Hi Evelyn,

A great post. I haven’t heard that way of describing it but it makes sense. I love that photo you chose. Did you take that yourself or did you borrow it?

Lance, I am pretty sure that if you see through the eyes of compassion, you will be able to change your perception of things. Thanks for finding resonance with this post!

Hi Evelyn,

I like this perspective of looking down on my life from above. What a position to view life from, and as I’m thinking about this – I’m wondering if what I would be seeing, through eyes of compassion, if that would change my thinking about myself? The more I do think about this, the more I see just how empowering this can be – moving toward a much truer picture of myself. Thank you Evelyn!

Hello Daphne, I’m glad you did. The Meta Mirror model is great for anyone in a relationship conflict or unable to clearly see the situation they are in. I have seen how it has worked in some practical cases! It helps on a conscious level on the setting aside of the ego, short of another post on meditation….LOL!

Take care,
Evelyn

hi Evelyn,

I had problems connecting to this post a couple of days back, and am glad I decided to re-visit. The Meta Mirror concept is much broader than any I’ve come across, and very useful. I like the 5 different views, and previously was aware of only 3, for example “there are always 3 sides to the story – yours, mine and God’s.” So now I have an even better perception. Thanks!

Hi Robert,

I believe that most of us have used the first three positions already to some extent at some point in our lives. It’s the last 2 positions that can really broaden our perception on things! I’m glad that you’ve found the post useful!

Abundance always,
Evelyn

@Sharma, I certainly agree with your statement “What you see what you get”.

@Chris, it’s true that some of us who have more compassionate tendencies tend to forget our own needs. I’m glad that you recognize that you need to assert your own boundaries as well.

@J.D. Meier, this is an NLP technique. Any book should have a write-up on it.

@Patricia, indeed there are a lot of similarities in teachings and more that we ever realize! Thank you for your compliments!

@Kelly, I’m glad to know that similar work performed with your therapist had been helpful. Hmm….it seems like you really need to be in the first position more!

@Jewel/Pink Ink, self absorption can certainly prevent us from seeing things in a bigger picture. We need to stand aside and practice some detachment. Thanks for the wishes!

Thanks for sharing this Evelyn

I’ve used the first three positions successfully many times. Your explanation of the other two adds a valuable new dimension.

Best regards

Robert
