Quote:What I don't particularly understand about the concept of seeing ones imbalances from an other self is that how then can this same opinion be shared among others? Take a coworker for instance. It's been agreed upon that she just isn't well like due to pot stirring tendencies and over lack of trust. Now does this mean that we all are exhibiting the exact same imbalance?
I mean I can still accept her as myself and see the all is one aspect but that doesn't change the consensus regarding her actions.
It's a bit paradoxical to me
There are at least two sub-types of mirror effects I find (thanks to Greg Braden for breaking it down, but also I have found this to be true):
(1) The other self is an identical mirror of you
(2) The other self is a mirror of what you have not yet accepted, understood, and integrated fully; a shadow mirror - essentially, they mirror the part of you that you have rejected
In your example Jeremy, perhaps you should study whether you truly accept her 100% and understand her eccentricities, or whether you in fact do not accept her fully because you judge her actions as wrong or feel disapproval in some significant way. Feelings of "I can't understand why she does that at all" would be also of the same nature. Acceptance is without judgement; Love is without judgement, without conditions, and comes from acceptance and understanding.
That being said, unless you seem to run into people similar to her a lot, or this one particular person keeps coming up in your life, it's probably not a major lesson - there are billions of different people out there. But if the universe seems to hone you in on her, then it's probably a significant mirror and an important lesson. Then again, you brought her up as an example in your post, so perhaps there was a reason for that.
