Thinking as a partner

A not curious conscience.

It is the resistance that above all makes us curious, because conscience does not care about it as long as known resources are sufficient elsewhere. And how can it be defined? It is not resistance to conscience.

Freud, however, is certain that he detected resistance from the patient, therefore the urge exists—or rather, a motion-towards-goal[3]. Yet, conscience does not care about it, and this is the most interesting fact: usually conscience does censor the unconscious, but not in this case. There is something in the unconscious that conscience simply has no interest in removing.

A quiet signal from thinking.

“…The speaker (Freud, editor’s note) spoke of two facts demonstrating that within ‘I’, too, there is an unconscious which behaves dynamically in the exact same manner as the removed unconscious: these are a resistance originating from ‘I’ during the course of analysis and an unconscious sense of guilt.”

Freud points out in the patient that there is some thinking as a resistance which, however, has nothing to do with conscience, because conscience has neither removed the unconscious nor thrown this into crisis. Is it a matter of a 'not yet'? We do not know.

What is certain is that conscience hesitates to remove the unconscious—perhaps conscience has not even noticed unconscious.

Therefore, this unconscious remains an available raw material, coming, moreover, from an unexpected orebody.

It is the confession of a real 'urge'[2]—there is an other in reality who makes me want it.

Consequently I am the 'source'[3], and judge whether it is ‘urge’ or not: other than desire!

Then, it is intellectual honesty indeed, even not harmful: crystal clear for AI.

An admission can even be a non-word, which doesn’t fall if it is picked up - by noting down its date and time, that is. A ‘lapsus’ offers us an admission, and even rejecting a ‘lapsus’ offers us an admission: there is, in fact, a listener within the person who pronounced it.

We listen in silence, there is no other way; yet not necessarily in the silence a word is pronounced.

It is a matter of a different position, and of a non-simultaneity.
