True Mirror

"I see me!" It's sounds kind of silly and obvious, except that what shows up in reverse mirrors really isn't "me", what reflects back from the true mirror is amazingly more alive and in sync.

a little bit further in the video he's looking in the reverse mirror and says "It feels wrong, and I can't make it right".

His "thank you" touches my heart... Watching his video you can see the tremendous emotions that he's going through seeing him self this way

These are the words of someone who is very sensitive and tuned into himself as a human being, and is an example of someone who in spite of his internal work, struggles in the reverse mirror because it's just not accurate... It's wrong.

Everyone is very different and how they respond to seeing themselves for the first time in the true mirror, but his experience is the core I think of what is going on for everyone... The reverse mirror is not really true, it's inaccurate and inauthentic at some levels. And it has impacts that are just quite unknowable, and usually deeply buried in our subconscious. For him to suddenly see his face as being right, it's really me, was a revelation that was incredibly healing for him. For sure this is why I make true mirrors, and really want them to come out in the world.

And these are available on my store, also there's some inexpensive ones on Amazon (RealMe brand only)... Please consider one so that this experience can spread, and more and more people can liberate themselves from whatever constraints their reversed, somewhat inauthentic, reflection has created for them

"I feel like I look more like me!"

The cool thing is both of those are verbs.. feeling and being me, and that's what shows up in the true mirror via our expressions and eye contact. It's just crazy how it dims right away in regular mirrors

It's not a physical thing, she looks the same in both mirrors, but the way she can actually interact is the big difference. And that's where the communication comes in... You simply can't reverse it in order for the communication to well, communicate. Instead that rapid brain perception speed, the reverse version of us shifts, often to being less expressive. And then again just as rapidly, the true version of us springs to life! Beautiful!

"(my eyes) look more human!" What a statement to make ... It's true, our eyes really do look more human, meaning more animated, more lifelike more normal, but in the reverse mirror they just look like eyes.

Another night with a pop-up exhibit in New Paltz. It's always great to show people and every time someone really looks, they can see it. Our face and eyes communicate properly when they're not reversed. It's one of our most beautiful things that we are seen with. And yes something that makes us uniquely human. Seeing it yourself is amazing, not seeing it before that is really questionable. Wtf, it's been going on for all of us

The true mirror and something that I make and sell for this very reason... Accurate and authentic self-communication. I think we can go far with this new perception of ourselves. More info for getting one for yourself as in my bio links Thanks for checking it out and supporting this endeavor! JW 2026

Seeing yourself without reversal enables a whole lot more to be reflected, not just physically, but informationally... The naturalness of being a human shows up, which is where the inner beauty resides and gets expressed outward.

In contrast, the reversal in a regular mirror shifts us towards just the external physicality of our appearance, and it can be really hard to try to find acceptance. A different persona and point of view shows up, and the emphasis/requirement on physical appearance being perfect becomes dominant.

Everyone is different in how they respond to this, but certainly growing up in our current cultural environment, and trying to compete on physicality is almost always going to be troublesome...

But when it's you as a human "being", the addition of your personality plus your appearance brings so much more to the table. This is the way close friends and family see you -- being able to see it yourself puts some of those competitive disadvantages to rest. We all have that potential for inner beauty and presence. Seeing and confirming that in the true mirror, what it looks like and feels like in action...that's the whole point. It's very healing.

Eyes coming alive! What a huge difference it is, and this aliveness just simply doesn't show up when we make eye contact in reverse... They aliveness is information, and it's interactive and dynamic. Reversing garbles that information, and garbles the interaction. When we get to see ourselves in without being reversed in a true mirror, the information stays accurate, the interaction stays natural. The result is this beautiful light in the eyes when we're smiling, genuinely smiling, at ourselves.

What makes a smile genuine is what we're saying with it, matching our internal truth. The thing is you can't really fake a genuine smile, that's an oxymoron. But all of your other expressions are likewise being altered by being reversed, and so even though you are sadness or anger or passion might still reflect in a reverse mirror, there is always a element of alteration going on, which has been feeding your sense of self since babyhood... But that looks like is up to you, and it's all at an unconscious level no less... But the person looking back from you in a mirror simply is not the same as what's real. The genuine smile proves it, but the longitudinal interactivity of all of our expressions over years, through thick and thin, proves it even more

The point of the true mirror is to fix this primary visual interface to ourselves, and to point out how faulty our existing one is. I hope you get to see one soon, you can find them online if you want to bring one of these home so you can begin a new relationship with yourself that has much more to relate to!
