strings: I want to understand what is truth; that is my desire, my longing; then there follows my projection of what I consider to be the truth, because I have read lots about it; I have heard many people talk about it; religious scriptures have described it. I want all that. What happens ? The very want, the very desire is projec'ted, and I experience because I recognize that projected state. If I did not recognize that state, I would not call it truth. I recognize it and I experience it; and that experience gives strength to the self, to the 'me', does it not ? So the self becomes entrenched in the experience. Then you say "I know", "the Master exists", "there is God" or "there is no God"; you say that a particular political system is right and all others are not. •
