From Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Traditional Symbols:
'On looking into one's nature, evil is killed by seeing the horror of its reflection. When evil recognizes itself it destroys itself. The mirror also symbolizes the mind of the sage.' 'Islamic: 'God is the mirror in which thou seest thyself as thou art his mirror. ...The universe is the mirror of God... man is the mirror of the universe.'
Was just thinking about mirroring in hypnosis, wondering if it would work in conflict resolution to subtly mirror the aggression of groups that are losing control, and then shift polarity. Animals seem to do that instinctively when they play-fight, turning potential conflict into something else.
