A Quote by Mevlana Jelalu'ddin Rumi on faults and projection

Many of the faults you see in others, dear reader,
are your own nature reflected in them.

Yes!
And the more they bother us, the more likely they are our own reflections ;-)

I have been increasingly seeing all “therapeutic” interventions as gifts of “reflection”:
- neurofeedback as brain mirroring itself
- coaching and therapy as mirroring client “content”
- mindfulness and similar meditations as self-mirroring
- and on it goes…seeing reflections allows Shift to happen
