Mirrors

Mirrors are an interesting topic as everyone can relate to on some level.  Okay but what is a mirror you may ask?  Physical mirrors aside, mirrors are based on the principle that everything in the external world is simply a reflection of our internal landscape. It’s part of the law of attraction.  We attract certain people into our lives, our friends and partners that mirror a part of ourselves.  

Basically we reflect or “mirror” our issues and life lessons onto other people...so they reflect what we need to work on at the time.  This is done very much on a sub-conscious level, until we become aware of it.  As we grow as a person and our lessons change, we start to attract new people into our life that reflect our new way of being.  This is the main reason why friends and lovers depart from our lives.  We have learnt the lesson and are ready to move on!  This can be confusing for the other person, as they may not really understand this.

One must be very honest and place the ego aside, as a mirror can reveal what one would prefer not to know.  When you realise that a mirror is a gift you have the opportunity to see it in a different light.  If someone in your life really annoys you, she/he is reflecting a part of yourself that you don’t like.  If someone in your life is controlling you, you need to look at your own lesson of self-control and that of others.  If you allow other people to simply “be”, others will mirror that.  If we find someone in your life is judging us, we need to look at our own lesson of judgment and how we can be less judgmental

It’s quite a complex system that is ultimately there to help us on our journey.  You really need to examine your relationships honestly in order to see the mirror.  When you change yourself, you change the mirror.  People in your life that no longer match your mirror will drift away as you have less and less in common with them.  This can seem sad at first, but the other person also has the opportunity to change as well.  Next time your feeling a victim, take a closer look at your mirrors!
