Speaking of illusions, remember this one?

Going back to this now, I find that I can make her switch directions with greater ease. Particularly if I glance away for a moment, or just close my eyes. I can visualize in my mind which direction I wish to see when I look again. Or think of nothing, and just hope to be surprised by “random” change.
I seem to be succeeding at “mind-melting” a bit. This is deliberate work, not as dodgy as it seems at first.
Now look in a mirror. What do you see? Yourself? What if it’s YOU in the mirror, and someone else outside looking in? Or are there two of you? Is this crazy, or a waste of time? It depends.
Is your mind in the mirror, at least? Can there be a connection between outside and inside, possibly? Can this simple experiment lend itself to any “energy work”?
If you’ve already worked on balance and transitions, what else can you do to make it a more taiji day? The answer might be right in front of you. Or even me. Or the other that is the same.
