'Projection' Articles
What’s my secret? Engaging life. I don’t like to live bits and pieces of my life, thus my filters or projections are very broad and I tend to pick up a lot. There are two components for every situation, you have the event and your opinion of the event and projection is quite natural. Projection is projection of your state of mind. We all project energy and we interpret the energy coming to us. The key is knowing.
“The youth, intoxicated with his admiration of a hero, fails to see, that it is only a projection of his own soul, which he admires” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Everyone wants happiness; nobody wants to suffer. Many problems around us are a mental projection of certain negative or unpleasant things. If we analyze our own mental attitude, we may find it quite unbearable. Therefore, a well-balanced mind is very useful and we should try and have a stable mental state.” Dalai Lama
Impact of Projection
Projection and how it impacts our lives. It isn’t as simple as pop psychology would have people see it, and it gets flung around too casually. It winds up being like the pot calling the kettle black, and few heed the old aphorism; Remove the timber in your own eye before trying to remove the cinder from another’s. There are two components for every situation, you have the event and your opinion of the event. We have what the world brings to us, and we have what we bring to the world. When a problem arises, the bigger part of… Seek More
How do you Project?
Projection is quite natural, and by projection I mean projection of your state of mind. Ever notice when you are actively engaging someone in conversation you tend to imitate their body language without thinking about it? In the case of a community some of those states are viral. You can tell when someone is “not from around here”. They don’t have the group projection. If someone says “I don’t project on anything” they lie or are very naïve. In fact it is a delusion. You can translate any event only to the degree you project on it. If you have… Seek More
Interactive Projection
We all project energy, and we interpret the energy coming to us to make sense of it like a bats sonar. The other being does the same. For me the process of projection is primary data not secondary, like senses are to you. In the case of two individuals; you project onto them, they project onto you. There is an interplay of energy, a.k.a. communication even if words aren’t spoken. So the less filters we have between the energy coming to us and our awareness the better? No I wouldn’t say that. I have other problems and tend to need help… Seek More
Best and Worst Projection
What are the worst projections people do? Fear is very virulent, and it isn’t instinctive. We warp our own natures for the sake of fear. Fear of rejection, it creates rejection. Fear of failure, it creates failure. Fear is an obsessive (I dare say psychotic) focus on bad. You don’t avoid bad things by thinking on them excessively, you just trade one set of bad things for another. You have to see good to receive good, and when you receive good you realize that you aren’t actually receiving anything. It was already there. This brings peace I find. Best things… Seek More
Dream Projection
What do you see when you dream at night? Not the days events in a factual way, but your projections onto life. Dream is caused from intelligence not being able to sleep. Intelligence isn’t able to sleep because it doesn’t need to and intelligence projects. Your projections dictate your actions which dictate your future, and you are aware if not directly that people project onto you. This is why we assume roles, and we know where those will take us. So our dreaming mind does a remarkable job of synthesis, and voila we have predicted the future. Couldn’t dreams be… Seek More
Projecting and Relationship
People project onto us and we assume roles. Young people tend to worry a lot about things they shouldn’t. Thus who has had a smooth third decade? Seems to me stories of that are rare to non existent. In their twenties, who doesn’t have some comedy of errors to relate at least, if not a tale of tragedy. Then we project onto our children. Do you see yourself as limited and frustrated even in those small successes? I’m a father myself and raised my own son till he was eight. I know how it is, and am not going to… Seek More
Honest Leaders
The best leaders don’t want the leadership positions we have projected onto them and with good reason. They resist the predetermined role. They realize that doing that for the people will help little or not at all. We project onto them a role that requires them to ‘spin’ even though we say we don’t like it. We don’t allow our leaders integrity. It is a weak system and it is a matter of numbers. It doesn’t matter how strong the leader if no one will follow, or how honest if no one will listen. That is not strength, it is… Seek More
If I Were Wealthy
I have to live with myself. They call me autistic, and it is why I act so strange and why I feel like I’m crazy. I did for the longest time. Fought it. It isn’t fun, but one set of questions I have never had; Who am I really?, What do I want?, How do I feel? These I already know, and always know whether I want to or not. There are friends and my intimate other who know my motives well enough, and I don’t seem so strange to them. Reality is really a very broad thing. I see… Seek More
You Have No Reason?
Your actions are based on your thoughts and feelings. I always thought it was strange to say, “You have no reason …” It is a very strange statement. You may have no reason from their point of view, but you don’t live from their point of view. Your reasons are your own, and you live and think and act from inside you. The action, then the thought about the action, or vice versa? The thought about the action usually comes first. Though not well considered and subconsciously processed. Example. You pick up a spoon. You determined to pick up the… Seek More
