You Evolve
In The Tibetan Book of the Dead, they make mention of a stage of the souls journey through the bardo where the soul encounters a “mirror.” This mirror is only a barrier if the soul perceives a mismatch between their self-image and what the mirror reflects.

Align Your Energies with the Choice
Simple arbitrary rejection of the apparent is as silly as it seems. Reality won’t let you ignore it, but reality will let you recategorize it.
