Comparing the True Mirror to the Backwards Mirror

John Walter again talks about why the True MIrror is so amazing - allowing one to see themselves with expressions intact and working the way they are supposed to. It may be uncanny, even an "uncanny valley" to see yourself this way, but its so much better to be on this side of the valley!

Everybody gangsta till the true mirror starts to talk back

🤣🤣🤣

True mirrors are something we need to normalize. It probably make us groom better

[@friedrichnietzsche2386]

Exactly what I was thinking ,if scientists have found out that the image we see in normal everyday mirrors are not how we actually look like then they should have made this news popular, I wonder why only few people share about the true mirrors. I will buy one when I get money, so that I can look better

[@mtmarrowthegamer6079]

Yes but they cost 300 dollars or something..

[@human.imagination]

I just bought one for $50 on Amazon.

If u look good to normal mirror we look better to real mirror

[@khadiyahthomas2235]

Saw myself through a true mirror at the museum of illusion and first thing I said was wow I’m kind of tall lol 5’7 but I’ve never seen it in retrospect of how others see me. Plus I felt I looked so different. Strange & cool!

[@arashairshiraz1046]

i love true mirror.because i dont like to start my day with a huge lie .a stupid reflection of myself not a true one.

[@Daddyvader7]

It’s still you. It’s just reversed. You still look exactly how people see you as. It’a just reversed so if you look good reversed you look good unreversed

[@johnwalter8139]

Yes, that's the point ...we change from our natural self to an altered self the second we make eye contact. It's more than physical, it's how we interact and think we are doing...what mirrors tell us may not be a full lie, but it's definitely not true. How we deal with this is then embedded in our self-image in a fundamental, and imo, an inherently unhealthy way. Our truth as our being-Ness is so much more than what mirrors show us

[@harajukujackie107]

Truly a spiritual experience I need one so bad

[@katherinegeorge4945]

I watched Shallow Hal one day and after I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror and I looked beautiful like I was seeing my inner beauty.

[@SkelNeldory]

So a true mirror is one that flips the image to show you a clone of yourself and a backwards mirror is a literal reflection of reality. I can see why some people get so uncomfortable with a normal mirror, reality is tough.

[@TrueMirrorJWalter]

Hi Skel, not sure which mirror you are talking about...the "normal" mirror for most people is the reversing one, but I think that it is quite unnatural and not normal at all. And everyone is so different with themselves in mirrors - some are very comfortable, some say it tortures them, some dont even look at themselves except to fix themselves physically. The True Mirror is much closer to reality, although the perception one has can take some time to normalize and become the preferred mirror. The most unfortunate thing is that our perception is skewed by our minds trying to match the "burned in" reversed image (like a computer monitor with the same image) with the slightly different non-reversed image...asymmetries that are minor and not really seen suddenly are doubled and highly visible because they are going the other way. But true too, reality is tough, and when it is, the True Mirror can be highly empathetic compared to the reversed mirrors, mainly because our feelings are accurately portrayed. It's the strangest thing in the world that everyone is used to a self-reflection that masks our feelings...literally...because our expressions are not accurately portrayed, we interact with ourselves in a different way than reality, often staring/glaring/doubting at ourselves instead of communicating with ourselves naturally Thus we are usually so much more critical of ourselves in mirrors than our friends might be with us, because our friends see our humanity through our troubles. So too, the True Mirror can do this as well, becoming an ally through both hard times, and a joyful and authentic celebration during the good times. But no question, it takes some time and work to walk through the uncanny valley that seeing yourself in this new way represents.

[@jpquinones]

i just realized that the image in the true mirror is the best example of 2nd person point-of-view

[@JustJC5]

It instantly gives me a confidence boost

[@dutaniagara1]

Came here from your reels. However I was even more attracted to the way you talk. You sound exactly like Dr. Brian Weiss, the author of Many Lives Many Masters, whose videos I have been using to guide me on meditations. I wish you to keep doing what you’re doing, Sir ☺️☺️☺️

[@johnwalter8139]

Thanks, I'll have to look him up!

[@PastProudCanadian]

What about a true mirror could possibly be so advanced or require such technology that these mirrors sell for $400-$5,000 dollars!? Is it not just a box with mirrors?

[@louisskulnik7390]

He took it, flipped it, but did NOT reverse it. This is key.

[@lashimba]

This is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing

[@Twhs413]

Yeah thanks so much I was in my Camara and my mirror I looked awful true mirror helped me.

[@YoungWildAndPopping]

I’m just curious abt this question that I was thinking of for a really long time. I’ve tried to put two mirrors together and looked at the centre of the mirror where I could see my true self, are the sides of the mirrors also accurate? (the sides where I actually can’t make eye contact but I could still see it reversed idk kinda confused if those sides are true or not)

[@johnwalter8139]

It's the center only that's true, though u need first surface mirrors to really be able to make eye contact

[@kd2533]

Wow you look alive in the true mirror and much better! I noticed with my son brushing his teeth one night, I looked at his face then looked at his reflection. A reversed standard mirror reflection is flatter, duller and less alive that he looks in real life.

[@TrueMirrorJWalter]

its really happening to all of us, especially as kids, where we learn about who we are, and how we are, partially based on what we see in the reversing mirror. And as a parent, you can see the difference in the child, but the child has no reference - hes never seen himself in action, with bright eyes and expressions. When i have shown the true mirror to children, they engage with themselves more, but unfortunately don't turn to you and say - "hey i like this me more..." again because they dont really have the way to compare. I think at about 9-12 that's when kids start comparing themselves to others, and the mirror version of them comes up short. pretty sad state - we all enter adolescence and adulthood with this constant filter over our true nature.

[@ashleyriosrizo]

This feels like a spiritual discovery. Were we made to not be able to see our true selves? Will I be afraid when I look in a true mirror?

[@TrueMirrorJWalter]

It kind of is a new spiritual discovery along with just normal humaness discovery. I think most people have to work with this a bit to get comfortable, but once you do, there's a whole lot of authentic you to discover for yourself. Def part of our spirituality

[@vickypolychronou6215]

Dude this is bullshit... I'm sorry but it is. You look the same in both cases, just get a friend or a family member and sit them in front of a mirror... Look at them through the mirror and then look straight at them. There's no damn difference. Flipped or not we look the same. Doesn't matter if your face is asymmetrical or not. You will probably notice some difference in yourself if you flip the image because it's not what you are used to seeing but the longer you look at it the sooner you'll realize that it's the same.

[@igordmit1471]

Спасибо ! Это очень нужная вещь! Всё остальные зеркала в мире врут !

[@sweetiepeach69]

That's why I always use frontal cameras as mirrors, but it is still lens-distorted 🤭

[@joshmontez7982]

Interesting both look like you and you can clearly tell it’s the same person but like you said the true mirror looks so real like your actually seeing somebody talking and expressing themselves whereas the regular mirror doesn’t show this

[@johnwalter8139]

And the thing is, we have long ago accepted this as normal...it's only when you can see the difference does it show up and make you say "what???"

[@joshmontez7982]

@@johnwalter8139 yea for sure it really is amazing how the brain works because I’ve been using the Snapchat camera for awhile and it is automated mirror self image picturing unlike regular iPhone cameras so it’s flipped on the cameras and I thought I looked so different and hated it but the more and more I looked at the pictures that weren’t mirror imaged I stopped looking at it weird that’s why I’d love to get a true mirror

[@TriumphExcellent]

Dude I think y'all should find something better to do with ur time okay no offense but did you see that the "true mirror" isn't different from the ordinary image? I think ppl can't just let things be the way it is 🤦regardless of everything 9/10 everything the mirror show you about ur look is correct it doesn't matter how ppl see you 🤦in this video the man used both mirrors and he still looked the same so I don't just know why y'all can't just relax if u don't look good in picture get a better camera with good light and angle you'll get the same image don't let any vid fool you " mirror reflect"

Honestly I really do not see a difference. I love to look in my mirror. I always get a great deal of self esteem from my mirror image. Then I take a selfie. Ugh! Lol!

[@TrueMirrorJWalter]

photos are static and rarely capture our best look., which is a flow. But i think if you already love your mirror image, you can deepen that love with more of your personality intact within the True Mirror

[@noideaatallsorry]

Wtf… all you need to do is put two mirrors together and look at urself lol…

[@johnwalter8139]

The key difference that I created is having the image seamless...it's key to be able to make eye contact and interact w yourself. Two reg mirrors will always have a distracting seam going thru both eyes

[@tonyagilbert]

Maybe it's my ADHD and I just like the simple mindedness but this is a bit far fetched. It's the same thing just reversed... There's no true self... It's just backwards... And to be honest when looking in the true mirror it messes up my ADHD cuz the direction I'm moving is backwards and I hate it. Marketing for this is completely silly.

[@davidal00]

I don’t understand any of this and it just sounds like a cult leader attempting to recruit followers to purchase a mirror.

[@lookatmr.lipkiss3349]

Go to the selfi camera settings and reverse image toggle on off to get true mirror 🪞

Doesn’t really work like that.
