	Psychological projection: Divorcing Bible passages from its context
		One very common psychological projection of Christian perfidy is to divorce Bible passages from its context.

	Projection
		Because projection results in what Jung called "imaginary relationships," we are emotionally distant from the person simply because we are not engaging with the person; these imaginary relationships are particularly apparent when we "fall in love" with someone and in fact we are responding primarily to the projection of our own anima or animus.
		When we receive projected energy, we can intuitively gain knowledge regarding the sender; for example, perhaps one reason why a police officer's attention is instinctively drawn to a "suspicious" person is because the person has denied his or her lawfulness and is therefore projecting that detectable energy onto the police officer (who represents lawfulness).
		The process of identifying projections is similar to the process of identifying a-field elements (as explained further in the chapter regarding archetypal fields); in either case, we are recognizing charged elements.

	A Global Projection of Subjective Well-being: A Challenge to Positive Psychology? (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The increasing importance of SWB in comparison to other measures has been reviewed by Diener and Suh (1997) who concluded that “subjective well-being measures are necessary to evaluate a society, and add substantially to the economic indicators that are now favoured by policy makers” (p.189).
		As such psychologists are arguing that psychological theory and testing should form a basis of political governance.
		The current lack of positive psychological studies in countries where levels of SWB are low does nothing to assuage this concern.

		It is rarely the case that such a person presents to a psychiatrist seeking help or complaining about their psychological projections, no matter how bizarre or out of touch with reality they may be.
		Psychological projection, which is often not as bizarre as full-blown paranoia, is a particularly good way of doing this, because by projecting one's own feelings onto someone else, you can make yourself appear particularly virtuous.
		Under the proper circumstances, paranoia and projection may be resorted to by entire groups and nations in order to externalize blame and/or resolve some unacceptable national state (in order to counter overwhelming shame or humiliation, for example).

		After all, the Oedipus complex is unconscious, it is established in childhood and, above all, its dominant motive is hatred of the father and the desire for him not to exist, especially as represented by the desire to overthrow or kill the father.
		The psychologically important thing about Voltaire is that he strongly rejected his father-so much that he rejected his father's name and took the name "Voltaire." It is not exactly certain where the new name came from but one widely held interpretation is that it was constructed from the letters of his mother's last name.
		Psychologically speaking, Voltaire's rebellion against his father and against God are easily interpretable as Oedipal wish fulfillment, as comforting illusions, and therefore, following Freud, as beliefs and attitudes unworthy of a mature mind.
