psyche

Through these three texts Freud had grappled with the problem of finding a description for the content as well as the apparatus of the psyche. With the 1925 'Note,' Freud arrives at last at a description of the psyche as a 'space of writing.' (spivak in on grammatology : 39)

is a natural phenomenon. All aspects of the psyche, even those which seem pathological or destructive, actually serve the function of furthering our psychological development.

is a non-spatial universe concealing an untold abundance of images which have accumulated over millions of years of living development and become fixed in the organism.

I can only gaze with wonder and awe at the depths of and heights of our psychic nature. Its non-spatial universe conceals an untold abundance of images which have accumulated over millions of years of living development and become fixed in the organism. . . .Beside this picture I would like to place the spectacle of the starry heavens at night, for the only equivalent of the universe within is the universe without... and just as I reach this world through the medium of the body, so I reach that world through the medium of the psyche. Carl Jung

is existence itself and physical existence is a mere inference, since we know of matter only in so far as we perceive psychic images mediated by the senses.

Not only does the psyche exist, but it is existence itself. It is an almost absurd prejudice to suppose that existence can only be physical. . . We might well say, on the contrary, that physical existence is a mere inference, since we know of matter only in so far as we perceive psychic images mediated by the senses. Carl Jung

is in countless ways archaic in the civilized human being just as our human body connects us with the mammals and displays numerous relics of earlier evolutionary stages going back to even the reptilian age.

Every civilized human being, whatever his conscious development, is still an archaic man at the deeper levels of his psyche. Just as the human body connects us with the mammals and displays numerous relics of earlier evolutionary stages going back to even the reptilian age, so the human psyche is likewise a product of evolution which, when followed up to its origins, show countless archaic traits. Carl Jung

is not just an evolutionary product but also the product of explosive and traumatic moments in archaic history (i.e. Murders, revolts, new religions).

Freud conceives of the psyche not just as an evolutionary product but as the product of explosive, punctuated, traumatic moments in archaic history-- murders, revolts, the creation of new religions and moral codes, moments that have escaped the constraints of logical thought and have become innate, a part of a primal unconscious or what he would later call the id.'
