Through the Looking Glass of Belief

Beauty is not in the mirror of form.Beauty is not in the shape, the curve, the reflection —But in the clear seeing beneath.

Yet, the eyes that look often wear their own conditioned tint, a subtle veil of “not enough,”a whisper of “lack” riding like a shadow on your light within.

This tint colours every glance, turns soft curves into sharp edges, gentle light into harsh glare.

The mirror does not lie —it simply returns what is given:the image filtered through the lens of belief, of clouded perception.

When “lack” hitches a ride on your light, the eyes and mind become treacherous storytellers, weaving tales and images of unworthiness in every glance.

But you are not the tint.You are not the shadow colouring of the gaze.

You are the clear seeing beneath the glass —the pure light that remains untouched, even when the lens 'seemingly' clouds over.

To look with unfiltered eyes is to meet yourself, your life, without definition, to see beauty not as a prize or end goal, but as the natural radiance of being itself.

The invitation is always here:to clean the glass, to loosen the perception of “lack,”and to remember that the light itself could never be diminished by illusion.

It is…perfect radiance…eternally
