English term or phrase: that which
Sto leggendo questo libro, "Meeting life", di Jiddu Krishnamurti e non riesco a capire la sintassi di questa frase:

He who seeks projects that which he seeks and so he lives in an illusion, always striving within the limits of his own shadow.

traduzione approssimativa:
Chi cerca dei progetti [cioè chi cerca solo cose da fare]e si limita a questa ricerca, vive in un mondo di illusioni, facendo sforzi ma sempre circoscritti alla propria ombra.

THAT WHICH: mi lascia perplessa, non so cosa voglia dire esattamente.

agree  doba (X): Hai proprio ragione! É il verbo "project" forse "esternalizzare"?

  -> Direi di no. Il concetto è anche freudiano. Proiettare psicologicamente come proiettare un ombra, la luce
