Reflections
of Self
We Are All Mirrors for Each Other
By: Evelyn T. Du
People you feel drawn to reflect your inner self back at you, and you
act as a mirror for them as well.
When we look at other people, we see many of their qualities in
innumerable and seemingly random combinations. However, the qualities
that we see in the people around us are directly related to the traits
that exist in us. “Like attracts like” is one of the spiritual laws of
the universe. We attract individuals into our lives that mirror who we
are. Those you feel drawn to reflect your inner self back at you, and
you act as a mirror for them. Simply put, when you look at others, you
will likely see what exists in you. When you see beauty, divinity,
sweetness, or light in the soul of another, you are seeing the goodness
that resides in your soul. When you see traits in others that evoke
feelings of anger, annoyance, or hatred, you may be seeing reflected
back at you those parts of yourself that you have disowned or do not
like.
Because we are all mirrors for each other, looking at the people in your
life can tell you a lot about yourself. Who you are can be laid bare to
you through what you see in others. It is easy to see the traits you do
not like in others. It is much more difficult to realize that you
possess those same traits. Often, the habits, attitudes, and behaviors
of others are closely linked to our unconscious and unresolved issues.
When you come into contact with someone you admire, search your soul for
similarly admirable traits. Likewise, when you meet someone exhibiting
traits that you dislike, accept that you are looking at your reflection.
Looking at yourself through your perception of others can be a humbling
and eye-opening experience. You can also cultivate in you the traits
and behaviors that you do like. Be loving and respectful to all people,
and you will attract individuals that will love and respect you back.
Nurture compassion and empathy and let the goodness you see in others be
your mirror.
