Very simply ..
The principle of the mirror is that if YOU are the one to react
to what another says or does .. then that is your issue ..
If you can look on the other with compassion and see
that's just the way the other is .. without any reaction on your
part, then this aspect of the mirror does not necessarily apply.
The principle I have found very effective is ..
first time something comes to me .. I just notice it
second time same thing comes .. Oh Oh .. maybe I'd better
take this a little more seriously
third time .. better do something about it
because the next time it'll probably be beyond my control.
Now .. if the neighbors dog is continually crapping on my lawn ..
I look at the reflection .. what does lawn represent to me .. what does
dog represent to me .. who is the I that is getting crapped on ..
and what am I doing to attract it to me ..
then having resolved these issues within myself, I have a talk to myself
first .. then the neighbors dog .. result .. no more crap.
Try it .. it works .. did for me and a whole lot of others ...
What we attract to ourselves
is a reflection of what we are
putting out ..
whether we are conscious of
our projections or not.
In most cases, we are not.
This is the mirror principle.
When we find peace totally
within self, then and only then
are we at peace with the world.
does this help ..?
