You have an image about me, the speaker, because the speaker has a certain reputation

You have an image about me, the speaker, because the speaker has a certain reputation. The speaker gets up on the platform and talks, and you have created an image about him. If the speaker is silly enough, absurd enough to create an image about the audience, then his relationship with the audience is the image he has about the them. And you have an image about the speaker. So the relationship between the speaker and the audience is an imaginary relationship, not actual relationship. To bring about actual relationship between you and the speaker, the image must not be.
