Everybody you meet (with very few exceptions) projects expectations on
you, and by definition, seeks in kind.. The closer the relationship,
the greater the projection.We each identify with such expectations.

In modern society, those projections come at you from all angles. The
image makers are now at their most powerful in history. "Success" is
how you look, what you wear, where you live, what you drive etc etc.
Slavery has simply become more suble.It becomes self imposed.

Why should this be seen as progress from a spiritual (not religious)
perspective?

The farther away you get from your true identity, the greater the urge
to find yourself.

What about the few who dont have any expectations of you? They likely
already have.

Reciprocal altruism is probably one of our strongest instincts,
expecting fairness and a good deal, you know how bad it feels when you
think you were cheated?

In evolutionary biology, reciprocal altruism is a form of altruism in
which one organism provides a benefit to another in the expectation of
future reciprocation. This is equivalent to the Tit for tat strategy
in game theory. It would only be expected to evolve in the presence of
a mechanism to identify and punish "cheaters". An example of
reciprocal altruism is blood-sharing in the vampire bat, in which bats
feed regurgitated blood to those who have not collected much blood
themselves knowing that they themselves may someday benefit from this
same donation; cheaters are remembered by the colony and ousted from
this collaboration.

The subject heading could and should be "The Story Trap",
your "projections' are the result of well practiced stories.
Why the analogy with "holographs", I don't know, and is unnecessary.
