inner and outer

[Guest guest]

There is only one mistake you are making: you take the inner for the outer,

and the outer for the inner. What is in you, you take to be outside you, and

what is outside you take to be in you. The mind and feelings are external,

but you take them to be intimate. You believe the world to be objective,

while it is entirely a projection of your psyche. That is the basic

confusion. (240)
