According to Osho, the ego is the projector and projection is its movie: the mind’s self-centered images, fears, and desires thrown onto people and events. As the ego crystallizes it can function, but truth appears only when it is surrendered; with egolessness, projection stops and perception becomes clear, revealing reality (Brahman) beyond mind.
Your ego makes up stories about others; when the ego relaxes and dissolves, the stories stop and you can see what’s actually there.
