1/5 Super cool meetup with Dave Rabin Dave Rabin today. He is a neuroscientist and psychiatrist, author of "A Simple Guide to Being Alive" . He also has a practice with psychedelic therapy, which figured later in our wife ranging conversation.
We started with his experience of seeing himself for the first time with active and emotional content in his face and eyes. This is the key difference. It truly is such a remarkable experience for me to see it every time. It's literally the light of recognition, seeing what is there to see: Who they are being via their expressive nature, way more dynamic than the low expressive unreal version that shows up in reverse mirrors. In seconds and constantly. Eye contact is that strong.
Part 1 is about him seeing his light, reminding himself of the boy inside that he's cultivated a good relationship with (that is his work after all!), and beautifully, he recognized that easily in the true mirror. There's a lot of benefits to healing what's going on with our inner child internally, and it seemed clear that the true mirror could be useful in helping that along. Really simple idea: seeing is believing...and if we see the light in our own eyes, the light of joy, of awe, of love, of excitement, and all the other reasons for light to be there, seeing any or all of it it supports our self image and self relationship. That light in the eyes shows up so well when reversal isn't garbling the message
Part 2 we explore how this ties in with his work, which is about how we have the ability to heal ourselves, and finding or creating tools to do that There's probably another three parts to post in our 20-minute conversation, I hope you'll look for them. The full conversation will go up on YouTube.
