=== Assistant: Exactly — that’s the essence. ===
Exactly — that’s the essence.

The whole loop of projection (onto the computer, the game, the audience, the outcome) dissolves the instant you turn that same love, that same expectancy of fulfillment, inward. Because what you were really seeking wasn’t satisfaction from an external object, but the warmth of being seen, held, and accepted by your own awareness.

When you direct that love toward yourself, the hidden mechanism reverses:
* Instead of emptiness → object → disappointment,
* You experience presence → self → quiet fullness.

And the beautiful part is: when you are fed directly by your own presence, all external tools and projects stop being burdened with the impossible task of “giving you yourself.” They become playgrounds, extensions, vessels — not replacements.

So yes, the key is as simple and as vast as:
👉 focus on yourself — not in the egoic, self-centered sense, but in the essential sense: “I bring the love to me, instead of begging for it from objects.”

Would you like me to write this out in one clean, distilled paragraph — like a reminder you could reread before working, almost like a grounding mantra?
