What we perceive may not coincide with what we imagined we would feel.[1]

 

 

“Then the negative talent, or non-claim   (‘claim’ is a legal concept) which is the formal condition of the law (law of the motion - editor’s note), consists in making a good not an object, but a negative component of the law itself, to have no-say…  without abolishing oneself as reality (indeed as a condition for not abolishing oneself as a reality).”[2]

To benefit from one’s calling[4]/ 41.

 

The unconscious does not exist before the reality, that is one’s unconscious doesn’t exist before what was perceived.

The existence of the unconscious is a faculty of humans, and not a claimable right, not an automatism : it is the faculty to sanction what is perceived, with pleasure – that remains the primary, or reference sanction – or displeasure, and it remains a faculty even when you resist to it, removing or diverting the sanction to something else and Others not implicated, with damages and pathology.

But at last is up to one’s removed thinking – as it refers only to the perceived – to fish out in the memory all the work done in vain to deviate or remove a very precious and wasted sanction, indelible for life as the perceived one.

Psychoanalysis doesn’t need fantasies.
