As a result, <strong>the reflection in the mirror is dominated with things that correspond to the content of the image(your thought form)<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you <strong>take control of the emotions that keep you so attached to the reflection<\/strong>, you free yourself from the mirror. There is no point in trying to suppress your emotions. Your feelings are just a symptom of your relationship to what\u2019s going on.
