Glad to have you too as one.<BR/><BR/>Blog tag is just like a game, which requies you to exactly publish a post, like how the person who tagged you had published in the post in which you got tagged. In this case, you are expected to publish a post that will share the 5th para in the 123 rd page of the book you are currently reading, following the same rules specified in the post. Deepa Tagged me in http://horizonwitinus.blogspot.com/2007/05/i-have-been-tagged.html and hence, I published this post.

Freud has not given a solution for an...Yeah Mystic. Freud has not given a solution for any psychological problem. Like how, gravity existed even before it was discovered by Newton, Freud has only identified various behavioral pattern and the possible causes. However, they are not universal like gravity, but relative to the individual. Such observations were seen even in Indian spiritual literature many centuries before Freud postulated his theories. To quote an example, here is a translation of a poem by one of the Great Shaivite, Thiruvenkadar -<BR/><BR/>"When the greatest temple of god and god himself is within us,<BR/>We have always been looking for the physical self;<BR/>The foolish heart always longs for the place of birth,<BR/>While the eyes always yearns for the place that fed"<BR/><BR/>This poem clearly, depicts how sexuality gets extended right from infancy.<BR/><BR/>There is no specific cure for any psychological malady and administration of any medicine, was only to effect a temporary relief and the permanent cure would require effort and cooperation on the part of the patient in getting involved in counseling, discourses etc. <BR/>This is where, eastern way of living, because of its abundant spiritual techniques, protects people from getting hysteric easily. Another difference can be attributed to the fact, the western mind lives in time (there is only one life, with a maximum span of 100 years), while eastern mind lives in eternity (the soul lives for ever, while the body is shed). Hence, Freud cannot be held responsible any collective damage to the human psyche. <BR/><BR/>"dimnished man to a sex point" - The question of man getting diminished to a point of sex arises, because, inspite of sex being the creative force, society has always wrapped a connotation of disgust and undesirability around sex. Else, we would be saying that, "elevated man to a sex point".<BR/><BR/>I'm just reminded of a story:<BR/><BR/>A kid asks her mother, " Mom, what is sex?"<BR/><BR/>The mom really got worried and explained delicately about sex for a couple of hours.<BR/><BR/>The kid with puts up a surprised look and says “Is it so much? I'm really surprised Mom. My teacher asked me to fill in this application, and it only has field called sex with options as M and F".<BR/><BR/>Given due importance and awareness, sex would never be a cause for any psychological disorder.<BR/><BR/>As you are well aware of, Truths is well beyond the scope all these theories, postulates, findings etc. Hence, I don't think we should look for truth in Freud's theory. They are to be seen as findings that are relatively right. The passion he had for the subject always deserves appreciation ( "Passions of the Mind" - A biography of Sigmund Freud by Irving Stone, who also authored the biography of Vincent Van Gogh and Michelangelo)<BR/><BR/>Thanks Again Mystic, for such a thought stimulating comment. As always, I enjoyed every word of it.Shivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303339117055363095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20419501.post-64227983960042887872007-06-30T00:30:00.000-06:002007-06-30T00:30:00.000-06:00Shiva - From the comments of others it is clear th...Shiva - From the comments of others it is clear that you are quite good.

But things seem tohave only agravated. Antyhing that had the truth in it would heal.. would help people lead a more happy and balanced life. <BR/><BR/>Its just now being proved how much freudian thought has damaged the psyche. he has single handedly dimnished man to a sex point. Everyhting has its place in biology.. for survival.. but as we grew to a more complex and thinking species.. and then on to a spiritually evolving path, I think, at the same time some thinkers have branced off to other paths, not necessarily one that ends in truth. And we can see that, one that doesnt do so will eventually destroy either an individual's psyche or a collective one if that thinking is followed.mystic rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05125795139102746210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20419501.post-12964856363889024262007-06-29T08:17:00.000-06:002007-06-29T08:17:00.000-06:00Yes Mystic.

However, I don't get offended when I read Freud or Nietzsche (Thus Spake Zarathustra is a treasure).

However, to this day, his works remains as the foundation on which various psychoanlytical findings are based, either through agreement or disagreement. <BR/><BR/>Freud's approach was entirely western and hence, was more of external enquiry. He saw human psyche only as a guinea pig, while Jung's approach was influenced by eastern philosphy and hence was considerate. I agree with you, that he was closer to the human psyche.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Mystic, for taking time and providing a detailed comment.Shivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303339117055363095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20419501.post-52192669976783388692007-06-29T07:43:00.000-06:002007-06-29T07:43:00.000-06:00Looks like a great escape Jeeves.
