Reflections of yourself in the other and insights are always waiting to be found. If you can find your own reflection especially, then it becomes impossible to judge as you'd be judging yourself.
Insights can be complex and not obvious, which is what is being described in the Transformation of the Mind (99.8), where the sharpness of the intellect is able to keep separation in tact by creating justifications as to why you and the other are different. Take for instance overweight people. As someone who is very thin my reflection is not immediately apparent. People unfortunately easily judge overweight people, but we all embody their traits. Being overweight could be broken down symbolically to simply represent lack of movement, lack of motivation, and attachment to substance. I've certainly been lazy in the past and lacked motivation by not tending to what needs to be done. There is a lot to be done in terms of healing and rebuilding society, so there are many opportunities for service but I don't exactly give as much as I could. That's a lack of movement. Also, I've easily indulged in things and have had a hard time saying no when it comes to catalyst of the body. So I'm not any different than someone who is overweight.
So while the reflection is not immediately apparent, it can be found. The rocking back and forth described in the Transformation of Mind (100.6), eventually abandoning this sharpness of mind and using external reflections to see yourself is to make use of the deep mind. The deep mind seems to represent these insights that lay way beneath the surface. This whole balancing process is movement from sts to sto, choosing light over dark.
Also I just realized that in that card, the person is possibly hugging themselves..love of self over others..which I think is what Ra might be suggesting in 99.8 when they ask the group to consider what the triangle means. To uncross the arms and hold them outwardly would represent radiance, and opening itself to others.
"Resting in this balanced awareness, the entity then opens the self to the universe which it is."
