shadows of ideas projected on the wall = opinions‚ illusions. -The wall = the material world seen by us. -Ideas are the basis of reality and not the material world. The most important thing you can do is: ’ Know thyself’‚ practice self-reflection‚ learn more about yourself than what you believe you are.
