As within, so without.

We run all our observed stimuli through our own lens, our beliefs & definitions, before deriving meaning.

Don't dismiss everything they say because they are just projecting & also take nothing they say personally. Their perspective can provide valuable insight that may be hidden from your perception.

At their core, they are an an aspect of the whole, of yourself, seen through a unique lens. Their perspective is legitimate but it is coloured by the lens it is passed through.

One must strive for balance & internal coherence. This is achieved through integration & not seperation.
