How do concepts of the shadow vs the mirror interact? When I see other people act in XYZ ways & I judge them, I am probably seeing a mirror of my shadows in them. To work through my shadows, the universe will keep showing me more & more mirrors, I.e people who exhibit behaviors that I truly need to conquer & work on.

It’s kind of mind-blowing how the things that trigger us in others are often reflections of parts of ourselves we haven’t fully accepted yet.

Interesting. Can you explain a bit more what you mean by ‘shadow’ please?

Yes Sophia! Shadows are parts of ourselves that we repress. It could be anger, shame, laziness, jealousy etc. but if we keep denying these parts of ourselves, our judgement of these same parts in others grows stronger and stronger

Thanks for explaining this! I’ve heard this expression so many times and never fully understood it! 🙏
