Growth is perhaps illusionary itself - it is expansion as we (ego) need/desire it is created.... this begins the thought patterns, habits, formed beliefs, cyclical projections and so on which become the false self and the outer world. |
I was thinking something like this: That the outer world is a projection of what we think is not part of our individual personal oneness. And this is also a classic psychology idea. We project part of ourselves into others by reading between the lines or having a bias in interpreting what people say. What you deny to see in ourselves and don't own, becomes what you expect other people to exhibit. That is part of how we create our objective reality. Objective because there is something else that we pretend is not us. The subjective view would not project so much bias.
