Other selves are mirrors

[Nau7ik]

Great question! It's a big one too, imo. The way that the mirror works is that it's reflecting to you what you aren't seeing in yourself, in the other self. For example, say you procrastinate a lot, but you aren't very aware of your procrastinating. Then you see another person at, say, the library who is scrolling through their phone and drinking coffee with his books and laptop open not studying. You then get judgmental and angry about it. Why are you angry? Why do you care? Because you don't see those qualities in yourself, you're not accepting of it. To one who is mindful, they might reflect back on why they got angry and realize that they are doing the same thing, prostrating work.

This is but one example. And this is why relationships are so valueble a teaching tool in third density. It gives us the opportunity to see that which we aren't seeing in ourselves. It is US who is seeing something particular in the mirror of another self. The other is not aware that they're reflecting back to you. So what are you seeing in one particular mirror? Another self may be reflecting another aspect. We can learn from this. I had a big breakthrough in the open heart when I realized that what I didn't like in my father was what I was not accepting of in myself.

So that is my take on the concept of mirroring.
