The Inner Void and the Illusion of Love: A Journey to Wholeness

Author(s)	Prof. Bal Krishan, Dr. Brinder Kumar
Country	India
Abstract	This article explores the psychological and spiritual implications of how early emotional deficits and unlived aspects of the self shape adult relationships and personal identity. Drawing from psychodynamic theory, Jungian psychology, and trauma-informed insights, it examines the mistaken belief that love is something to be found outside oneself. Instead, it proposes that true love arises from the integration of the fragmented self and the reclamation of one's authentic being. The article argues that transformation through wholeness is not merely psychological but ultimately spiritual, leading to a deeper connection with the universal consciousness.
