Summary:

To identify is to find similarities rather than differences. Identity is composed of both positive and negative mirrors. Recognizing what is denied does not mean becoming it, but taking the positive aspects. Observing what we reject reveals similarities within ourselves. Before looking within, we must observe the surroundings. Identifying our identity allows us to see the hidden. All is One; polarities are identical.

Exercises:

1. Mirror Meditation: Sit in front of a mirror and observe your reflection. Visualize that you are seeing a mirrored version of yourself, reflecting both what you accept and what you deny. Allow yourself to connect with both facets and reflect on how you could embrace and learn from what you have been denying.
   1. Identity Meditation: Close your eyes and bring your attention to your identity and the roles you play in your life. Observe how you identify with certain aspects and how this affects your interactions with others. Ask yourself if there are parts of yourself that you have been denying and how you could integrate them into your identity more consciously.
