Ethics:
Spiritual & Natural Systems are One
The natural and spiritual realms are more Whole or One than they are two separate realms. This is largely the premise for the Mirror Image Concept, which is, that they both share similar principles & patterns and each are useful in advising the other on what is true according to the collective conscience or the Christ that is in all things.
Observe & Interact
Perhaps one of our greatest tools is to simply observe what is already happening. To live with eyes and ears wide open at all times. To interact is equally important. There's no telling how it will go when you engage with the unknown. And that's the point....until you avail yourself to the unknown you are not practicing the posture of rebirth. And outside of the posture of rebirth, you cannot see the Kingdom of Heaven
Context Matters: Members Define the Whole, The Whole Defines the Members
Life is relationships of parts creating wholes. Viewing anything in isolation is not the real thing. A world Disconnected.....?? Context really matters! Nothing is meaningful.....
The Relational Dynamics
- Vision or Aim
- Language
- Communications
- Truths
- Principle, Patterns & Practice
- Systems
- Environments
A Burden that is Light
This is not to say we only take the easy route. In fact, we would make the case that to continue doing the same thing that obviously fosters the wrong fruit or outcome is actually the lazy thing to do. Real work, is to find the burden that is light or that which comes natural. If we force the apple tree to produce oranges that would be a heavy burden. Producing apples from an apple tree on the other hand, is easy. Lots of times we can find ourselves forcing things into our narrative rather than asking why something isn't working.
Requisite - As Required by Nature
The nature of how things work does not only suggest a better way. The laws of nature actually require your attention if you and the systems you design and are part of are going to thrive. The principles and patterns will be heard or you and your work will be chewed up and spat out.
The Future We En-vision
We want to practice imagining a better future. What problems do we see and how might we participate in a solution. In developing any solution we must have real connection to the actual problem. If there is no real relationship to a problem you cannot truly participate with an effective and meaningful solution.
Transparency
We want to choose transparency but one cannot simply claim transparency without also participating with the designs that naturally foster transparency. By now you probably get the idea that the Mirror Image intentions are to design for what we want. We need both, the choosing to walk in transparency and the designs that foster it. Attempting either one separate from the other is unnecessarily hard work. They are part of the same whole.
