result of looking in the mirror and seeing yourself as someone on the outside might see you. Do you recognize this image as yourself, run away from it, or attack it when you see it? Are you embarrassed or ashamed when you finally accept that this image is you, or do you feel pride, empathy, and love? I had an office with a huge reflective window. The outside of the window was mirrored and it stretched to the ground. A red bird would come to the window and peck at its image. I often wondered how it could survive spending so much time fighting itself.

Take a lesson from the event, neutralize the trauma through love, forgiveness, understanding and move on from this reflection in a 49 positive way. Find a way to say “thank you for the lesson.” Otherwise, you'll be like the red bird pecking at its reflection. I tried to help the bird by taping paper along the bottom edge of the window. Instead of tapping at its reflection, the bird would now leap up and attack it with even greater vigour.
Whatever I did, the bird insisted on attacking its own reflection, even if it meant finding another window to attack because mine was completely covered in paper. Consider how you interpret the past, present, and future through reflection. You may not realize it, but these are your reflections. It is your interpretation of the previous level's true event. You have complete control over how this reflection is created. It is applicable to this focus level as well as the higher octave levels. Keep in mind that these lower levels of focus are a physical representation of what are cognitive processes at higher levels. 50 Focus Level 10 Color yellow, Geometry: Horizontal.
