|♀︎| The id (Latin for "it",German: Es) |☉|
is the disorganized part of the personality
structure containing basic human ♀︎
instinctual drives: ☉
♀︎ Id is the only component
of personality that is present from birth;
it is the source of our ****** needs, wants, desires,
& impulses, [ | ♀︎ ] particularly our ******, aggressive drives.
The id contains the libido, which is the primary
source of instinctual force that is unresponsive
to the demands of reality:
The id acts according to the "pleasure principle"
—the psychic force that motivates the tendency
to seek immediate gratification of any impulse—
defined as seeking to avoid pain
or un-pleasure (not "displeasure") ☉♀︎
aroused by increases in instinctual tension | ☉ | According to Freud
id is unconscious by definition:
♀︎♀︎♀︎♀︎
It is the dark, supposedly inaccessible part of our brain; the personality,
what little we know of it, we have learned
from our studies of dreams and of course
the construction of neurotic symptoms,
and most of that of a negative character
can be described only in direct contrast to the
ego; [ ],
we approach the id with analogies: [ ] ♀︎
we call it chaos,
a cauldron ☉♀︎ ♀︎ full of seething "excitations"
...It is filled
with energy reaching it from the instincts
but has no organization, producing a unified collective will,
w/ only the striving to bring about the satisfaction
of the instinctual needs to subject
to the observance of & compel
obedience to
the pleasure principle:
♀︎
In the id:
...contrary impulses exist side by side,
without cancelling each other out. ...
There is nothing in the id that [ ] could be compared with negation;
nothing in the id
which corresponds to the idea of time.
Developmentally, ☉ id precedes
( ), ego;
i.e., the psychic apparatus begins
at birth as an undifferentiated id,
part of which then develops into the ☉ structured ego
Thus, the id:♀︎
♀︎ ♀︎
...contains everything that is inherited,
that is present at birth, & is laid down in its constitution—
above all; therefore, the instincts,
which originate from the somatic organization,
and which find a first psychical expression here
☉ (in the id) in (ideal) forms unknown to "us"; [ | ]
The mind of a newborn child is regarded
as completely "id-ridden", in the sense that it is a mass of instinctive drives and impulses and needs immediate satisfaction; ☉
The id "knows no judgments of value:
no good and evil, no morality; ...Instinctual cathexes seeking discharge—that, in our view, is all there is in the id."
It is regarded as "the great reservoir of libido",
the instinctive drive to create—the life instincts
that are crucial to pleasurable survival;
Alongside the life instincts come the death instincts—
the death drive which Freud articulated
relatively late in his career ( ♀︎
) in "the hypothesis of a death instinct,
the task of which is to lead organic life back into the inanimate state."
For Freud, "the death instinct would thus seem
to express itself —though probably only in part—
as an instinct of destruction directed against
the external world and other organisms" [Many religions use images to
"represent" God in icons for art or worship]
The monad, an ancient symbol ♀︎
for the metaphysical Absolute. ♀︎ Early science,
particularly geometry and astrology and astronomy,
connected to the divine for most medieval scholars;
many believing there was something intrinsically ☉
"divine" or "perfect" that could be found in circles: ☉
In monotheistic thought, God is conceived ♀︎ ☉
of as the Supreme Being and the principal object of faith: ☉
The concept of God, as described by theologians, ☉
commonly includes the attributes of omniscience (all-knowing),
♀︎ omnipotence (unlimited power),
omnipresence (present everywhere),
as having an eternal and necessary existence;
Depending on one’s kind of theism, ♀︎♀︎♀︎♀︎♀︎ ♀︎
these attributes are used either in way of analogy, or in a literal sense as
distinct properties of the God; ♀︎♀︎♀︎
♀︎ ( )
God is most often held to be incorporeal (immaterial)
In-corporeality & ♀︎ ☉ corporeality of God
are related to the conceptions of a transcendent
being outside nature & immanence;
the being in nature & the world of God,
with positions of synthesis such as the
♀︎ "immanent transcendence": ♀︎ | ♀︎♀︎♀︎
♀︎
Some religions describe ☉
♀︎ God without reference
to gender, while others use masculine terminology,
using such terms as "Him" or "Father,"
| and some religions (such as Judaism) | |
| attribute only a purely grammatical "gender" to God: ♀︎
| through [ ] aggression; ♀︎ Freud considered that
"the id, the whole person, originally includes ♀︎
all the instinctual impulses; the destructive ♀︎
♀︎ instinct as well", ☉
♀︎ ♀︎ as Eros or the life instincts: ♀︎♀︎♀︎♀︎♀︎ ☉ ☉ ☉ ☉♀︎
Monad from the Greek word monos ☉
or μονάς (from the word μόνος, which ♀︎
means "one", "single", or "unique"), ♀︎
was referred to by the Greek ♀︎♀︎ ☉
philosophers as "The First", "The Seed", ♀︎
"The Essence", "The Builder", ♀︎♀︎ ☉
"The Foundation."♀︎ They also called it ♀︎
"Unity." Source: ☉ "Divine Proportion" ☉♀︎♀︎♀︎
