There is nothing in the mirror to see. When you look in a glass reflecting 
mirror what you see is not a reflection of what is standing in front of the 
mirror,  rather the judgement hammered home by finally crafted commercials 
designed tell you what you are seeing. Who your soul is has little or nothing 
with the reflection in a piece of glass or a selfie.. 
A more accurate reflection of who we are can be seen online  in programs like 
Google+ or Facebook or twitter.  Each person's social page are a reflection of 
who they are. Look at the mirror of the news you see the true reflection of our 
society. The emphasis on killing  and financial greed..  Where is the acts of 
kindness? I was raised in a christian  oriented  society where is this being 
reflected? 
What I see is people hiding behind corparate skirts thinking they are 
protected. Behind these skirts they violate the morality they claim to have. I 
look at the situation in Greece the question comes to mind are the parties 
involved interested in helping the people of Greece or protecting  their gold.. 
 Oh I forgot they are the high priests of the Golden Calf Cult.

Subject: Mind's Eye issues on the non-reflecting mirror

Allan mentioned that there might be nothing in the mirror to see. 
 Self-recognition in this sense has long been thought specifically human, 
though chimps can do it.  In many ways we live in a smoke and mirror 
society of personal image without depth.  Advertising seems a classic 
example.  Who would want to be an image in this wider mirror?  Gabby said a 
little on the individual sums of history that make the present - very 
Feynman in my reading.  No one is stronger than the man who can harness his 
emotion and his past - very military terminology leading to singing one's 
own death song and dying like a hero.  We have our own fundamentalist 
nonsense.  Good self knowledge is easily perverted to Attic tragedy.  This 
is presumably not what Gabby meant, yet the way most of our literature has 
gone, along with the bubbles of soap.  There are many mirrors in our 
society that do not reflect to direct perception.

Mirrors, in a wider scientific sense, collect the signal in the noise. 
 Sometimes the noise is the signal.  Society seems to have mirrors 
collecting information and sending out something completely other than 
data, a form of extra-somatic mind control.  There may be good reasons not 
to see oneself reflected in this.  Tin foil hats don't seem to help.  The 
skin reflected in the real mirror is more of a block to any real image of 
what we are.  We reflect what is being decided outside self, rather than 
form internal identity in the sense of subjectivity.  The machine is 
already with us.  Consciousness in important ways is no longer human, but 
more like an extra-somatic hall of mirrors.
