Hans Wilhelm: The Law of Projection

hi I am Hans Lillian and in this video in the life explained series I will talk a little bit about the law of rejection a woman was once visited by a friend and she complained bitterly to her friend how dirty her neighbor was she has a dirty house at children a dirty look at her washing on the line she says they are full of black streaks so a friend goes to the window looks out and she says my friend I think the clothes are quite clean the streaks are on your window this in a nutshell is the law of rejection now let's have a look how it actually works this law of rejection is a mental law of the mind it says that whatever we project on the screen of our mind we perceive in the world around us we measure we have one of these old-fashioned movie projectors in our head there are the two reels and this is a movie projector and the screen for that movie is firstly our mind and the movie that is always running in our head is called my beliefs my characteristics my hang-ups and my programs and the screen for this movie is not just our mind but it is also the world around us someone said that the word we perceive is nothing but an out picturing of our beliefs in other words wherever whatever we see inwardly determines what we see on the outside if I perceive for instance a lot of hate in me I see a lot of hate in the outside world and if I see a lot of love in me I see a lot of love also around me whatever is in me determines what I see in the world around me in his book the power of now accattone accords the world within us the primer wreath reality and the world outside of us the secondary reality the primary reality determines how we experience the secondary reality the world around us reflects to us who we are what we judge what we fear and most of all all our beliefs our programs and characteristics the external world also mirrors how we feel about ourselves and what we believe about ourselves wherever we look we only see ourselves look at this wonderful toy it perfectly demonstrates how we see the world we are that little person in the center of our world and wherever this little look person looks the only sees himself in all the mirrors around him that is exactly how the word around us reflects nothing but ourselves back to us who we are what we judge what we fear our corrects the traits and all our beliefs we normally say seeing is believing but in actuality it's the other way around believing is seeing because our belief determines what we see interesting isn't it and as we believe so we experience the creation of the physical reality around us always no exception every belief is an absolute self fulfilling system of our own personal reality and if we wanted to see anything changed in the world we have to change first we have to either change the movie or we have to clean the projector sometimes there are some dirty on the movie we have to clean the lengthy of the lens and then this becomes clean again before we try to stop the wars in the world we have to stop the wars within ourselves first so whatever bucks us is in us this includes all the people situations or anything else that pushes our buttons then mirror to us beliefs behavior patterns attitudes character traits that we either overtly express or secretly repress that's why this loss of the court it takes one it takes one to know one or you spot it you got it law what we spot in the other person is in us we also know it as the kettle calling the pot black in other others call it the triggering law because it triggers something off in us we are what we see in others we are angry we see of course angry people and us people are situations that give us emotional charges reflecting a charge we have against ourselves it can go so far that a person who is physically hurting us is also reflecting a hurt that we have inflicted inwardly onto ourselves whatever people outwardly do unto us we have been doing inwardly to ourselves in other words people are expressing what we are repressing if we inwardly attack push resists ourselves we feel outwardly attacked pushed and are resisted by others whatever bucks us in others is in us always ever since I learned about this spiritual law some forty years ago I've been searching for exceptions and so have my students but so far we have not found to see exception to this law if you're so doubtful here is a simple test pick your least favorite politician but president and then write down three of his most despicable characteristics I'm just making this here up here on his flip-flop one is he lies he manipulates what you have to write really your own personal characteristics there which you hate in that person now right behind each of these characteristic three incidences where you have been doing the same thing or desperately wanted to do the same thing in your life at one time or another when you are honest with yourself you will find these instances very quickly write them down in a few words now once you have completed this list go over these three instances and yeah that you have listed and think of how they have actually saved you and gave you what you wanted the last part of this exercises helpful for us to realize that even the so-called negative character traits all have a positive side to it as well the yin-yang because everything is balanced in our universe everything has two sides to it and only once we see the whole picture can we start loving that what has haunted us for so long but the great thing about this law of rejection is the fact that it also reflects back to us all the good characteristics that we admire so much in others here's a little halo all the talents skills the Menace that we may have even envied others they are actually also enough otherwise we could not have recognized them in the other remember you spot it you got it we have the same talents the same skills but we may not have been aware of them or expressed them but they are there waiting for us to use them and to own them so the law of rejection is an amazing gift that helps us to recognize ourselves and shows us we still have to love and clear up so that we become once again that magnificent glorious being that we all are in truth
