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.
