@ Aion: I don't disagree with anything you said in your last post.
I definitely agree that everything that comes to our attention is something to be looked at. The whole mirroring thing, for me, becomes a little too cavalier at times, and sometimes derives I feel from lack of consideration and thought. I will admit that some of my attitude on this goes back to the 90s when I was interacting with various New Agers who bandied about certain phrases with no substance or comprehension (in my opinion).
I like to come to any subject with an empty cup (another martial arts axiom), in other words, no beliefs or systems in place to interfere with new information. So I think it's perfectly legitimate to question everything, to make my own discernments based on my own thinking. I happen to resonate with the Ra Material; perhaps not all of it but most of it in general. But it doesn't follow then that I just give up my own thinking and follow every last word of Ra. So I would say that this aligns with the idea of mirroring, whereby certain information is mirrored or you magnetize it to yourself, but after that, you apply it to your own life and context of existence, and still, there is always more to grasp; so in the bigger picture you don't want to be stagnant wallowing in the same still waters (information or beliefs) but flow with the currents that are open to gathering more information (or awareness). Perhaps this is what you mean by flow, and if so, we are on the same page here.
One of the problems I have with the mirroring response is that it effectively stops conversation. As a person who is alone A LOT, (I have worked alone at home for decades—and prefer it), I find it is very efficacious at times to get out of my head and say my thoughts out loud or some other way such as typing them; and in doing so, it sometimes helps to clarify or rearrange them in a revelatory fashion. Saying I am mirroring puts me right back in my head. And some subjects don't fit, such as talking about whether one agrees with the "words" of Ra and how one feels about the veil. Ra is not infallible (and the fact that though unconsciously channeled, the information did come through a third party), nor do we even know absolutely that Ra exists or existed. So to say that my doubt, if you want to call it that, is a mirror for me, well I suppose it is, but so what? I don't just do what any so-called authority tells me to do, and I will make up my own mind. So what is the mirror then? That I won't follow instructions from some other authority than my own? Now we have bypassed whatever it was in my head that I wanted to discuss (such as the veil), because I am supposed to get back in my head and figure out what is being mirrored. And so we see how convoluted the mirroring thing can get, if we just say to everybody that whatever it is they are thinking, seeing, having a problem with, is mirroring.
Okay, so enough with my diatribe on mirroring.
In any case, I do like discussing and debating and revealing new thought through interaction with others who think differently than me but who are interested in similar things.
