Dance of Opposites
Deepak Chopra on the Shadow
Projecting onto others our fears and insecurities is the root of all conflict. Pay attention to the divine qualities of forgiveness, compassion, love and joy within yourself and others to heal and uplift the individual and the collective consciousness. Deepak Chopra speaks at the Omega Institute.

I continue to learn from Deepak; he is an incredible teacher. What he is saying is such an insight into our own self, and this insight empowers us to make change in this world. We can only see in others that which we have in ourselves.

Dr Demartini discuses the issue in his book The Breakthrough Experience: but he's a bit clearer, he doesn't call it 'projecting', he describes it more as our perception that others are behaving in ways we judge as intolerable or opposite to what we would like or expect. He then asks us to find the positive effect of the negative behavior on ourselves, then move on to consider how we have displayed those exact same negative behaviors in our own lives towards others. After this, we examine how those negatives have served us, but hurt others. Having gained insight into our dark side, we can then choose to change or at least understand ourselves better and abandon judgmental attitudes or behaviors.
