Thanks for sharing this list, John. You wrote ‘never judge or criticize another, you see in them a reflection of yourself.” I found this very interesting as I have been reading several books by Debbie Ford relating to this mirroring. In the book she discusses how we all have a shadow side, consisting of a sort of mask we use to hide away things about ourselves we subconsciously feel bad about or wish to repress. Usually, the irritating things about others are actually aspects of ourselves we are denying. And it can work the same way with pleasant things too. Anyway, if we are criticising people we have no time to love them, as Mother Theresa said.
One of the most valuable things I am learning is surrender. Letting go of resistance and just going with the flow. It makes a hell of a difference.
Thanks, again, for sharing.

You’re most welcome, Sarah.
I agree with you–the mirror effect works both ways. As Deepak Chopra said, “The traits we see most clearly in others exist most strongly in ourselves.”
Sarah Drury
Great quote, very apt. Actually the film I saw several days ago featured Deepak Chopra, Debbie Ford and Marianne Williamson investigating the shadow effect which involves this mirroring. The film is called The Shadow Effect, it’s fascinating and I would highly recommend it. 🙂

Thanks again, Sarah.

Hi Sarah,

Hi Barbara 🙂
Yes, the film is available as a streamed movie here:
http://www.hayhouse.com/details.php?id=5007&ref=78
You’ll have to register with Hay House and there is a $7.95 fee to watch the movie. But its well worth it.
There’s also a great book that goes alongside. Its called ‘The dark side of the light chasers’ by Debbie Ford and is available here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dark-Side-Light-Chasers-Reclaiming/dp/0340819057/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1361136095&sr=8-1
If you decide to watch the movie I’d love to know what you think.

You are as big as the concepts you can perceive. That doesn’t mean you comprehend or understand them. The joy and growth are in the attempts to do so.
Thank You, John, for the list and the reminders !!
