Unfortunately, many of us are unconsciously projecting our shadows onto one another which makes for a great deal of discomfort, confusion, and unnecessary anger. Dr. Hollis has a great video about embracing the shadow and Robert Johnson, of course, has a great book called Owning Your Own Shadow, a must-read for the human race.

if one actually wakes up from the hypnotic state that is projection it is literally being born again. And you'll have a hell of a laugh. And your life is now saved. Thanks, Doc!

Hollis, excellent lecture. He is a one and only human being. Wish l found him a lot earlier in my life.

Why do some get so many negative projections sent toward them when living with integrity?

[MrPoopatron]

Great video. Really covered it in a clear and concise way!

The way you explained it, I understand it so much better. Thankyou

This makes more sense than other explanations. Projection is when we feel some quality is in another based on some past encounter(s) with some person(s) that was memorable or painful. When we anticipate having to encounter some person like those who were painful, we may then try to draw in a surrogate to practice defending ourselves. We project on to the hapless victim our wrath or manipulation in order to gain confidence for the upcoming battle with the real enemy. If would be nice to hear about how we can defuse these situations when we are the victim of projections..

Wow thank you. Very helpful. I have a lot to learn about how to use my mind better.

Nice breakdown. I think I tend to Skew projections together with having Stereotypes or Intuition* about another persons potential behavior.. Often times being somewhat "Right", but knowing statistically and by experience, I could be wrong. I'd say these habits are Needed, but also see ways it can become a problem. This video should be in a Life handbook somwhere lol along with some of the current Dalai Lama's talks.. Practices of Self Control and understanding that can be applied to many situations in Life for the sake of Awareness.

Just here to say.. The music in the intro is amazing. Love that guitar LOL

[queenofthebutterflies]

That was really well explained, thanks :)

[Rhygenix]

I was once accused for projecting, because I was accusing someone else for projecting. Is that even possible?

Thank you. I feel it's very difficult to get into anyone else's experience. I only have my impression of another person, which I can gradually refine over time, but my knowledge will never be complete. Isn't all of human society a projection, more or less? Words, pictures, ideas, countries, beliefs, cultures? A typical human reality is human projection; and we don't realise we're doing it?

In the case where their projections were their confessions, is it common for them to not remember what they said shortly afterwards ? If yes and it’s common for not to remember, then does that mean they forgot entirely what they even was doing for such an extended amount of time ? And perhaps that maybe explains the temporary memory loss of voicing initial projections?
Is my text making sense ?

but if you're able to talk about it, and recognise that you're doing it then it becomes conscious.
