You Are Not What You See (Song)

Next time you look in the mirror, look again.

Whether it's your face or your body you're frowning at, they are not who you really are. You are the one who is living inside this physical form. The physical form grows old and perishes, but you are much deeper than that.

As you listen to this song, let it bring you out of the distraction of thoughts about your appearance into the awareness of your inner world and the freedom that comes with knowing who you really are.

When you see your face, please don't forget what lies behind those eyes

And yet, I know, the world will often see what's in the mirror, but not me

That is not what I see.

Even though your mind is telling you that this is who you really are

Do not listen, it's not true, you are the one inside your heart

Do you see what I see?

Wake up, please darling, wake up

It's time to shake up the world you see

Wake up, please darling, wake up

It's time to shake up the world you see

If only we could realise the truth that lies behind those eyes

Then we would see our superficial differences fall away like lies

What a beautiful surprise!

Wake up, please darling, wake up

It's time to shake up the world you see

Wake up, please darling, wake up

It's time to shake up the world you see

When you see your face, please don't forget what lies behind those eyes

And yet, I know, the world will often see what's in the mirror, but not me

That is not what I see.

This isn't just about looking in the mirror and saying some affirmations - this is about realising that you are more than what you see. You're more than your body, you're more than your face, you're more than your thoughts and your feelings. You're deeper than all of that.

You are consciousness itself, you are life itself, in the body of a human being. There's so much more to you than what you see on the outside.

“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.” ~Antione de Saint-Exupery
