Map of the Soul - Persona Quotes

“Our experience in life, especially in the first half of life, like with the BTS members in their 20’s, is that we discover the Self in others and through others. We call it projection, but projection can be a kind of dismissive way of talking about finding the soul when you are in relationship to another person, let’s say a beloved. When you are in a relationship with a beloved, you are with your soul. That’s why it becomes so crucially dependent to be with her. She is your soul, or he is your soul. But that doesn’t mean it’s all out there. Inside and outside get mixed up, mixed together.”
― Murray B. Stein, Map of the Soul – Persona: Our Many Faces
