再一次使用鏡子的隱喻:光身的證悟表示這個人不再處於「是被鏡子反射出的一個人」的情況(其以二元方式看待自己或鏡中自己的反射),而是已成為鏡子本體的情況,是故現在他整個能量就像鏡子能量顯現的方式。了知自己能量如何顯現為「當」、「羅巴」和 「查」,吾人便能夠完全融攝自己的能量,直接貫穿到實際物質存在的層次。這可經由修持「四身印」(Four Da)生起界部境相、或經由修習「四光」生起妥噶四相而達成。妥噶四相的發展方式與界部境相的發展非常類似。

打破自我反映之鏡
巫士增加的能量是來自自我反映的縮減,所以能擁有更多的覺知範圍。
The sorcerers' increased energy, derived from the curtailment of their self-reflection, allows their senses a greater range of perception.
「我試著讓你明白,不管對於巫士或普通人,唯一有價值的行動是,去克制我們與自我形象的糾纏。」他說,「Nagual(上師)和門徒所專注的目標是,打破他們的自我反映之鏡。
"I've been trying to make clear to you that the only worthwhile course of action, whether for sorcerers or average men, is to restrict our involvement with our self-image," he continued. "What a nagual aims at with his apprentices is the shattering of their mirror of self-reflection."
「我們每個人對於自我反映的執著都不相同,」他說,「這種執著感是有所需要。例如,在我開始知識的追尋之前,我的生命是無止境的需要;在進入 nagual 胡里安門下許多年後,我仍舊是同樣的需要,如果沒有更惡化的話。
"Each of us has a different degree of attachment to his self-reflection," he went on. "And that attachment is felt as need. For example, before I started on the path of knowledge, my life was endless need. And years after the nagual Julian had taken me under his wing, I was still just as needy, if not more so.
「但有一些人,巫士或普通人,什麽都不需要。他們的平靜、和諧、歡笑與知識,直接來自於力量,不需要任何媒介。至於你和我,情况就不一樣。我是你的媒介;nagual 胡里安是我的媒介。媒介除了提供最低限度的幫助使門徒對意願察覺之外,還幫助他們打破自我反映之鏡。」
"But there are examples of people, sorcerers or average men, who need no one. They get peace, harmony, laughter, knowledge, directly from the spirit. They need no intermediaries. For you and for me, it's different. I'm your intermediary and the nagual Julian was mine. Intermediaries, besides providing a minimal chance - the awareness of intent - help shatter people's mirrors of self-reflection.
