Projection

[solarpsychedelic]

Thinking about the Jungian concept of projection. Although we usually talk about it in negative terms, I think it can have a positive aspect.

We frequently project our unacknowledged positive traits onto public figures with the expectation of some kind of rescue.

Growing up then, is the retraction of that type of projection to wake up our dormant positive traits and use them to help makes our lives and the lives of others better.
