- W79834760 abstract "I was looking through my books recently when I came across a remarkable passage in a volume of Carl Jung, which, about 25 years ago, I had taken the trouble to copy. ...we still go on naively projecting our own psychology into our fellow human beings. In this way everyone creates for himself a series of more or less imaginary relationships based essentially on projection... A person whom I perceive mainly through my projections is an imago or, alternatively, a carrier of imagos or symbols. All the contents of our unconscious are constantly being projected into our surroundings...All human relationships swarm with these projections... Unless we are possessed of an unusual degree of self-awareness we shall never see through our projections but must always succumb to them... (1) This passage caught my eye because of its fundamental metaphor: projections. Apparently this metaphor was suggested to Freud and Jung in the early days of moving pictures, by the action of a projector throwing an image onto a screen. (2) Certainly projection is a factor in many unsatisfactory relationships today, especially, I think, between men and women. Too often the culture seems to make accurate interpersonal perception difficult, and encourage projection. Women's styles of tight and revealing clothing, bathing suits, etc. invite projections of sexuality, yet the actual women involved may not welcome such attention. Men's behavioral styles of self-assuredness, managerial macho decisiveness, invite projections of a father-figure, or wise person, which the actual person may discover is a barrier to true friendship or intimacy. Many people in the mass media are there because they are photogenic or mediagenic. This elusive quality, I think, partly comes down to the fact that their images in the media are very receptive of projections. Our media stars carry around a huge baggage of projections, which partly explains why people get so involved in the stars' supposedly private lives. But what are these projections? Do we actually shoot images across space which land on the target screens of other people, and then perceive these projected images as coming from outside? How do people become carriers of such projected images? When we start to look at the projection metaphor closely, such questions become puzzling. So, although the projection metaphor is tremendously vivid and dramatic, it has serious limits - as any explanation based on metaphor must. While every metaphor illuminates, it also hides some aspects of what it illuminates. What does the projection metaphor hide? Simply this - we do not project anything out onto other people, in the manner of a movie projector sending beams out across space. All our perception is internal to our body (at least I think so now in 1995). Our nervous systems construct a holographic image that we experience as space-time, and within which we live. I would substitute a construction metaphor for the projection metaphor if we want to stay away from facile assumptions about projecting across space. Our senses construct a sort of virtual reality for us. We wander through the world with our sensory-virtual-reality helmets on, blind to anything not picked up by the apparatus, unaware that the world outside has no color, or sounds - just waves of energy. …" @default.
