The most common projection is a lack of love within one’s own self, which then reaches out to another to fill this need, appearing loving in the process, because of mutual charge and the mutual hole resonating.”",

To love, in this sense, is to open ourselves to being hurt. The dream of love would have us believe that something is wrong if a relationship causes us pain. Yet trying to avoid the wound of love only creates a more permanent kind of damage. It prevents us from opening ourselves fully, and this keeps us from ever forming a deeply satisfying intimate connection.",
