Projection. The theory that God and gods are merely objectifications of human needs, ideals, or desires. With few exceptions, the theory in modern Western thought forms part of reductionistic accounts of
theistic belief. These accounts are in general built on the thought of L.
Feuerbach and K.
Marx, on the one hand, or of S.
Freud and the psychoanalytic school, on the other.
In Eastern religions, projection takes on a different and more fundamental significance. In Hinduism, it implies the basic ignorance (
avidyā) which superimposes reality on to
Brahman, as though appearances have independent existence.
In Buddhism, the projection of reality on to the unreal world of appearance arises equally from ignorance; and in
Mahāyāna, especially Chʾan/
Zen, it involves a failure to realize that all appearances are equally empty of self (
śūnyatā).
