'Oh wad
some power the giftie gie us
To see oursel's as others see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us,
And foolish notion.' Robert Burns, 1796

From prehistoric times,
people have only seen themselves reflected backwards. As it turns out, the
backward images we see and interact with everyday are profoundly different from
what is real. No wonder we are so often off in our self-evaluations compared
with how others see us!
A True Mirror does not reverse images. That is, if you hold
writing up to it, you can read what the writing says. In it, you see yourself
as you really are. It is something few people have ever seen before.
A True Mirror is
surprisingly more than a simple novelty item. We are excited to introduce it as
a new doorway to a great world of self-discovery and enlightenment.
The introspective use of the True Mirror can be an important boost
towards your own self-acceptance and greater self-esteem. This happens by
authenticating your own actual image and expressions as you exist in real life,
and as you are seen by everyone else.
The incorrect view of yourself you see in a traditional mirror can
be major source of self-doubt and self-criticism - simply because it is not the
"real you" when your eyes meet in the mirror. How can you understand
yourself when there is such distortion?
We've discovered some fascinating aspects of human nature that
arise when people see their true appearance. Many people continue to be amazed
at the ways that they respond to a True Mirror -- everything from sheer "this
is the most amazing thing - I love it!" delight, to "I'm
scared of the real me!" fear, to "what are you talking about?
I don't see any difference!" indifference. It is an interesting litmus
test of how a person relates to their own self-image, to others, to images in
general, and to the concept of their inner self.
The precision with which we make the True Mirror allows a new personal
view of yourself. It is unlike anything you have ever seen before!
·
The "real you" is present before you -- much
clearer, and cleaner than if you try to communicate with yourself
"backwards."
·
Your ability to understand yourself is greatly enhanced,
using our mirror as a tool for introspection and self-discovery.
·
Your mirror image can be seen to be much friendlier,
authentic and empathetic than you might have thought before.
We think this becomes an important boost
towards your own self-acceptance and self-esteem, as well as removing a major
source of self-doubt and criticism.
What you may see looking into a True
Mirror is often a little overwhelming, but for the serious student of the self,
that image is worth exploring further. There are some key physical adjustments
that are needed to resynchronize our eyes so we can see our faces as level and
generally symmetric. Usually it takes about a few weeks of looking into the
True Mirror before adjustments are automatically made by our minds. At that point,
the more useful features of the True Mirror can be realized fully.
At the True Mirror Company, we believe
deeply that most people will prefer their true image -- it is much more natural
and real than the reverse one. We've got a lot more to say about our mirrors!
