There is no struggle,
only the perception of struggle.
There is no fear,
only the perception of fear.
What is before your eyes
is merely a reflection
of what is behind your eyes.
You are projecting —
and everything you project
becomes real to you.
You are projecting,
as ALL are projecting,
the infinite light of the creator
through the infinite lenses
of creation.

An Exploration of Projection and Reality
In these poignant lines, the essence of projection and perception takes center stage. The world around us, the realities we face, and the fears we grapple with are all shaped by our internal states, our beliefs, and the lenses through which we view existence. Our external reality, in many ways, mirrors our internal landscape.
The Illusion of Struggle and Fear
The very notion that struggle and fear are mere perceptions is powerful. It posits that they are constructs of the mind, shadows of beliefs and past experiences. By recognizing them as perceptions, we regain the power to redefine and reshape our reality. The external world, with all its chaos and harmony, is neutral. It is we who color it with our emotions, beliefs, and perceptions.
Reflections of the Inner World
When it is said, “what is before your eyes is merely a reflection of what is behind your eyes,” it draws attention to the profound idea that our external reality is a mirror reflecting our internal state. Our beliefs, fears, desires, and biases paint the canvas of our reality. Everything we witness outside is deeply intertwined with what resonates within.
Projection as Creation
The act of projection is not just an unconscious manifestation of our internal world. It is an active process of creation. By projecting the infinite light of the creator through the unique lenses of our existence, we contribute to the boundless tableau of creation. Each of us, in our own whimsical way, adds to the grand narrawonder of existence.
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We delve into the profound ideas surrounding perception, projection, and creation. Recognizing that our external realities are shaped by our internal landscapes, we come to understand the power of perception. By viewing struggle and fear as constructs, we regain control over our narratives. The act of projection becomes an active creation, where each of us, with our unique perspectives, contributes to the cosmic dance of existence.

Free-Verse Poem
In the quiet spaces between thoughts,
The world unfolds, its stories taught.
Perceptions shift, realities wrought,
In the dance of light, shadows are caught.
Fear and struggle, mere reflections,
Of inner turmoil, past projections.
Yet, in the heart’s pure introspections,
Lie paths to peace, and new directions.
From the core of creation, we cast our light,
Through lenses varied, day and night.
In this whimsiworld, so vast and bright,
We craft our tales, with sheer delight.
How do we perceive our shared projections in this grand cosmic play?
