Propelled by the feeling of Self Righteous, Indignance
“I am clean and whole because all dangerous impulses belong in the objects outside of my boundary.”
We project in order to put on to others that which we find difficult to experience from within. By externalizing our internal discomfort as if it is coming from the outside world or another person, the inner self feels protected. However, using projection between one's own impulses and the outside world will eventually spell trouble, for the world rapidly becomes populated with mirrors of the self's unacknowledged flaws. Projecting the source of our troubles on to others, can cut us off from the capacity or interest in self improvement, and self forgiveness.
As adults we will Project as a means to experience ourselves worthy of Adoration, Passion
Projection in Consensus Reality
There is a consensus reality - where we perceive that which is agreed upon as reliable. In this shared reality, we generally see four “acceptable” Projection combinations of defense mechanisms operating. Developed in early childhood, they continue to operate as a basic temperamental style throughout adulthood. Here we see Projection as it combines with its four common partners: withdrawal, detachment, denial, and discharging.
-
When Projecting is combined with Withdrawal, I behave as an Adversary - projecting my despondent feelings while seeking to be Valiant.

Seeking Attunement while Projecting and Detaching from my feelings
-
When Projection is combined with Denial, I behave as a Neurotic - Projecting my Deficient feelings while seeking to be Nurturing
Active in the everyday Persona of the Rescuer and the Sympathizer
Seeking Generosity while Projecting and Denying my feelings
-

Seeking Optimism while Projecting and Discharging my feelings
Projection as a Dark Wave in Non-Consensus Reality
As our attachment to the rotating Defense Structures within us dissolves, attention turns to disembodied dark waves that we find alive in our environment.
Dark wave energies are experienced outside the accepted norms of reality; sometimes occurring in our sex lives, more often in the form of compelling Doppelgangers - the “Others” - operating outside that which we find acceptable.
As we gain a more personal relationship to these Dark Wave entities, we place ourselves at the Gates of Dawn.

Do you find yourself disturbed by the appearance of Machiavellianism in your world? Might you recognize in its appearance, a doppelgänger to your own unresolved actualization of Order?
Open to the sensations of this starving self, constantly manipulating others to secure a hidden gains.
A state of projection and containment of one’s Insatiability can block reality and summon the Dark Wave entity witnessed in
Skinwalker
(the Navajo embodiment of malicious transformation)
This state of reality-blockade can best be soothed by giving attention to Order in your life.
-
Do you find yourself disturbed by the appearance of extreme Anti -Social tendencies in your world? Might you recognize in their appearance, a doppelgänger to your own unresolved actualization of Fortitude?
Open to the sensations of this callous core, exploiting others in a transaction for safety.
A state of projection and absorption of one’s own Inferiority can block reality and summon the Dark Wave entity witnessed in
Baba Yaga
(the Slavic figure of transactional exploitation)
This state of reality-blockade can best be soothed by giving attention to Fortitude in your life.
Both the Dissembler (Skinwalker) and Sociopath (Baba Yaga) suffer an unmet aspiration for
Benevolent Security
-
Actualizing the Great Bear qualities of Order
and the Great Snow Leopard qualities of Fortitude
offers Benevolent Security
to the dark wave energies of the Skinwalker and the Baba Yaga.
Focus on the call of these Pipers in you.
They point you toward non-dominant aspects of your True Self.
What would you be willing to learn and actualize from your own sense of Order and Fortitude?
To call upon Order and Fortitude to meet
Skinwalker and Baba Yaga energies
First, set aside the the impulse to project your insatiable inferior feelings on to others.
In the pause of that quiet moment, turn there to the presence of these two Pipers at the Gates of Dawn, heralding the Great Bats of Divine Conviction
