The world is a mirror unto yourself.  You can easily see this.  Talk angrily with a person and they will become angry.  Say nothing to a person and he will say nothing to you.  Regard him warmly and he will do the same.  This holds true for the infinite scale of all reality.  How you regard and treat your existence moulds and gives form and meaning to that existence itself.

I'm afraid the sight isn't that easy to obtain. Why do you necessitate that talking angry with another person will cause them to become angry? While it is true that there is an interesting, mirror-like interaction that occurs amongst individuals, I do not see it as being so simple as "I feel this way, so others feel this way, as they are a mirror to myself".

The mirror that I refer to concerns the nature of two nexus points of consciousness becoming aware of each other. Consciousness mirroring consciousness - regardless of the form or the specific nature of the situation in which they are interacting. It is the formless that mirrors itself, not necessarily the form.

One has an incredible oppurtunity to influence their life situation and their navigation of reality, as reality, but every single aspect of reality plays its own part. Your life is clearly not strictly your dominion. You are a form produced by form. We play a tremendous role in affecting reality, perhaps because of the fact that we are reality.


Peace.

It isn't that every person you talk angrily to will become angry with you, it is just that people will unavoidably attract what they are putting out there.  Anger will always follow you when you are angry, your reality is manifested for you.  People getting angry at other people who are angry is just an example.

I agree, it isn't that I feel this way so others do as well.  Many times it is the opposite.  I'm not trying to say that everything is your clone, it is just that there is a definite relation between what you give to the universe and what you receive from the universe.  And your perception of the universe is based on how you treat it.

Hmm, yes.  Isn't impossible for bare consciousness not to mirror itself?   After all, it is bare.  There is only the realization that it has been doing that all along, not a new and sudden mirroring.

Yes!  So why not realize the power we have over it and do something about it?  That's all I'm saying.  We have the power to actually do something about our reality and those people around us, so do something.

I think we are all doing something, all the time.

The simple fact that we exist and that we are present implies that our presence produces constant change in ourselves and reality.

You're right, of course, we should all bring attention to the nature of our presence and our abilities to influence, and perhaps more effectively utilize that capability, to actively produce desireable change within, and in our environment.

But making such a statement always gives me a sense of amusement, as I get the image of someone standing on the sidewalk, beckoning those who walk around him "Hey, stop doing stuff, and listen up! You have the power to do stuff! Start doing stuff!".

See what I mean? I'm not stating that making such a statement is not necessary, or essential, simply observing some humor in making the statement. It promotes awareness of one's behavior and one's experience, which is crucial.


Peace.

I think you have some good correlations but you need to reprove some of your points to make it more clear and logically sound, so that your train of thought can be better understood, in the picture your trying to relate to us

And what points need to be revised, in order for the point to become more clear and conforming to logical standards? It is great that you have concern for improvement in the way he expresses his thoughts and ideas, but perhaps you could play a more active role in working with him towards that? If so, you just might find yourself in profound discussion, true interaction between conscious minds.
