Many, many, many individuals incorporate a very similar expression concerning themselves with the perceptions of other individuals. This is an outward projection of attention. Now; let me also express that this is reinforced by mass beliefs which express that it is better to be concerning yourself with other individuals than to be with yourself — for if you are paying attention to yourself, you are expressing selfishness, and if you are a good individual you shall place others first, which is quite incorrect. But these are mass beliefs and these mass beliefs discount the individual. Now; these mass beliefs are also very familiar, and therefore you generate automatic responses in association with them. The action of projecting outwardly is a natural movement for most individuals, for most individuals incorporate the orientation of common and this is a natural expression for this orientation. But you may be paying attention to outside expressions and also simultaneously continue to be paying attention to yourself and what is influencing what you are doing, and catch yourself, so to speak, in these actions of concerning yourself with the perceptions of other individuals, how they view you. Are they viewing you in the manner that you wish them to be viewing you? Are they understanding you in the manner that you wish them to be understanding you? What evaluations are they creating in association with you? Are they in approval of you? And you are evaluating them also, and at times generate comparisons of yourself with other individuals. Many of these actions are influenced in a lack of trust of self and not valuing yourself. Now; generally speaking, you individually do express a considerable value of yourself, and in many directions you also express a trust of yourself. In some directions, you express less trust of yourself, which is not unusual. But you are choosing to be examining those areas in which you are not trusting yourself as much, so to speak, and allowing yourself more of an expression of trust and acceptance, and therefore also allowing yourself to realize more of your individual freedom. One of these expressions is associated with communication. Now; be remembering, what you generate outwardly is a reflection of what you are generating inwardly. Therefore, you are trusting your communications to yourself more than you have previously, but you continue to express doubt of yourself inwardly, whether you are accurately interpreting or translating your own communications to yourself. Therefore, you also generate this outwardly and you reflect this through other individuals to yourself.
