00:00 World is your mirror. What do I mean by that phrase? What I mean by the world is your mirror is that the world will always reflect things back
into you in accordance to where you are at in your life, with your character, with your desires, with your emotions, with your thoughts, according
to your beliefs, according to your perception, according to the way that you view yourself and the world. Welcome, my friend, to another episode
from Inside Treasures. My name is Phoebus, and I love to challenge myself and those around me for the purpose of growth.
00:40 I am here to help you heal, change, and grow. That lens filters that lens of perception filters the way that you see the world. We don’t all see
the world in the same way.
00:54 There are certain things that overlap, and we all agree. Some of us agree and some of us disagree. But at the same time, when it comes into your
personal life, into the way in which you move through life, into the way that which you relate to life, in the way that you relate to the world
out there, and how you relate with that and with yourself, the things that you will notice outside of you are actually the things that you’re
noticing that are inside of you.
01:24 If I get annoyed, for example, by someone about something, there can be the genuine times that what they did was annoying, right? But at the same
time, there’s something in me that relates to that, whether that is an annoyance that I have about myself or whether I do something that I’m
annoyed by, or whether it’s something that they did that I do. Always keep that in mind. The things that you observe, the things that you see in
the world, and actually that you keep flagging them, they keep pointing back to you.
02:01 They keep pointing back to you. Especially the things that cause you a lot of pain, especially when it comes to relationships. Relationships, oh,
my goodness, they are amazing.
02:13 They’re just, like, such a huge catalyst in you, seeing yourself. You get into a relationship, things are good or things are bad, and then all of
a sudden, things get even worse or even better. That depends on where you’re at.
02:26 That depends on how you’re working with yourself and how you’re working with the other person. And, of course, usually, like, meets like. So we
get to attract like attracts like, and we get to see parts of ourselves in other people.
02:42 They get to mirror ourselves, and we get to mirror them. And for that, we also have to be very careful, because sometimes we start to play roles
and mirror other people when it’s not really who we are, when it’s not really the way that we are in our lives. So a lot of this has to do with
other people, with yourself, but also with the world.
03:04 And what I find quite interesting is like with social media within news always being in our faces, things are being bombarded and picked up.
Things that they’re perhaps not inside us start to become things that are inside us. So we start to pay more attention into the war stories and
the horror stories and the bad things that happened, who got mugged and this and that.
03:24 I’m gonna stop because I don’t like that. It’s how it is, right? So then you start to obsess about this is how the world is. So the world out
there is dictating you how to view the world.
03:38 And of course that is like programming ourselves over and over and over again to see and notice specific things. You see what you weren’t. Now all
of a sudden you have become.
03:49 And now you’re something else that is not you. And you get to see things that you wouldn’t before. At the same time, the other things that keep
repeating over and over and over again.
04:01 Why does someone always keep interrupting me when I speak? Why does always this happen? Why does someone always criticize my work? Why do I have
to feel this way? Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We have these things that are repeated, right? And they’re lessons. They’re lessons that we can
learn from a quick announcement.
04:19 I’ve been working behind the scenes for the past few months around a course called finding stillness. Finding stillness is about helping you to
create that space in your life, to create deeper connection, primarily with yourself, but then as a result, with the people around you. It has to
do with cultivating more self love, more understanding, more acceptance towards yourself, your thoughts, your emotions.
04:26 Finding stillness is something that I personally find it very important and crucial. If you’re interested, go to my website, insidetreasures.com
and look for the course finding stones. Finding stillness is about pressing pause in life, about you finding the time and the space and
cultivating that and create that in order for you to experience a moment of bliss, which you get to create a moment of space, a moment for you
where you can sit back and actually see your life for what it is.
05:23 It’s about presencing yourself in what is going on every single day, in every single moment. That doesn’t mean this is what you will do, because
in a way that can also sound tedious, but it’s about improving the quality of your life by presencing yourself more and more and more. And there’s
so much abundance of gifts that comes as a result of you being able to do that.
05:49 So if you’re interested, go to insidetrezors.com. look for findings stillness. And I will see you at the course.
05:57 Thank you, my friend. The more emotional stirred you get by something, the bigger the board it is about the lesson that you need to learn, right?
It’s like it happens there, the more it stirs you, it moves you emotionally. You’re like, oh, my God, I can’t handle this.
06:13 The more this is like, look here. That is the sign. That is the mirror I’ve been talking about.
06:18 The world will show you. It’s like, look within. There’s something here that doesn’t add up.
06:21 There’s something here that is out of line. There’s something here that moves you from your congregation, from your being, from who you are into
who you’re not. But there’s a slanted view.
06:34 There’s a belief there. There’s a wound there. There’s a trauma.
06:37 There’s something. There’s something that you need to work with. And that’s why these things come up and they point the arrow and they tell you,
notice, hear what’s going on.
06:47 Work with me. Work with this. See for what it is, experience it for what it is without re traumatizing ourselves, without being in the sense of,
you know, pushing ourselves and making things even far worse.
07:01 Because then again, you’re repeating the pattern in a different way. So what you see in the world outside of you mirrors you. So next time that
something comes up, next time that someone says something and you think, oh, that’s rude.
07:16 Or that’s this, notice yourself, oh, that’s rude. And it’s easy to judge, oh, that’s rude. You shouldn’t do that.
07:28 But then when you reflect back and think, have I been rude in my life? Yes, you have. I’ve been rude in my life. Okay, am I being rude now? In the
immediate context, have there been times that I’m actually being rude and mean to other people? Am I being mean to myself and rude to myself?
Because that’s an interesting topic.
07:54 Oh, no, no. I would never be rude to somebody else. And it’s like, are you sure? And then it’s like, are you being rude to yourself? I really love
this context.
08:00 I really love this play. Because often, especially in the context of coaching, you start to see that whatever you see out there is in here, right?
And thinking about that now, it brings me, I was having a conversation with a client, and we’re talking about this context, and they just started
telling me stories about how their life was and, you know, the inconvenience that they had there. It’s more when you do it experientially rather
than mentally.
08:35 What I’m saying. That makes sense because now I’m just using generic examples. But when we have that one to one conversation, we dial in into what
is relevant to you, and we can pick and draw out the things that actually they show up and they resonate with you, that have a resonance, and it’s
visible.
08:55 It’s easy to see, and you can sense it as well. It’s not like I can see it. You can, you can, you will.
09:02 But then when you draw that out, and then we just start to weave in and see, whoa, that’s a long thread. And of course, without you, there’s a
process. We go deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and see where things are coming from and see what.
09:18 What has been hidden. We have been unable to see because the world is a mirror. But at the same time, it can be a foggy mirror and we can’t really
see what’s going on.
09:28 We see one thing, but actually what’s behind the mirror is something else. And that is where it gets confusing, because we see the world. We see
the world.
09:35 We see the world outside. Outside. Then what happens on the inside? We’re outside focused, but the outside is trying to come in to reveal things.
09:50 For the next week, notice how your life unfolds. Notice what emerges in your life. Notice the things that stir your emotions and try to understand
again.
10:05 Spectator view. We don’t have to go crazy about this. Spectator view.
10:10 What is this trying to tell me about me? What is there that’s in me that I see outside of me? What is in resonance? There’s something that
resonates in me that is outside of me. And when the two meet, I can see it. I can see it because I co vibrate.
10:31 I resonate at the same frequency. If I change my radio station, it’s outside of my awareness. It doesn’t exist anymore.
10:40 But there’s a reason I’m tuned in. There’s a reason the two overlap. They overlap because I co vibrate in that.
10:51 And I know you might have a question, well, if I were to do that, does that mean that all the bad and evil in the world is going to go away? No,
it won’t. But it’s how much in tune you are that. And what do you choose to be more in tune with? Do you want to be able to see the joy, the
laughter, the happiness the love in the world or do you want to see all the bad things? And that doesn’t mean, like, we be completely oblivious
and unaware to what is going on.
11:19 And then also how much of that actually is part of your life. That’s a different story because, like, when I’m talking about news, for many
people, they watch the news, but actually what happens in the news is not actually part of their life. It’s not part of their life because news
spread and they go everywhere.
11:37 And I hear something about the happens in Greece. My heart feels for that. I know that it happened, but in a direct way.
11:45 It has nothing to do with my life, so I don’t need it as part of my mirroring. It doesn’t mirror anything about me. To choose intentionally and
see the things that are being pressed and impressed on you so you can start moving in a certain direction.
12:11 Whether that is fear, anxiety, stress, all these things that get created. And then also, like, you notice the good, you notice the bad, the good
things, again, it’s a mirror of you. What’s inside of me, again, the good things as well, right? Like what’s inside me that allows me to see the
joy in children and the happiness in my wife.
12:35 What’s inside me that allows me to see the magnificence in you. Magnificence in me. Love in me.
12:45 I see love. Cause I am love and I can feel love in me. And when it comes to love, the only way to perceive love is not to receive.
12:55 It is to start loving. It comes from within. That’s a completely separate episode.
13:02 But there’s something in me that allows me to see what’s out there. Allow those thoughts to come in and play with them. Play with this concept.
13:17 Play with noticing where the world is your mirror. Play noticing where you are mirroring the world. Because it’s a coin.
13:28 We mirror the world. The world mirrors us. Particularly when it comes to relationships.
13:35 Thank you, my friend, for tuning in to another episode from Inside Treasures. My name is Phoebus. And until next time, my friend, let peace guide
