Hi Vovin,

Thanks for the thoughts, they were helpful. The reason I started redoing my
mirror was because it was too general like you say. It could have been
anyone's mirror because just writing down anger for example doesn't say much
about my personality as such. So I'm trying to delve deeper and see how I
personally relate to those "general" traits. It's quite interesting how that
make you look at yourself subjectively and in a way disassociate from the
self you are. It reminds me of the Tipheret self in the 8TM, I'm finding the
soul mirror work very enriching.

Best wishes,
Vania
