    Dear Maximiliano:

    I too am working on my soul mirrors. The approach that I have chosen is to
    remember particular behaviors. As a (fictitious) example, I might write
    something like the following: "Last month I stole the desert off my wife's
    plate while she was out of the room and then blamed it on the dog." I then
    focus on that anecdotal evidence of a dark trait and try to describe what it
    was about the behavior that I feel was wrong. For example; greed, selfishness,
    dishonesty and so on. But more important than the labels is my recollection of
    how I felt at the time my dark trait surfaced. If (when I grabbed the desert) I
    felt like I was hoarding a treasure then I would characterize this fault as an
    Earth trait. If, on the other hand, I took a perverse pleasure in the
    cleverness of my deception then I would characterize my behavioras an Air
    trait. Do you see what I am getting at?

    I find that sometimes it is hard to name or precisely articulate specific
    traits. By focusing on behavioral anecdotes and the associated inner "feel" of
    the behavior, I am able to sidestep the often confusing problem of naming
    things. So what does my soul mirror look like? Well, instead of greed, anger,
    arrogance, etc., I have things like "Behavior #17, a medium level fault -
    mostly Earth with a touch of Air."

    Caveat: I am too new at this to know if this is a good approach - it was just
    something that developed naturally as I began the work.

    Sincerely, /RM/

    Subject: [BardonPraxis] About the Soul Mirror

    I´m startig the soul mirror for the second time because after speaking to Rawn
    I realized that I just listed down like 200 traits but I wasn´t aware that I
    should look for the "roots"!!
    I have worked with it for two days till I came to realize that I don´t know
    what a root is!
    Can anybody give me an EXAMPLE of how you´ve found a root?
    Can "beliefs" count as a root? example: "money is evil", thos leads to judging
    rich people..etc. In this case is the primary belief the root of the other
    trais??
    If it is, it strikes me that most of our traits are born from our beliefs,
    education. Aren´t they? Should we be looking for this things??
    Thanks
