Beautiful thread En! Great insights.
I love Escher. Good transition thread too...in 8 days will begin the White Mirror wavespell, around these very themes.
The mirror...in a way the Eagle could instead be a giant mirror. And when you die you face it...and if you are not emotionally triggered by what it shows you...you can pass. Just another way of looking at it, not saying this is what happens but I often think it's good to perceive like this in that we need to be detached when facing our fate (recap thoroughly, be brutally honest upon self but in a compassionate easy way), but not so detached because what we will have is our path with heart to remember our purpose and what we do care about, but not earthy cares, but rather warrior's wonders.
When facing difficult parts of self, I sometimes use the visual of the fish...in Buddhism it represents the ever-open eyes of compassion so this helps me face difficult memories or realiztions and move on, shed them, knowing compassion is an eternal force that witnesses me/us. This leads us to release of guilt, shame, blame, all those conditioned reactions we were 'taught' to intend forth.
I think ultimately we need to make the declaration of innocence when standing before the "cosmic mirror". So your thread here compliments this one, so I'll link it http://sorcery.yuku.com/topic/3171/The- ... -Innocence
