Let’s make this perfectly clear – seeing and believing work together.
There is a fairly widespread myth going around that we see what is there – that our eyes present a true picture of the world around us.
Yet we know from experience with optical illusions that this is not the case. Our eyes often trick us. My question is, “why?”
In a previous post, we discussed projection as it relates to fear. I tend to defend myself from that which I fear in myself by denying its existence and projecting it instead onto others (ex: “You’re the one with the problem!”).
This time, let’s investigate projection as a metaphor delivery vehicle.
As we discussed in that previous post, what I fear at any given moment is projected before me in the image of my perceptions. The answer to the question, “Who am I?” then, may surround me all the time – hidden in plain sight.
