I don't fully understand what you mean.

Gravity is a human projection.

But why would being aware something is a human projection change the projection itself?

I'm saying a different thing, but possibly we are assigning very different meanings to words, in which case one of us is hopelessly confused.

What I'm saying is that I have a way to think about gravity that might be different from other people. Maybe in the past they thought differently about gravity, maybe there is someone who is convinced about levitation and that the mind is able to defeat gravity. Different people --> different projections.

So: why those different projections aren't able the change the underlying fact that gravity works in a certain way that is independent from those projections?
