projecting

[native]

since projections are typically done unconsciously i now find it's best to not point out to some1 that they be projecting bc typically all this is doing is asking for denial & an argument & god knows what else. people are likely often unaware they're projecting for a good reason.

It's certainly an interesting thing, and I believe it's central to what Ra was referring to with indigo state of consciousness (recognition of other as self) and serving in that manner.

The question is, when you notice these things, what is your role and who does the burden rest on?

"Those truly helpless are those who have not consciously chosen but who repeat patterns without knowledge of the repetition or the meaning of the pattern."

This concept of repeating patterns is interesting. When someone projects, it's an unaccepted aspect of self, which means they're still attempting to control something. The more aware we are, the more well-defined our concepts of right and wrong become, resulting in the felt-need to correct and guide others. Yet, we naturally also have/had those faults. So when we notice someone projecting, do we make an observation or simply find amusement in our reflection? As you've noticed, it often simply causes more conflict..and it also seems like it's just repeating the pattern of attempting to control catalyst. Personally I think the burden simply rests on us to see our reflection and that's it. As we learn to become ok with our reflection in the moment, the catalyst should begin to fall away over time.
