I am fond of reminding my yoga students of the saying "It takes one to know one" when they become lost I condemnation and judgment of others. The world that we perceive is a reflection of our own states of mind and reveals our own level of consciousness. The world is little more than a Rorschach blot in which we see our own desire systems projected. We see what we want to see. (116)

Our stresses, anxieties, pains, and problems arise because we do not see the world, others, or even ourselves as worthy of love

The world that we perceive is a reflection of our own states of mind and reveals our own level of consciousness.
