Thinking as a partner

Annoying, irritating, or beneficial ? Welcome is the wind that moves the salt pane system. In the picture : a detail from the ‘Saline dello Stagnone’, Marsala (Trapani).

“… from a descriptive point of view there are two types of unconscious, while from a dynamic point of view there is only one. …The distinction between conscious and unconscious is ultimately a problem of perception, which must be answered simply with a yes or no; and the act of perception as such, tells us nothing about the reason why something is perceived or not perceived.”[2]

Little to do has one’s perceptual memory with conscious memory: however is the perceptive memory – the one we happen we don’t understand the origin, even when we find it in a night dream – which indicates to us a gap between ‘removed’ and ‘unrealized’. The first in fact as an indispensable raw material, the second as a hallucination.[3]

In short, the economic question arises – as identified first and foremost by Freud - as to whether what I pick up comes in help of me or not : where it is precisely the representation of ‘help’ which we bring to the Court of thinking, whether we admit or not.

“It’s easy to make explicit the Freudian implicit opposition to gnostic duplicity of ‘I’ : on the one hand an empirical, fluctuating, miserable, mistified and mistifying ‘I’, perhaps (for what it costs) a ‘sinner’, on the other hand a transcendent or transcendental ‘I’ as one prefers, pure, ‘spark’ of the gods that you search and find in ascetism at the end of which he, or she, will be revealed to himself or herself…”[1]

It’s hard to call it an error, when the errors around distract us for good reason : and it is the essential, unimaginable lever space because it does not involve guilt but a stumble.

Because of the rush to go somewhere.

“… on one side the essence, on the other the work as servant – once established the divorce between essence and work – with the curious consequence that thinking, as work or elaboration, will be on the side of the servant while, on the side of essence, the only thinking that will remain will be a contemplation. Theory that in its non-motion – is nothing other than fixation on the object. That is, pathology again.”[1]

Thinking of solutions move yourself as a partner (not otherwise), the crossroads of one’s faculty to think for appointments is not at all illusory : you bend down to gather yourself in the motion, or to jingle in the mirror.

Are there still those who call ‘latency’ that psychic time that knows no age ?

“This does not mean we push criticism into the opposite doctrine and morality of undeceivement, that is, the solution of disinhabiting the inhabited earth as the only possible form of living.”[1]

Inhabit one’s body, that’s a goal not so obvious as it’s not so obvious your partner[3], a small margin to pick up, it fits just right : until you can listen to what you say and that naive desire you wear as a habit, to dress up a lack that isn’t there. This is also why such work is called analytic.

[3] “It is in a time-two that the other partner, or more than one, can be identified as a favourable physical presence because they allow to satisfy an ex-citement that would otherwise not be possible. Admitting someone as a partner into one’s own principle of pleasure – that is ‘conjugation’ – and processing it as ‘satisfaction’, is a unique and unremitting goal.”, from ‘Ereditare da un bambino.
