Abstract
ABSTRACT We fill the void with our unlimited projections, which emerge from the meanderings of psyche, nourished by shadow, and shaped by personal complexes. The impact of these projections is incalculable, and our first line of defense is to block access to the void or emptiness. Accepting the presence of emptiness means emptiness symbolizes something. Understanding and giving emptiness the place of a symbol is a paradox that has intrigued people for centuries. The author provides an overview of Eastern and Western notions of nothingness and emptiness.
期刊介绍：
Jung Journal: Culture & Psyche is an international quarterly published by the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco, one of the oldest institutions in America dedicated to Jungian studies and analytic training. Founded in 1979 by John Beebe under the title The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, Jung Journal has evolved from a local journal of book and film reviews to one that attracts readers and contributors worldwide--from the Academy, the arts, and from Jungian analyst-scholars. Featuring peer-reviewed scholarly articles, poetry, art, book and film reviews, and obituaries, Jung Journal offers a dialogue between culture--as reflected in art.
