While re-reading a book by Gareth Knight last night I came across a paragraph I underlined nearly two years ago .
" The union of the Higher and Lower Selves frequently manifests to lower consciousness in terms of a contra-sexual image . Thus to a male personality it produces the concept of the ' ideal ' woman . Conversely , the feminine personality will project an image of the ' ideal ' man... "
Since then of course Ive had the ideas of J.C Jung brought to my attention , which has added a sense of justification and rationality to the above idea . It is on this note that I can not express how helpful and even comforting it was to see a ' main stream ' explanation for the above picture . Of course I understand the mystical side of the equation and all it brings , but that's so subjective and in the long term cant really bring closure . Reading Jung's ideas on projection has lifted some weight off my shoulders in a mental sense and has helped me reach some kind of closure on a turbulent period in my life . Thank-you .
