There are different
crystals, with varying colors, there some that are smooth, rough, with plated
filigree, grinding, hard, brittle, bright, opaque and mirrored.
Life is expressed
as a constant dynamic interactions between these crystals. They
are the ones that make us see things in a certain way or form; its colors and
brightness condition ourselves, and situations that have an intrinsic reality
are interpreted differently depending on the lens through which we look. One can see the same situation in a certain
way at a time of our life and a completely different depending on the glass we
choose to observe the situation. This
crucially affects us...transforming us into slaves of the crystal that we
choose at any time. Sometimes
those crystal enlighten us, they show us the way of joy, sometimes they lead us
down paths of unhappiness...but at the end of the day, we are the ones that chose
the crystals...the crystals do not choose us.
Sometimes life
gives us a gift and it makes two mirrored lenses to naturally face each other,
looking closely, reflecting intimately. This
reflection is so infinitely played...and in a nearby space which in turn is
also perceived as distant, these mirrors are closely attached, taking communion,
kissing each other. The
light they receive is shared in a loving fashion so that they shine together,
and in doing so they create harmony and give birth to a special light. Similarly, by merging into eternally projected
images they move into a higher energy level. This
play of lights and images is being reproduced indefinitely as long as these crystals
maintain their position, allowing the light to be received together...this is
perhaps the most intimate connection between crystals. And
this crystal union remains even though the crystals rotate on their axis...and
regardless of the speed with which they do...the important thing is to keep
the facing position, that is to keep the commitment between them.
Suddenly one day,
a change of energy, generated by an unknown cosmic source induces one of these crystal/mirrors
to rotate 180 degrees so as to turn its back on his fellow mirror. With
this simple change the surface of the mirror that has moved becomes a dark wall...inert, lifeless, without the ability to reflect the slightest light. It's
amazing to think that the same element can be presented in such a different way
and do this movement so fast and capriciously. The
mirror that stays still remembers and reveres the light that was shared between
them but now it is confronted with this opaque wall...and while it may feel
that there is some kind of light still related to the inverted mirror, the nature of that light is perceived as distant
and dead. Even
if it tries to see beyond, trying to capture some of the light that originally
bounded them, or the light that the other mirror might be reflecting in other directions, this is not possible and beyond
small flashes, there is nothing, no light...no life.
The light reflected
between the two crystals seemed safe, eternal...but the dynamics of crystals
respond to other forces, and the crystals have the ability to choose to change
positions, sometimes with defined clarity, sometimes driven by confusing needs...to ask crystals for certainty, something that some might call security, it is
asking them too much.
These
are the crystals where we get lost
