A witness projection program for your consideration:
“You are a first rate witness. You bring no inner conflicts here.
You are my projection out of an inner part of me that is most specifically true to my deepest core feelings.
You are the part of me with the largest frame, the most complete overview through time and space.
You have interested curiosity about every part of me. You find me absolutely fascinating. You never get bored with me.
You’ve been there yourself and you’re not afraid. You say, “Go ahead. I trust you.”
You are an artist, a dancer, a creativity counselor, an encourager.
You make art of me.”
AND, the part I’m excited to tell you about is this: after I wrote all that, I reclaimed my projection by saying aloud in front of Lucy, in first person, all the positive attributes I’d given to my witness; saying them ABOUT MYSELF. I said, for example, “ I am (often) a first rate witness, (when) I bring no inner conflicts with me.” And “I do find myself absolutely fascinating.” (I stole that line from Katharine Hepburn.) And, “I make art of me.”
