The Importance of Acknowledgement The mind we first see in our development is the internal state of our caregiver(s). We coo and she smiles, we laugh and his face lights up. So we first know ourselves as reflected in the other. One of the most interesting ideas is that our resonance with others may actually precede our awareness of ourselves. Developmentally and evolutionarily, our modern self-awareness circuitry may be built upon the more ancient resonance circuits that root us in our social world. – Daniel Siegel, Mindsight: The New Science of Personal Transformation.
