Do you know what you look like?

If you don't even know what you look like -- as other people see you --
how can you expect to know if your belief system is true?

Question: Mirror, Mirror, on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?

 Intro clip from TV show - Charming

Answer: You can't actually know this unless you are literally looking at two mirrors!

When you look at a single mirror your image is backwards (Right to left) . Like this text -

You may have heard about how people are more analytical or creative
based on whether they are left or right brained. Now imagine the brain signaling
that is emphasized or NOT emphasized as a result of seeing
this false image of yourself many times per day.

Feb.7, 2005 - Left-handers have different view (BBC)
Dec.6, 2006 - Left-handers 'think' more quickly (BBC)
 

How you appear in a mirror is not how other people see you!

However, if you hold up the same text in the corner of two mirrors it will be readable. Like this -

We have two brains (halves) - thus, we need two mirrors to see ourselves!

It is similar to when you hear your voice on a tape.
You might think - I don't sound like that. Oh - yes you do.

You will see this "multi-dimensional" way of seeing things - in action - when you begin
to read the Circus of Life poetry and learn about Word DNA.
As well as seeing the metaphors that rule our lives.

So -- Have you ever seen your true self?  Prior to this article or learning about this website
did you even know that a single mirror is not an authentic image of yourself?

NO - YOU PROBABLY HAVE NOT
[Photographs are static, lifeless, and chemically or electronically altered.
Videos are not real time and/or electronically processed.]

Tip: At some higher-end / luxurious hotels or office buildings, you may be able to see your true self by going in an elevator
and looking at the corners of two mirrors there. If you know of an elevator with mirrors on all three
sides - this may be a good place to see this phenomenon for yourself.


Pay attention the next time you see an elevator!

Do-It-Yourself

You may also make your own by buying a frameless mirror - (30cm x 30cm or 40cm x 40cm, 5mm thickness) and holding it at a 90 degree
angle to a bathroom mirror. Have someone help you. Or you may buy two and set them up on a table. Using manual adjustment to get the right image.

Neither of these solutions are as good as the True Mirror noted above, but those are not being sold anymore, and when they were,
they were quite expensive --- unless you appreciate their value --- as Wayne has.

It may be best to find a mirror shop in the Yellow Pages. Where Wayne lives in Medellin, Colombia --
He has been able to buy frameless 40 x 40 mirrors for < US$10.  

....and when your brain "gathers momentum" in making new neuron connections
you will see how so many things are related in ways you never imagined possible.

When you look at the mirror:

If you think you are ugly / don't like it - that (may) mean that you are VAIN about your appearance.
(Vanity takes many forms)

If you think you look better - that means you think you are ugLIEr than you thought -  even though you are not.
(You may be living with too much shame)

If you think it is about right - then your impression of your self is GOOD.
(Though this does not mean you are "GOOD")
