The World Is Your Mirror
|
|
|
by Rev. David Ault |
|
|
We receive at the hands of the world according to the measure of our giving. For bad, bad; for good, good. For defective conduct we receive indifferent influence and imperfect success; for superior conduct we receive lasting power and consummate achievement. We act, and the world responds. When the foolish man fails, he blames others and sees no error in himself; but the wise man watches and corrects himself, and so is assured of success.
As A Man Thinketh - James Allen
The more self-aware we become, the more we realize that our world is simply one big mirror.
What we are dwelling on internally projects back to us “out there” in our day to day lives.
Just as we would stop and glance at our appearance in the mirror and make adjustments; brush our hair, snap on a necklace or tie a tie, we use that physical mirror as a directive to go for the exact thing that needs to be adjusted.
We don’t actually blame the mirror if the hair won’t part right or the knot in the tie isn’t quite working. We realize WE have to make the adjustments in order for the mirror to reflect back our satisfactory desire.
Try as we may to correct and adjust all the things going on in our lives that appear unworkable, we will only achieve assured success, as Allen suggests, by correcting ourselves – our thoughts about the situation. No use blaming the world for the world is only reflecting back to you what you're thinking.
A fable speaks of a wise man sitting outside the city gates when a traveler approaches and asks him what the people in the city are like. The wise man asked the traveler what the people were like in his last city and the traveler rants about how awful they were, unfriendly, mean spirited, etc. The wise man tells the traveler he will find the people in this city to be the same.
The traveler moves on.
As the wise man continues to sit, another traveler approaches and asks him what the people in the city are like. The wise man asks this traveler the same question as before: what were the people like in his last city. The traveler gets a peaceful, loving look in his eyes and talks about how wonderful they were, loving, kind and friendly. The wise man tells the traveler he will find this city to have the same loving, kind and friendly people.
Thus, the world is the mirror of our internal dialogue.
It’s never been the other way around. We will never be at the mercy of the world. We will never be at the mercy of trends, helpless to outer circumstances unless we choose to be.
If only we could understand and accept that. The surging energy of freedom would readily flood our being if we chose to adjust any self-deprecating, limited beliefs.
Another fable reads;
In India, the Spirit of the Plague passed an old man sitting under a tree.
Old Man: Where are you going?
Spirit: To Benares, to kill one hundred people.
Later, the old man heard that in Benares ten thousand had died. Then the Spirit of the Plague passed again on its return journey.
Old Man: You lied. You said you would kill one hundred.
Spirit: I killed one hundred. FEAR killed the rest.
All of humankind has an incredible power at their disposal, it’s called choice.
We choose whether we feel worthy or unworthy. We choose whether we will have a good time or whether we will be miserable. We choose whether we will walk the road of victim or skip down the road of unending power. We choose whether we will approach new adventures with an expectancy of good or whether we approach the continuing saga called the unknown with fear and trepidation.
We choose.
Isn’t that incredible?
Life becomes liberated when we gain the awareness that no-thing outside of us can choose our responses or make us feel anything we don’t choose for ourselves.
Examine your choices. Entertain the simple yet profound truth that if you do not like or are in fear of something, you can avoid the plague of misery and unhappiness by making a different choice on how to feel.
Real and lasting change is here for you now if you really want it.

David Ault
Visionary Vocalist, Author & Motivational Speaker
|
 |
David Ault is highly regarded as one of the finest visionary vocalists and motivational speakers within the New Thought/transformational movement.
His focus on remembering the Divine within and reclaiming that connection has empowered hundreds of thousands on their spiritual journey. The union of David’s charismatic message and heartfelt singing has elevated him to guest speaker of choice in many nationwide churches and global organizations.
As a licensed minister and practitioner through Religious Science International, as well as author, songwriter/recording artist, David has traveled and shared his gifts for well over fifteen years.
Working closely with notables Louise Hay and Marianne Williamson and sharing the stage with many cherished mentors ranging from the late Og Mandino to Dr. Barbara King, Jerald Jampolsky, Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Father Leo Booth and Mary Manin-Morrisey, David harvested that experience and developed his own unique style of teaching. His compassionate presence, warmth and humor continue to be an unforgettable guidepost for audiences as they rediscover and reawaken to their personal magnificence.
Starting out as a professional actor and singer, David worked extensively in Broadway tour shows, film and television winning critics awards in both New York and Los Angeles.
Throughout the 1980’s, David, along with the late Jerry Florence and Keith Kimberlin made their mark in New thought history by helping pioneer an unexplored musical genre—visionary vocal music. Known as Alliance, their remarkable blend became legendary, helping establish them as one of the most successful vocal groups in the Spiritual recording field.
David continues this musical path with the release of his critically acclaimed recordings, The Healing Bridge, Travelin’ With The Angels, All Is Calm, All Is Bright, And Then It Is Morning, all distributed through his Los Angeles based organization, The Conscious Company. Now, his highly anticipated literary debut, Where Regret Cannot Find Me, is heralded as "a fresh and exciting discovery in Spiritual literature ... a work of pure heart!"
"I feel extremely blessed and grateful in following this path", says David. "It is my ongoing intention to create a message in word and music that assists us all in reawakening to our personal magnificence!"
