Mirroring as a spiritual concept is the understanding that everyone we see, hear and meet on the outside only reflect aspects of self! Through humanity and its physical experience, we have chosen a physical medium, to see on the outside, what we cannot see within.  These ‘mirrors’ provide a multiple service:  perhaps enabling us to see what we need to acknowledge, perhaps what we need to remove,  sometimes what we need to forgive or not judge, or accept or embrace,…

When we take this deeper, we also understand mirroring works beyond time and space, and thus the people who make up our personal and larger reality help us view aspects of self… of not only current life self… but also aspects we have chosen to work with from what we call past or future lives!

Very often we are not able to see the quality we are mirroring - in current self – and we reject the mirroring concept - without understanding it may be reflecting an aspect from a past life that we have chosen to work with in this life!  Here the deeper understanding that we live beyond linear time in what’s called simultaneous time comes into play! For example if it is arrogance in the other that we view…and if we have truly gone within and truly cannot see it in current self… the mirror may be showing me an aspect of arrogance I have dealt with/disempowered in a ‘previous’ life and only some residue is left, and I am kindly being shown this by the other person so that I may bring it into conscious awareness and thus remove it! Otherwise it remains suppressed (unconscious) for me to deal with in another ‘life’…!

Also very crucial for us to understand- is that very often we are being shown qualities of ‘future’ selves!  As mentioned above, our existence is far beyond the uni-dimensional self we know… we truly live in a multidimensional reality and simultaneous time! Thus mirrors may reflect to us aspects that we may be moving into in the future of this life or another! And by viewing it another in the Now, we have the chance to move away from it (if it’s negative) before we ‘become’ it and experience its effects! If they are positive mirrors from a future phase or life, we are given the chance to start tapping into those aspects, like a preparation! So if we remain with the example of arrogance: Perhaps my larger self, has aspects of arrogance and has chosen to experience it more wholly in a future life (as in this life i am focusing on other aspects) .Thus   issues of arrogance will be part of my future life so that then, through its difficult effects and experiences, I will learn to move on from arrogance. However by viewing it now and accepting the responsibility to disempower it within - we may choose to disempower it in the now and thus save ourselves a future life with such learning! What’s simply called- shaping a better destiny! So again we become aware of what great service the other is doing us- or that we have chosen this mirror to help us with this - and the feelings of blame and anger become redundant!

However this understanding is not to be used as a  cop out… by saying ‘oh I don’t see this within me in the now so why bother about a past or previous life”  because the very fact that something is being mirrored to you in the Now… by some inner buttons of yours being pushed…  it implies that your larger self has chosen this window of opportunity- ‘You’ have chosen current self to work with this issue too, for the whole self!
