Mirror Mirror...

So, just curious guys--

Are any other Starseeds startled by their own reflection? Not that I hate my appearance or anything, but I just... don't really recognize myself. For as long as I can remember I've always felt as though looking in a mirror or at photographs doesn't show who I really am. It's strange! 

I'm wondering if this is caused by forms I've taken in past lives or something. All I know is that no matter how many pictures of myself I see, or how many times I see myself in a mirror, it feels like I'm looking at someone else. 

Anyone else feel this way? :)

Love and light, all!

Mirrors just make me uneasy,in general,always have..even when i was a teenager,and vain like one often is,at that age,or pre-occupied with one's latest zit/hair/real or perceived flaws..i could never spend too much time,cus my own eyes freaked me out..it scared me a bit actualy,like something else was looking into the mirror thru my eyes,same time i did..just freaky,so intense,you know..And i know what you mean,strangely,i had just such a thought pop into my mind the other night-how much of what WE see in a mirror,regarding ourselves,is accurate?..do others see us the way we look to ourself in a mirror?- but i thought i was just being ultra-weird again.To this day i wont have a mirror facing my bed when im going to try and sleep..i always turn mine around at night,lucky its a light cheval-style style mirror.Ive just always had a sense,since i was a small kid,that mirrors can be MORE than just something reflective to check if you look presentable enough.. Love and Blessings, a^i^n.

Yes it does sometimes feel like I am looking at someone else.  And my eyes are almost freakishly black, I recently realized. !!

i noticed that the only times that i feel like i'm seeing _myself_ in a mirror are after i went through somekind of _heavy_ mental stress-situation- in general the times after i processed some very hard insights, had serious interpersonal-relationship talks or something else.

so basically after my ego got crushed once more:)

i think ego could be the thing that seperates us from our environment, from our friends/family/humanity, from ourselves- although it is build up by this factors, and a neccesary need to survive in a society. but to find yourself again it is a must to let go of your ego.

take light for example. just like light can only be seen in its absence (in the darkness), you can only realise yourself within the abscence of your ego...

but thats just my opinion :)

I wouldnt say that my physical reflection changes, but just recently, I have noticed that my eyes have. Not physically, theres just ........something there that wasnt there before.A deepness. A knowing. I cant explain it. But if I look too long into my eyes in a reflection, they scare me.

Any thoughts?

i mean, ofcourse you're right. but you do realize that, every social network structured as it currently is, (including but not limited to) the entire internet is one big ego trip trap, right?

Nope, although I know I am looking to a shell, hiding the true self. ^^

Great discussion! Ever since a little kid I have felt like I havent been looking at myself. Also when staring for long periods I would see someone very different, my skin and eyes are very different. This use to scare me but now I realise I am seeing ME, my true self, beyond human flesh. Actually looking beyond the ego.

DM,I think i get what you mean to say..however,for some of us,like me down here in Africa,its the only way to connect with my Star-relatives,and to glean info,and to share experiences..also,i love reaching out to people,and seeing if i can be of any help to anyone..and yes,it does make me feel good to know i helped some one,thats more a personal thing,a deep need to be of use,to comfort,to ease pain/distress/worry-is that Ego?Propably..tho i have helped folks even when i myself did,nt realy feel up to it,or got any satisfaction from it,when it fact it hurt me in some way to do so,so i dont know..But yeah,i get you,tho,bout social networks in general..To me,it seems there,s an awfuly fine line between self-respect and self-awareness,a healthy self-esteem,and Ego..i actualy dont even understand what folks say when they talk about shedding the Ego..im a very simple down-to-earth person,and i do feel realy dumb sumtimes,bout things like this..i get the impression that just bout everything one does,think,says or feels,can be seen as Ego-driven-so what does one do? Short of killing yourself to escape this shell,conveyance we call a body,and revert to Spiritform? How do you stop being self-aware? and in Spiritform,as the Souls we are at basic form,do we not have self-awareness anyway?..ugh,my brain will start hurting if i carry on along these lines-im gonna just try and be the best i can,and help folks where i can,and if i cannot help,at least harm none,and try to be open to my intuition,and Messages,and try to keep my mind clear of fear,stress,worry and negative thoughtforms..i dont seem equipped for more than that anyway,at this point.
