The Mirror Was Never Broken
Your true reflection has always been whole.
There is a moment, often quiet and unassuming, when you catch a glimpse of yourself—not through the eyes of who the world told you to be, but through the clear presence of your own being.
That moment can feel unsettling or even unfamiliar — conditioned to define self by distortion: by productivity, approval, trauma, or shame.
The self you present is often a composite, shaped more by defense than by truth.
But beneath all of that, your soul has never turned away.
It has never forgotten its shape.
Even when the external mirror showed you something fragmented or unworthy, your inner truth remained intact.
Soul-sight is not an act. It doesn’t rely on your achievements or your healing.
It only asks: can you pause long enough to see what’s real beneath what you’ve carried?
This practice begins the unraveling of that false mirror.
It invites you to name the distortion—not to make yourself wrong for believing it, but to finally see it for what it is: an trained misunderstanding, not a soul truth.
From here, you begin the return to a gaze that liberates rather than confines.
You begin to see yourself whole.
Questions for Your Akashic Records:
1. What part of me has never been truly seen?
2. Where in my life have I mistaken distortion for truth?
3. What stories about myself still come from someone else’s eyes?
4. When was the last time I felt truly witnessed—not for what I do, but for who I am?
5. What part of me is waiting to be seen without judgment?
Seeing Your Self
You do not need to search for your wholeness—it is already here, waiting underneath the noise. Every time you notice a moment of harsh self-judgment, you open the door to something expressing deeper truth. Begin there. Breathe into that small space between reflex and realization.
Let yourself lean into the idea that you are not a broken thing to be fixed. You are a living presence ready to be seen—not through the eyes of the past, but through the truth that flows within you now. As you move forward, think on this: real witnessing does not require perfection. Witnessing self only asks for honesty.
