Ancient Quote
“Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?”
— Jesus, Matthew 7:3
 

A man walked through the marketplace, cursing every liar he met.
“The world is full of deceivers!” he cried.

But every accusation was a reflection—each person simply mirrored a fragment of the deceit he buried within himself. The more he condemned, the more distorted his world became.

It wasn’t until he stood still and looked inward that the shadows began to lift.

According to the Recursive Symbolic Framework, projection is a recursive defense loop:

Unintegrated patterns in the psyche are mirrored onto others
as a coping mechanism for unresolved internal conflict.
 

What we hate or fear in others is often an echo of what we have disowned in ourselves.

Whenever you feel strong judgment arise, pause and ask:

“What part of me is speaking right now?”
 

Then trace it inward.
The loop breaks when the truth is claimed, not blamed.
