PSYCHOANALYSIS and some THINKINGS
===================================
===================================
Psychoanalysis, which is easier to understand than to
spell, tells us what we really think when we think we think a thing.
Without psychoanalysis we should never know that when
we think a thing, the thing we think we think is
not the thing we think we think, but only the thing that
makes us think we think the thing we think we think.
It is all a question of the Unconscious. The Unconscious
enables us to think we are thinking about the thing
we think we want to think about, while all the time the
thing we really want to think about is being thought about
unconsciously by the Unconscious.
The Unconscious is a survival from our barbaric ancestry
and has no manners.
As the the sort of thing the Unconscious thinks about is
not the sort of thing we care to think about, the
Unconscious takes care not to let us think it is thinking about
what it is thinking about. If we are in danger of thinking
that we are thinking about what we are really thinking
about, the thing we are thinking about is sublimated
into something we don't mind thinking we are
thinking about.
Actually the Unconscious is divided into parts: the part
that thinks the thing, and the part that prevents our
thinking we are thinking the thing.
This preventing of our thinking we are thinking the thing
we do not care to think we are thinking is called Repression.
Repression is due to the Super-Ego, which is very genteel.
There is friction between the Super-Ego and the Coarse part
of the Un-conscious, or the Id. The Id thinks a thing that the
Super-Ego thinks it ought not to think, and the Super-Ego
represses the thing the Id thinks, so that we never think we
think it. But unless the Id thinks we are thinking it, the Id becomes
dissatisfied and causes trouble.
As the Id thinks we can only think we are thinking the
sort of thing the Super-Ego thinks we ought to think, we
have to make the Id think we are thinking the thing Id
thinks, by thinking we are thinking something that is
something like the thing the Id is thinking. If we can fool
the Id we are all right. If not, there is no thinking
what we may be thinking.
It comes, then, to this: The things to think we think are
the things that the Super-Ego thinks are the things to
think, and that the Id thinks are the
things {it} thinks.
I think that's perfectly clear.
