Is the self-image one prefers influenced by external factors or does it change independently?

According to Osho, any 'self-image' is a picture taken by observers—their projection—and it shifts with the photographer. The living reality keeps changing; to be alive is to change. He offers presence, not a fixed picture. Therefore, preferred images are externally shaped and inevitably fluid; authenticity lies in being available, not in maintaining a static self-portrait.
