By Anthony Stevens

Example text
It’s a rather surprising thing that in the field of psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, conscience is not used very much; but, again, one of the reasons is that conscience is associated with the superego and that’s a disastrous mistake. They are two totally different things—in fact, the superego smothers conscience. In the paper called “An Exegesis of Conscience in the Works of Freud” (Appendix B), I try to show that actually the way Freud uses conscience is almost synonymous with the superego; there are some exceptions, and it’s slightly sad—in a couple of papers he clearly has a different view, but it then seems to get smothered over again.
Thinking of that man—what was it, what was that something that moved in the depths? That thought was a creative thought, and so something that has been created in the depths. In my view, every thought is a creation. By thought I don’t mean when you ingest and repeat a thought that has been communicated to you, but when something is generated from within as a thought, that’s a creation. I think the fundamental difference between a thought and a feeling is that a feeling is not a creation. Now, just to repeat what I said when I was talking about that woman: the question is “why is it feared”, and there is no doubt that it is feared, and I think the reason is the moment that I have a truly creative thought I get a bit more self-knowledge and it’s a bit of self-knowledge that may be very uncomfortable.
If any of you think, “I must take in everything that Neville Symington says”, you will be in a disastrous state because the act of taking in has an implosive effect and keeps the jelly gelatinous. So much for greed. A PATTERN OF MADNESS 49 The other thing is envy.
