Projection

Consciousness projects itself, as it were, through the faculties of thinking, sensing and perceiving, and seems to become an object, an other, a world. However, this projection always remains within itself, although it seems to take place outside of itself. Consciousness seems to remain on this side of the projection as 'I,' and everything that seems to be on the other side, the 'not-me' side, becomes an 'object,' an 'other,' the 'world.'
