The mirror is the manifestation of the act of "it is the way of distortion that in order to balance a distortion one must accentuate it. [104.2]" It's an analogue to the exercise Ra encourages to use, the intensify the feelings of each end of the dipole until you can resolve them.
When we see someone who makes us mad, for whatever reason, they are creating a caricature, an accentuation of a distortion we want balanced, so that we can understand it. The hard part is, we don't often consciously know what lessons we are trying to learn, so sometimes they aren't as obvious or direct as, that person is impatient, I'm mad at my own impatience. There are many layers to perceived failings of the self.
By intensifying the feelings of impatience, ignorance, hatred, during meditation, we are allowing these feelings their full expression. Anything short of that likely involves some sort of repression, and therefore redounds into further catalyst.
