Constellated (i.e., activated) unconscious contents are, so far as we know, always projected; that is, they are either discovered in external objects, or are said to exist outside one’s own psyche — Carl Jung
Unconscious contents, for Jung, meant repressed conflicts, but why not merely crisis in general, either within or without an individual. It is then that our senses are heightened, our thoughts are vigilant, and we notice qualia we might never have noticed before, constellated before us. And, constellated qualia need not just be projected outward, but it broadcasts inward as well — We don’t project it, it projects itself. Qualia must survive, too. It attracts us, we move toward it, ritual with it, and it is manifested — projected into reality. A bee is attracted to a flower’s redness; he rituals with it, develops a qualiadelic relationship with it; the flower, over the generations, projects more redness — and the bee sees redness better. Evolution is the result of qualiadelic relationships.
Qualia evolves, too: the redness becomes redder!
Why do we focus so tenaciously upon our human projections? We should be looking always for qualiadelic constellations. The constellations only seem human at first because we see our reflection in everything; but the longer we look the more we see they are reflections of ecosystems. Ecosystems project them to us!
