The "Mirror Hall" has no doors.
Because a threshold implies sealing, and sealing is a form of silence; while a key implies opening, and opening becomes a wound.
Beauty would wither in silence, and a wound would disrupt aesthetic. Thus the Mirror Hall has no grand doors, only windows — the windows are eyes, mediums for observing beauty.
Therefore, every painting on the outer wall is a mirror, a window.
Aiwass led Arsene to the painting closest to them.
—It was a religious painting, with a dark red hue, set in a wall of red jade.
Aiwass had indeed seen this painting—it was painted by an acquaintance of his.
It was the work of a former Vice Principal of the Spirit Summoning Tower, Adolf Von Menzel, who used his entire life, soul, and memory to create the "Pale White Extremity" series.
This painting was called "Iron Rolling Factory," an oil painting.
