lose your Self
the reflection has no life of its own
it cannot see
hear
speak
taste
touch
feel
think
know
laugh
has no dimension
was never born and cannot die
cannot feel pain or love
it cannot fail or succeed
it DOES NOT BREATHE
be not fooled by an image--
you are not the image
Alice in the looking glass,
Lost in space,
cut off from Source...
unable to communicate,
to make a sound even,
to breathe
or love,
completely superficial--cardboard cutout
empty
helpless
to come out of the glass
where you are not
you cannot return
to What You Have Never Left
you can wake up
from a nightmare, though
Psycho is a movie.
You are not in it,
you are watching it.
You cannot BE hurt.
Just try to kill a reflection...
let me know how it goes :-)
and has that reflection EVER
spoken first?
Has she ever even made a sound?
What would you be
without that reflection in the mirror?
What would you be without any image of yourself?
you will never ever be the reflection in the mirror
Look in, dear One, in,
where all safety
all sanity
lives
mirrors don't even breathe,
just notice...
The Healing Power of Writing
Hi! Welcome to the Joy of Miracles.
To write is to uncover, to unhide, to bring to light, and express what is within. To share is the end of all private thoughts, all shame, all guilt, all pain and separation. Here is all Joy found at last! Writing helps us to repeat, focus, choose, and remember ideas. The purpose of this writing is healing for all of us.
This blog is inspired by "A Course in Miracles"and The Work of Byron Katie. You are invited to share your comments by clicking on the word "comment" at the end of each post. If you scroll way down there's a little info about me and also an archive of past writing you can view by clicking on the title. Thanks so much for visiting...

About Me
- Joy Schultz
- I have been a student of A Course in Miracles since 1986. It has helped me tremendously to be a happier person by helping me change my perception of everything. I have found writing to be very helpful in the process of practicing, experiencing, and living the ideas in the Course. In 2006 I started sharing inspiration from the Course with a friend. Now it is a joy to share it with everyone. In 2009, The Work of Byron Katie found me at a woman's group. The Work is a way to identify and question your stressfuI beliefs. I dove right in and in April 2013 became a Certified Facilitator of The Work of Byron Katie. I work with people privately and offer online classes. Please visit www.joyofthework.com for more information. I also still occasionally lead the 11am Sunday Gathering at the Rocky Mountain Miracles Center in Denver.
