We are all each other's mirrors~!
So how we view each other and the world really says a lot about how we view oursleves. If we stalk this, we can learn a lot about ourselves, and thus can heal parts of ourselves that maybe we didn't fully realize needed healing.
Psychological projection is a defense mechanism where a person unconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then
ascribed to the outside world, such as to other people. Thus, projection
involves imagining or projecting the belief that others have those feelings.
Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.
An example of this behavior might be blaming someone else
for self failure. The mind may avoid the discomfort of consciously
admitting personal faults by keeping those feelings unconscious, and by
redirecting satisfaction by attaching, or "projecting," those
same faults onto another person or object.
Remember that we are all mirrors for each other. And if we remember that, we can learn a great many lessons.
In Mayan tradition there is a greeting that many people working with
Mayan wisdom know of. It is In Lak'ech. We understand In Lak'ech to mean
I am another yourself (A modern day interpretation) and also means I am
you, and You are me (A traditional Mayan interpretation) We have come
to understand that this Mayan greeting is an honoring for each other and
a statement of unity. In Lak'ech mirrors the same sediment of other
beautiful greetings such as Namaste for East India and Wiracocha for the
Inca. In Lak'ech is
more than an honorable Maya greeting. It is a moral code. It is a way
to live, not only with human beings, but with ALL forms of life in our
cosmos!
Good to remember~!
