“Spiritual love never hurts; it is only our narrow, limited expression of ‘human love’ (emotional attachments, projected fantasies, egoic expectations & conditions) masquerading as real love is what brings on the feelings of personal pain & suffering.” ~Anon I mus (Spiritually Anonymous)
In projection, we believe that our relationship problems happen ‘out there’ and it doesn’t even occur to us that we are the source through which we see and judge others. People are the screens which we cast of our egoic projections onto; this is how humans interact with each other. This means that people are not genuinely relating to each other, but rather to their own mental projections.

These are gorgeous.
