Michael LeBeuf

… and your perceptions and beliefs are like fog or smoke or dust that can also obscure your true reflection
- He had discovered that he was a mirror for the rest of the people, a mirror in which he could see himself. “Everyone is a mirror,” he said. He saw himself in everyone, but nobody saw him as themselves. And he realized that everyone was dreaming, but without awareness, without knowing what they really are. They couldn’t see him as themselves because there was a wall of fog or smoke between the mirrors. And that wall of fog was made by the interpretation of images of light – the Dream of humans. Don Miguel Ruiz
- Then he knew that he would soon forget all that he had learned. He wanted to remember all the visions he had had, so he decided to call himself the Smokey Mirror so that he would always know that matter is a mirror and the smoke in- between is what keeps us from knowing what we are. He said, “I am the Smokey Mirror, because I am looking at myself in all of you, but we don’t recognize each other because of the smoke in-between us. That smoke is the Dream, and the mirror is you, the dreamer. Don Miguel Ruiz
- We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe. Miguel Angel Ruiz
- The fault is in the mirror that reflects, the mind that perceives, the brain that infers. What the mirror presents as true has no authenticity. The mirror is coated with dust and its face is not plain at all. God has no maya; He has no intention or need to delude, nor does He will that it should happen. Sri Sathya Sai Baba

- Our relationships are our sacred responsibilities, for they are the framework within which life is lived. They show us where we have more learning and loving to do. Our interactions with others call up the disabling beliefs and negative patterns of behavior we need to release—the cynicism, anger, resentment, and jealousy that block love’s flow. Our relationships are our mirrors; they reflect where we are in consciousness. And if we are willing to face the truth about ourselves, our relationships offer the lessons that lead to our greatest transformation. Susan L. Taylor
- Relationships keep us honest. They provide the mirrors necessary to see and know ourselves. Matthew Kelly
- Your partner is your mirror. Except for the way you perceive him, he doesn’t even exist for you. Byron Katie

- Our relationships are our mirrors; they reflect where we are in consciousness. And if we are willing to face the truth about ourselves, our relationships offer the lessons that lead to our greatest transformation. Susan L. Taylor

.
Be a mirror for those you love, reflecting their worth back to them …

- It is an absolute human certainty that no one can know his own beauty or perceive a sense of his own worth until it has been reflected back to him in the mirror of another loving, caring human being. John Joseph Powell

Be truly yourself, not someone else’s mirror
- Through assertiveness we develop contact with ourselves and with others. We become real human beings with real ideas, real differences…and real flaws. And we admit all of these things. We don’t try to become someone else’s mirror. We don’t try to suppress someone else’s uniqueness. We don’t try to pretend that we’re perfect. We become ourselves. We allow ourselves to be there. Randy Paterson
.
Seek not approval from others for approval is a house of mirrors
- You can’t control someone else’s thinking. You can’t even control your own. There’s no one thinking anyway. It’s a house of mirrors. Seeking approval means being stuck in the thought “I’m a this,” this little speck, this limited thing. Byron Katie
.
Try the mirror technique when listening to the words of another
- Try repeating the words that someone is saying to you. This mirroring technique can keep both the speaker and the listener ‘centred’ in a difficult conversation, especially when the attitude of the person doing the mirroring is to gain understanding of a different point of view. Clare Albright, Psy.D.
.
Your judgements of another are a mirror reflecting your own faults |
.
The faults we see in others are a mirror of our own

.
Use the criticism of others to polish your mirror
- The Sufi poet Rumi wrote, “Your criticism polishes my mirror.” If you understand who you are and respect yourself, you will not see criticism as a problem but as an opportunity to become a better person. When you feel inadequate or imperfect, the criticism is threatening and makes you feel that you have to defend yourself. When you are secure–not perfect, but secure–you can listen to the criticism and consider its value. You can say, “I’m sorry.” And “thank you for polishing my mirror,” and when it is appropriate you can learn from the criticism and improve your behaviour. I say when it is appropriate because there are some people who love to find fault in others. That is their problem. Bernie Siegel
- Criticism

… free of the house of mirrors of the ego
- The world of the ego is like a house of mirrors through which the ego wanders, lost and confused, as it chases the images in one mirror after another. Human life is characterized by endless trials and errors to escape the maze. At times, for many people (and possibly for most), the world of mirrors becomes a house of horrors that gets worse and worse. The only way out of the circuitous wanderings is through the pursuit of spiritual truth. David R. Hawkins

Look in the mirror and see the beauty in you …
- Girls of all kinds can be beautiful — from the thin, plus-sized, short, very tall, ebony to porcelain skinned, the quirky, clumsy, shy, outgoing and all in between.

… and don’t allow your mistakes to obscure your view
- But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable…. If we all hold on to the mistake, we can’t see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can’t see what we’re capable of being. Maya Angelou
.
When you look in the mirror, see the true self there – the Spirit, not the ego
- I suggest that the more you are able to see, love, and accept the one facet of Spirit gazing at you from the mirror, the more you will be able to love Spirit within others. If we are the same awareness shining through a billion separate forms, then all love begins with self-love. For the heart to awaken, it cannot exclude a single soul, including yourself. If you do not love yourself, how can you find the space to love others? Dan Millman
- When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see the real you, or what you have been conditioned to believe is you? The two are so, so different. One is an infinite consciousness capable of being and creating whatever it chooses, the other is an illusion imprisoned by its own perceived and programmed limitations. David Icke
- Look in the mirror and one thing is sure: what we see is not who we are. Richard Bach

Look in the mirror and tell yourself you’re going to achieve your dream

.
Look in the mirror and see the only person who can bring you true fulfilment
- We wait all these years to find someone who understands us, I thought, someone who accepts us as we are, someone with a wizard’s power to melt stone to sunlight, who can bring us happiness in spite of trials, who can face our dragons in the night, who can transform us into the soul we choose to be. Just yesterday I found that magical Someone is the face we see in the mirror: It’s us and our homemade masks. Richard Bach
- Fulfilment
