Projection

I also have a feeling that when Jesus spoke about removing the plank from your own eye, he was actually referring to a psychological projection.🙂

David Morales: I think that's definitely possible.

👍 Setting aside that questionable bit about being the "son of God" (and look, my apologies to all the believers here—this is just my atheist perspective speaking :mig)—it seems to me that Jesus might have been a much sharper individual than people initially realize. It looks as though many of his teachings actually contain hidden psychological instructions. It’s almost as if he had to wrap them in parables just to get them through to people. 🤣 But really, who would even be capable of decoding that? 🙄

You know, there was a time before we had TVs or computers, and in many households, there weren't even any books besides the Bible. When you spend every single day reading just a little bit and having those deep discussions with everyone at home, you really start to grasp Jesus's language. It's truly such a profound way to live.🙂

When you’re finally alone, things start to make sense—the way objects seem to speak, those internal monologues, even the urge to hold a conversation with ghosts out in the Mojave desert...
