The Gospel According to Jon: Projecting Opposites

01 November 2006

Anxiety = Excitement

Pressure = Desire

Fear = Aggression

Depression = Anger

Sad = Mad

If person/thing informs me
then I am not projecting.

If person/thing affects me
then I am projecting .

When projecting gets you down, give yourself a break by allowing the opposite feeling to crop up and bring you back into balance.

Adapted from Ken Wilber's Shadow Series.

A few thoughts about you and me

Allow yourself to relax and understand what we have in common. You have a spiritual itch. So do I. That's why I tell original stories and guided meditations. There's a bit about my faith journey here (what a long, strange trip it's been!). Here is what some other people say about me. Since 2007 I've served as Pastor of St. John's Presbyterian Church in Houston. Let's connect! Friend Jon Burnham on Facebook; follow @burjon on Twitter; Circle me on Google+. I hope to hear from you soon because we share a lot in common. For example, we are both human beings in search of a better life.
