@Schizophonia if everything is a projection, then what were you trying to achieve by calling my writings "a projection"? What's the point of even mentioning that? Why don't you write that on every post? 

I don’t say you’re wrong.

I just have fun to show the relativity of your truth, which is conditioned by your persona.

@Schizophonia

We have to establish the definition of what projection is then.

We have to seperate conditioning of the body and the conditioning of the personality. 

A body is an instrument through which we percieve reality

The data that enters the body's senses can be observed with ego conditioning or without it.

When data that enters the body is being interpreted through the ego, we see things in a distorted way. We call that a projection. 

My claim is that you can perceive reality without distortions/projections of the ego.

Your argument that observing reality without ego projection is impossible doesn't stand. If ego can be dissolved or if conciousness is beyond ego. Than perception without ego projections must exist. 

With that said, your claim that my writings are ego projections have not been backup by you so far.

@Schizophonia on a seperate note, conciousness is indipendant of nervous system and personality and all avatars and all filters and all lenses etc. So that's another additional level on which you're wrong when you say projection is fundamental to perception.

Truth is relative yes, but it’s still the truth. 

With that logic, everything you've said so far is only true for you and no one else. If you truly believed your own philosophy, you'd know trying to convince me your perception of the situation is right would be pointless, yet here you are. Defending your position as if it's an objective truth. That falls into a category of being a hypocrite
