The projection of the personal shadow generally falls on persons of the same sex.
On a collective level, it gives rise to war, scapegoating and confrontations between political parties.
Remote Projection is Infantile. The projection carrier (victim) is not there to provide any response.
Passive & Active Projection.
Passive projection is completely automatic and unintentional, like falling in love. The less we know about another person, the easier it is to passively project unconscious aspects of ourselves onto them.
Active projection is better known as empathy – we feel ourselves into the other’s shoes. Empathy that extends to the point where we lose our own standpoint becomes identification.
