“To know your mind,
you need a little distance.
You need to be a step or two away
and be able to notice
what your mind is doing
without being so lost or involved in it
that you can’t see it.
It’s like trying to see your eyes.
If you want to see yourself,
you need to create some space,
you need a mirror.
Stillness, mindfulness, meditation:
these are the mirrors.”
Eric Overby, Legacy

“We reflect each other as mirrors do, but there is no need to look at mirrors that distort our reflection.”

“....a tirade against Paolo Sorrentino’s film The Great Beauty........It struck me.
But what struck me even more was what happened a few months later, when I finally saw the film and, at the same time, got to know him better. And I realized he was exactly one of the characters Sorrentino had portrayed: obsessed with appearances, caught up in social rituals, incapable of deep desire. A man tired on the inside, moving through the world like an actor on a stage with no more script.

That’s when I understood: it wasn’t the film that had disturbed him.
It was the reflection it had given him.
He had recognized himself — and that had frightened him.

That kind of fear that makes you say: “How dare you judge me?” when in reality, no one has judged you.
You’ve simply seen yourself.
And sometimes, seeing ourselves is far more unsettling than being seen.”
Pierenrico Gottero, The Island of What Could Have Been: Back to the Middle Lands
