Everyone is a mirror. Some people know it. Most people don't. Without awareness, people think what they see in the world & in others is really there. Sometimes it is - many times it's not. One must understand that we can only see & understand things at the level of awareness we are at. Projection, which is almost like a stamp so-to-speak, in the sense that 'you're stamping someone else with your belief.' Take for example when you go into a situation to meet a good friend's new partner. Maybe the things you've heard so far from mutual friends are not good, so you go into it thinking 'they're rotten.' So as the evening ensues .. is the person really "rotten" or did you stamp them with that before ever meeting them? Cuz if you did then you did not see them the way they really are, you only saw them the way you thought they were. Get it? That little sentence is responsible for so many of the misunderstandings in our world, big & small. We must learn to mind our mind. Positive self-talk is crucial. Being aware of your self-talk is even more crucial. Excerpt from "Mindfulness" by Evan Kim.
