Theory of Mind |

New things are great, are they not? Well, that is what you are left believing in this strange place we call the world. Of course, some may argue that materialism is the cause of this wanting, but some others may argue still that wanting is an inevitable part of the human condition, that we seek out novelty while guarding ourselves against possible malign influences; really, they would suggest that we need to balance our urges with the reality that we face. And so, fear and anxiety comes to us as a warning and always urgent, but then some of us still experience fear and anxiety even when we are safe and sound. Of course, the human condition may never quite be safe and sound I suppose, and in the end our mind is a funny and strange thing.

    Dr. Sigmund Freud used to talk about the human mind, the theory of mind form his own and I suppose professional point of view, that of psychoanalysis, and of course for Dr. Freud psychoanalysis was viewed as a tool and indeed something quite mechanistic, something that could be used to extract all sorts of missing pieces, missing gaps of the mind—if we allow ourselves to assume that the human mind and perhaps even so the human condition is quite continuous—and that one could initiate treatment by the use of these missing gaps of the mind, for according to Dr. Freud, the human mind represses certain urges and certain "triggers", "triggers" as most modern people would refer to them, in order to protect itself, and so the assumption was always that if one could reach deep enough into the mind, the subconscious and even unconscious mind, it would be quite possible to gather these missing gaps and reveal something about the mind, something about the identity of the mind and of the person. Of course, this enterprise assumes all sorts of things: for one, it assumes that the mind below that of the corporeal mind somehow represents something even more integral and superior to the individual, and something that must be gathered in order to enable the probing of the mind in order to reconstruct the lost individual and all of his desires, desires for himself and for the world, for without these missing gaps the individual himself is apparently lost to the confusion and the darkness and the depravities of the abysmal depths of the mind. Of course, this would be the very opposite of the the traditional and sacred sciences: attempting to restore the lost individual of yesteryears, all the potential of childhood, is actually impossible if we continue to dig into the ground instead of actually looking up to what actually exists above the corporeal mind – the supra-mind. Even if the proponents of psychoanalysis, such as Dr. Freud, and the uncovering of the unconscious mind claim to seek these noble goals, higher knowledge, they are nonetheless committing a grave mistake, for their assumptions are inverted, or rather they fail to grasp that higher knowledge is not to be found in the subconscious or the unconscious for that matter – higher knowledge may only be found in the supra-human order. The mind is normally closed off to these malign and malefic forces, but by engaging the mind in this adverse way, by uncovering the unconscious you have just opened the door for something very dangerous, read "Mesmerism". This kind of magnetism has nothing to do with sacred rituals, all it is is a counterfeit but often a very dangerous counterfeit. I suppose then that there are a lot of stupid and ignorant people out there that do not have the capacity to even become dangerous, but that is actually the default state, and especially in our times of mechanical procedure. Now, Dr. Freud on the other hand, as certain scholars would lament, did not seek to create disturbances but their misguided activities did nonetheless cause disturbance and is a leading cause of the current inversion of materialism, but again I say: this inverted materialism has nothing to do with higher principles, higher knowledge, and the supra-human order.

    In the conception of the "Theory of Mind" it is commonplace to divide the mind into three categories, or three separate parts, something that Dr. Freud very much did: the first is the Conscious mind, that is to say what most people experience as the "default" or normal, really everything that is corporeal and immediate in the mental conception of the world; the second one is the so-called Preconscious mind, that is to say information that you do not actively need to remember, really something akin to stored memory, or simply just memory; and finally, the Unconscious mind, that abysmal and dark place of the infra-human world, filled with secred and repressed memories, urges, and thoughts, artefacts of the mind that all belong to those missing gaps of the continuous mind, or what some may refer to as the subconscious and repressed mind.* Now, this theory of the mind, not to be confused with the concept of "theory of mind" is all well, but the problem here is that Dr. Freud and his proponents attempted to resurrect those uncontrollable urges of the infra-human order, those dark "secrets", those "Satanic" forces, really the undead mind.† Are we not prudent in avoiding these practices, these practises that seem to call for the resurrection of something very vile and dark and something that will lead directly to our own intrapersonal disintegration—the death of our own individual—and something that often hailed from our childhood, something that we indeed had no control over, read "What is Mental Illness?", or should we just allow ourselves to be swept away by this manipulation of the mind, of our own minds? In some ways, one would be correct in labeling this kind of practice as a pseudo-rite or a kind of pseudo-ritual, a pseudo-ritual murder of our soul and in turn ourselves. Again, is this macabre display not enough to dissuade you? It should be, but then there is the slight inconvenience, for the psychoanalysts that is, of having to become initiated into this death cult before being able to practice it. Really, it is certainly the case that most of these people (the psychoanalysts) are lost to time and to history, their souls have become solidified in a state of absolute despair, and to think that some people believe that this state of despair is a sign of some kind of enlightenment?

* Again, here our working supposition is that of a continuous and "complete" mind without any "missing gaps" or hidden alleys, a mind that is truly one. Or at least it would seem quite obvious that Dr. Freud's conception of the mind calls for this, a point that I may have occasion to return to at a different time.

† Mind my usage of the term "Satanic", for it should be allowed to represent the chaotic, particularly in this context, read "My Views on Disease and Decay".
