Projection makes perception, and you cannot see beyond it.

Again and again have you attacked your brother, because you saw in him a shadow figure in your private world. And thus it is you must attack yourself first, for what you attack is not in others.

ACIM  T-13.V.3:5-7

Thoughts stained by an emotional past are the building blocks of  individual realities.

Each reality is populated with figures representing  past personal trauma and every reality is different from the other.

The mind is not aware that these people were created by the mind and are not real. They are manifestations of unhealed emotional reactions to actions of others, but do not include their reciprocated reactions.

This world is formed with a biased perspective; therefore, it is deeply flawed.

The delusional relate to their psychotic reality through phantom figures, projections of the self, disguised as others.  

Communicating with imagined people who are not there, completely unaware that it is  the merely the self that replies.

No one outside this reality can verify their existence, for they are perceived in a separate mind.

These are personalities similar to those who inflicted the original pain trigger the recall of a painful memory.

They are immediately judged guilty and perceived as an antagonist triggering  a reaction.

Since all this is taking place solely in your mind, when attacking others you are literally attacking yourself.

Insanity caught in a loop is very problematic, for even though death is not wanted, release of  inner guilt becomes nearly impossible.

Thus, split-minds continue to dwell in their private realities while everything outside their mind remains unrecognizable.

"And so they separate into their private worlds, where everything is disordered, and where what is within appears to be without. Yet what is within they do not see, for the reality of their brothers they cannot recognize." (4:3-4)

Lovely Souls, Our private realities are keeping us prisoners;  we must look within and embrace our innate Peace.
