1.1. Preface

Good day!

I wish to run a tighter ship this time around. In the middle of chaos. My library and computer are in storage. I don't know where I am moving to, I am at the public library, with none of my references including Freud's Complete Psychological Works, The Standard Edition. So I have to hope that the internet will help me out until I have a home and a research, education and writing center.

It has been about 3 weeks or more since I last wrote an essay. My first 300 plus essays are done, in the LI Archives here, and many I don't even know what I wrote anymore. However, they help me to get here and this time I want my essays to define and describe my most important terms and I don't want to lose anyone in my 'techno-jargon'. I want the communication to be absolutely as clear as I can possibly make it. Obviously, a background in psychoanalysis will help because Freud is my main influencer -- his WHOLE works, not just his 'Classical' essays 1899 and afterwards. His essays between 1892 and 1896 are HUGELY important and should always be taught when teaching Freud. They provide the basis for Freud's 'Energy Theory' -- a theory that is just as relevant and important today as it was when he wrote it. Sometimes writers and theorists reject their own work that should not have been rejected. They change or modify theories in such a way that they leave the old theory or theories behind, and/or in some cases (which would have been the case with Freud's letters to Fliess if he had had the opportunity to destroy them before they became public), a writer might become embarrassed and ashamed of the amount of 'personal stuff' in whatever the work is that becomes public -- I have done that in a few cases and butchered the essay in the process if I leave any 'sterile' part of it remaining public.

I will still thrown in some of my random, impulsive, spontaneous essays to mix into 'the stew' here. But, mainly, I want a well-structured, well-organized collection of essays to leave behind me here. Anything less than that will be a colossal disappointment for me.

I have gone back to re-reading an introductory work on Ludwig Wittgenstein, born in Vienna, 1889, about 3 years old when Freud was 32 (1892) and just starting his long odyssey of writing in psychoanalysis, leaving neurology behind him but not without putting a partial imprint in neurology that, albeit unfinished (Project For a Scientific Psychology, 1895), the main important ingredients that linked his neurology with his newly evolving 'psycho-analysis', can be easier read in Freud's 1894 'The Neuro-Psychoses of Defense'. I happen to think that this was one of Freud's best pieces of work, and the funny thing was about reading it, was as Freud was relating the essay to the problem of 'hysteria', 'obsessional neurosis', and 'paranoia', I was relating it to my cirrhosis as well as my mom's diabetes. All 'dysfunctions' involved 'breakdowns in the energy metabolism cycle'. 'Blocking', 'clogging', and 'things running amok' along 'different abnormal pathways' -- also failures in 'homeostatic balance' -- either 'too much' or 'too little' of something -- these were the main 'pathological agents' if you will. Or to use the old technical terms that I still use, 'neurotic agents' and even 'neuro-psychotic agents' as in 'the neuro-psychoses of defense' is a term that disappeared, to my knowledge, about 1896, certainly before 1900.

I am not very good at sticking to my 'Table of Contents' but I would like to stick to this one as much as possible.
