According to Badiau, Art, Science, Politics, love are the only four possible domains of human existence in which it is possible do have some access to the truth, within which it is possible to serve life, create life, live life and produce life. If life is dependent upon art, science, politics, love then art, science, politics and love are fundamentally revolving around self, world and God. Since all these ideologies seed with the idea of God, it is impossible to envisage self and world without God.
Freud said that it is impossible to come to terms with the self without factoring in unconscious. The most important in any conception of “I” is the unconscious. One cannot think about “I” or “self” without thinking about the mind. The mind encompasses thought, perception, feeling and imagination. It is the only fundamentally infinite thing in the human body. He also said that the preconscious is the part of the unconscious that is bursting into the consciousness. Whilst consciousness is transitory as it recedes back into the unconsciousness.
The structure of the unconscious forms the basis of the psychoanalysis written by Freud. He said “All life is in the process of falling apart”.
There is no concept of time and space in the unconscious. Hence, where there is no time, there is eternity.
He also said that the consciousness is essentially the “known known”. He knew that the conscious was just the tip of the iceberg therefore he chose to study the unconscious. The unconscious is what has the potential to become a part of one’s consciousness and it is that part of one’s unconsciousness that one can never tap into or truly understand. The unconscious is chaos and energy; it recognizes no logic nor morality nor a concept of time. And...

...ion of time and its structure is primarily based on Dasein. Dasein is a totality of ‘facticity, existence and falling’ corresponding to past, present and future respectively giving rise to the concept of time.
Life is sum of all the conscious and unconscious decisions that one makes working towards something or working for something you might be aware of it you might just make it is when living it for the all times stepping out of it goes in a blink, it couldn’t have been explained better.
The set behavior encompassing actions larger than life, in motivation hindsight, there could be phenomena like the conscious, will to power and death, do not matter. As an established fact, embraced by thinkers of their generations have hailed it so rightfully has called it LIFE which cannot be well defined.
So ultimately, you, in your own self are your life and nothing else.
Depending upon your definition of the present, it is hard to distinguish when the present time really is. Trying to pinpoint the exact time of “now” seems to be impossible because when we actually finish saying “now” it is already in the past. It is believed by many people that when a human dies for example, they cease to exist. In this essay I will be looking at two key concepts that relate to the topic of existence and the present time. These concepts are ‘Presentism’ and ‘Eternalism’. I will begin the essay by outlining what ‘Eternalism’ is and how its followers may see the present in a different way because of it. From here I will propose some of its weaknesses followed by objections to these weaknesses. The second main concept will be ‘Presentism’ which will be the opposing argument that suggests that things only exist in the present time instead of the past, present and future. After giving this argument, I will also be giving objections and counters to it. I, myself believe that there is a present time and existence, as we I find it difficult to believe that something exists in the same way once it has died and decomposed.
When working with the Infinite it would be wise to keep a personal perspective or risk losing a sense of oneself. Even though we call it our mind, we are only making use of the infinite intelligence of Life. We work with the creative power of Life and think we are powerful. We arrange and rearrange the natural elements of Life and claim to control the creative process. In reality, our mind is what we know of the infinite Mind. Our life is our expression of the one Life. Our world is what we make of the universe of potential and possibilities in which we live, move and have our being.
it was his illusion of his ideal future that made time a key dimension in
Sigmund Freud’s theories on the construction of the mind are simple, but fundamentally changed the field of psychology. He proposed, among other things, that the human mind is composed of three parts: the conscious, preconscious, and unconscious. The preconscious consists of information, such as a telephone number, that is “accessible to consciousness without emotional resistance” (Schellenberg 21). In Freud’s estimation, the unconscious is the most important area of the mind. The information stored within it has “very strong resistances” to becoming conscious (Freud 32). Residing in the unconscious is the id, which “contains everything…that is present at birth… – above all, therefore, the instincts which originate from somatic organization” (14). From birth, all action is instinctual, from the id. The id recognizes and entertains no desires but its own and is impatient to have its needs met. This phase lasts until a part of the id changes “under the influence of the real external world” (14). This changed portion b...
Life is a series of experiences in which each one of us grows into the individual we are now. Every move, each word and thought shapes our person.
Freud begins to create the map of mental life through the ideas of the ego, the id, and the superego. The ego, or consciousness, is the manner in which a person first realizes tha...
Sigmund Freud known to be the father of Psychoanalysis , contributed a large deal of this research on the construct of the unconscious mind. Freud valued the effect that the id, ego and superego had on a pe...
Freud (1960) said \"that very powerful mental processes of ideas exist which can produce all the effects of the mental life that ordinary ideas do, though they themselves do not become conscious\" (p. 4). This is an indication that there are other parts of the mind in which thoughts occur. According to Freud (1960), \"the state in which the ideas existed before being made conscious is called by us repression\" (p. 4). It is by the theory of repression that the concept of the unconscious is obtained.
Life is not merely something that we experience outwardly. It can be an awakening to imagination, emotion, and true virtue. As we experience feelings in the way Puddleglum lived, believing in something so profound and so realistic that no apathy or emptiness could ever dissuade him, we can learn to live a life worth continuing. Keeping our eyes on that which is not fleeting or passing away, we can learn to feel more and with purpose. As 1 John 2:17 declares, “And the world is passing away with all its desires, but the person who does the will of God remains
The psychodynamic theory focuses on the unconscious mind. Freud’s credence is that different mental forces operate in the mind. The unconscious mind can be described as being like an iceberg. The tip of the iceberg represents the part of the mind that is conscious, everyday thoughts. The iceberg just below the water’s surface represents the pre conscious, thoughts and information that can be retrieved easily. And finally the base of the iceberg is the unconscious part of the mind where fears, traumas and bad experiences are contained, almost impossible to retrieve.
‘The Interpretation of Dreams’ by Sigmund Freud can be concluded that the unconscious mind can be expressed through dreams. As it is believed by his that it represents the fulfilment of wishes. Just as Freud’s ‘iceberg’ model of personality states the conscious is where we have contact with the outside world, the preconscious is material just beneath the surface of awareness and lastly the unconscious where this is difficult to retrieve the material as it is below the surface of awareness. The unconscious holds an individual’s experiences everyday as it is also known as the biological aspect of the mind. As Freud believed some thoughts and wishes are hidden in the unconscious and not made conscious.
The aim of this essay is to clarify the basic principles of Freud’s theories and to raise the main issues.
Psychoanalysis had its beginning with the discovery that a person in complete physical health could experience an illness with physical symptoms that stemmed from things trapped in the subconscious known as hysteria. Charcot, a French neurologist tried to liberate the mind through hypnosis. A Viennese physician, Josef Breuer, carried this purging further with a process based on his patient, Anna O., revealing her thoughts and feelings to him. Sigmund Freud took Breuer’s method and made generalizations that grew into conceptualizations and eventually into the theories of psychoanalysis. Freud would listen to his patients, and then use these thoughts to interpret what was happening in the unconscious part of their mind. This was explained as bringing the unconscious to consciousness so it could be dealt with through therapy. Breuer and Freud’s successes with this method led to the foundational publication of Studies in Hysteria in 1895. Freud continued his practice of theory until it became the system of psychology known as psychoanalysis, a system that is the single most influential theory of psychotherapy in our time. A brief look into psychoanalysis is seen through the foundations of Freud’s theory.
Their knowledge in the unconscious system is repressed and unavailable to consciousness without overcoming resistance (e.g., defense mechanisms). Thereby, the repression does not allow unconscious knowledge to be completely aware; rather, it is construed by means of concealing and compromise, but only interpretable through its derivatives dream and parapraxes that overcome resistance by means of disguise and compromise. Within the preconscious system, the contents could be accessible, although only a small portion at any given moment. Unconscious thought is characterized by primary process thinking that lacks negation or logical connections and favors the over-inclusions and 'just-as' relationships evident in condensed dream images and displacements. Freud asserted that primary process of thinking was phylogenetically, and continues to be ontogenetically, prior to secondary process or logical thought, acquired later in childhood and familiar to us in our waking life (1900, 1915a).
Deep in the minds of human beings lies a vast ocean of emotions and experiences. The human mind is often misconstrued and simplified by those who possess one, but delving deeper into the mind and it’s processes you see a whole other world that is veiled beneath the surface. One of the most famous examples of the human mind is the image of an iceberg, what is on the surface is so minimal compared to the immense body that lies underneath. Sigmund Freud was the father of psychoanalysis and believed in the idea of the unconscious and subconscious that help power who we are. Through psychoanalysis Freud began to reclaim the self as an individual and stressed the importance of the external world and it’s direct role with the internal realm of an individual. Although it was originally found to be a sort of therapy for those with mental illnesses, it has an interesting and analytical and philosophical view of the self, and through this spawned new beliefs in philosophy. Through the establishment of the id, superego, and ego, and the past’s affect on the shaping the present state of the self, psychoanalysis reclaims the self for an individual and is successful in doing so.
