THE “PERCEPTION IS PROJECTION” GAME Print

This game I am proposing changes your universe.  It’s portable, simple to use and it’s empowering.   Play it and you can liberate the joy from within.  It gets to the heart of your problems with others so that long-standing issues can be cleared. 

“Perception is projection,” means that whatever you perceive to be outside yourself is - on some level - within you.  Jung summarised this when he said, “you marry your unconscious mind and then spend the rest of your life projecting out onto it”.  Whatever you don’t like about someone else mirrors some behaviour within yourself, which you are not yet fully aware of. 
The “Creator Laboratory” (higher dimensional levels of Divine Creation) cleverly designed and hardwired these programs to run 24/7 into your system because you find it difficult to really see yourself.   It’s easier to see faults in someone else.  Bringing unconscious behaviours and projections back to yourself changes your reality and enables you to pierce through illusions.
Change within and notice the outside world change.  You have already clocked how differently the world and people appear when you have a bad day, compared to how it all sparkles when you fall in love.
Whether we are conscious of our behaviours or not, we are the creator of our world.  The Master knows this. This knowing, being responsible for our reality, raises a student’s stature.
It is easy to measure success in this game. The person pressing your buttons will appear to act differently. In the same circumstances, your buttons won’t continue to get pressed.

If you trade-in your partner because “it was all their stuff” and you don’t change inside, your next partner will have the same behaviours. Self meets self, time and time again, until we get the message.  You can sometimes sort out your problems and differences with your partner by bringing all your projections into conscious awareness and changing them within yourself.  The relationship may then flourish without counselling.

What can happen when you bring it back to self is that you can judge yourself unmercifully.  Put the big stick away.  Everyone has issues--- you wouldn’t be here otherwise. 
Planet Earth is a school of learning.  We land here each with our own combination of “subjects” to graduate from.  There is no right or wrong in this game, only behaviours we choose to keep or let go of. 

“There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so.  We see the world not as it is, but as we are” Shakespeare


The Game:
 
1.    Think of a situation in which someone is pressing your buttons. 
2.    Describe their behaviour.
3.    How is that behaviour present in you? Be honest.
4.    How would you like them to behave with/towards you?
5.    How can you be an example of that within yourself?

The last step of the game means actually changing your behaviour.  The conscious awareness of how the behaviour plays out inside will get the ball rolling.  Making the decision to change the undesirable trait will often change everything around you.  Yet sometimes we need to work a little harder.  There is plenty of professional help available if you are stuck. 
Start with the little things.  You will always be able to find the projections within yourself.  If you are having trouble finding an unconscious behaviour, put it out to the universe and wait for the answer to appear in your consciousness.   It might take a few days and then, while in the middle of something, the penny will drop. 

Your subconscious mind runs most of your behaviours without you being aware of it. It goes from how you love and the money you make, to how you clean your teeth.  Most habits come from doing something once, usually at a young age, in a past life, or they can be passed on genealogically. We then keep running them on autopilot ever after.  The game uncovers the behaviours that aren’t serving you so you can choose new pathways. It’s liberating and enlightening. It expands your conscious awareness.

Projections are holographic. For example, you may see an issue in someone at work, which might mirror how you interact with your family at home.  The person who is pressing your buttons might be doing something that you only consider doing.   Energetically there is no difference between thought and deed.
An issue you might think you have dealt with can come up again.  This may mean the projections might also need to be addressed on other levels.  I had to address issues on the physical, emotional, mental and finally the spiritual level.

Sometimes our biggest “button presser” might be a mirror for many issues.  When you wrote your life script in heaven, before incarnating, they put their hands up for more than one part in your learning. It’s good to remember that challenging people and situations serve as our master teachers.  Without them our souls would not grow.  Perhaps they are the ones who love us the most, on a soul level, because they accept the flak we project at them.  Whenever you get angry with your children you can bet they are acting out your unresolved stuff -- conscious or unconscious. 

If you have an emotional charge with someone, you are a victim to that person.  You’re giving them rent-free space in your head.   Own your projection and it will disarm and take away the intensity of the charge. Then you can deal with the issue.  Once we own our projections we don’t lose the capacity of the behaviour, we gain more choices. 
“Projection monsters” are created when the concept is not fully owned.   For instance: “That’s not my projection, it’s theirs”, or, “I can accept that 95% of it is my stuff, but the other 5% isn’t”.  That 5% is probably the most important projection to clear. Projecting your issues onto someone else, indulging denial and avoidance, doesn’t resolve anything.   Slipping stuff under the carpet never clears anything. It will resurface when you least expect it. 


Rules of the game--you can never tell anyone else that it is their projection. 


If you want results, take full responsibility for your actions, don’t blame others. There is a simple equation (C>E) cause is greater than effect.  Are you on the cause or the effect side of this equation?  Do you choose Empowerment to get the results you want? or victim mode of why you haven’t or can’t?  You will have a vast repertoire of reasons/excuses why you don’t get the results you want in your life.  The choice is yours. 

The prize for the winners of this game is Wisdom and Compassion.  Play it, live it and have fun!
