Analytic Psychocatharsis

Fragments

The book offers a brief overview of the different types of Yoga and then provides a comparison with the modern science of psychology. Laya Yoga, a comprehensive physical and mental method, seems to be the best pick for such research. Laya Yoga, as it was taught by the late Sant Kirpal Singh (1894-1974) in Sant Mat (Rhadasoami, Ruhani Satsang, India), is widely known as a modern method of meditation in India. There, a yogi is no longer expected to live in the forest, or to subject himself to asceticism. He is rather free to have a normal profession, have a family and children, and is expected to include modern scientific aspects into his teachings. Kirpal Singh's Surat Shabd Yoga (his name for Laya Yoga) is also related to Patanjali's yoga. 'Yoga is chit vritis nirodha', is being in command of 'chit' (the conscious) and 'vritis' (vibrations, transformations), which Kirpal Singh set forth as being equivalent with his 'light' and 'sound' principle in meditation.

We come across such terms and principles in Psychoanalysis, the most significant form of scientific psychology found in the western world today. Especially in French psychoanalyst J. Lacan's version of Freud's drive-structure concept do we find perception drives (drive to perceive, to look) and invocation drives (drive to express, to speak) that function in the unconscious, and which are predominant. Actually, the drive to look is nothing other than 'chit', a kind of primary conscious, an immediate gaze, or better and simply put: an IT SHINES. IT SHINES means that something primarily visual, a primary visual awareness, or primary visibility is constantly at work within and around us. It is at work when images are being produced in dreams as well as in 'light' experiences in meditation, and last but not the least, this is also the most subtle of physical reality.

After all, the conscious is nothing other than a 'reciprocated gaze', a reflection, or a 'primal form' of looking or of perception. In the same way we can substitute 'vritis' with the drive to speak, which is the most substantial form of invocation: the IT SPEAKS. Lacan says: "The unconscious is structured in the same manner a language is...", it behaves like an IT SPEAKS within and around us. A combination of the SHINES and of the SPEAKS actually requires to be taken under command and setting yoga and psychoanalysis into relation with one another supplies us with a simple tool to do just that.

In Surat Shabd Yoga command is taken of the combination of the SHINES and SPEAKS by applying and reverberating mentaly Sanskrit formulations. But for a scientifc method we can use linguistic styled formulations which I call FORMULA-WORDS.

Verbal Expressions

Eva Osler About Analytic Psychocatharsis - Fragments

This dialogic seductive assumption, which he offers us while listening until he can give an acceptable interpretation – isn’t it located at the same level at which the Sat guru promises to let us see God, were we only to follow a few rules he set up?

Unconsciousness - Knot of Signifiers

Eva Osler About Analytic Psychocatharsis - Fragments

Psychoanalysis defines the unconscious as a chain, as a knot of signifiers. The level of SHINES (imaginary, Other’s attention, psychic object) and SPEAKS (symbolic, Super-Ego, Id) are linked and knotted in the unconscious, and we have seen, that this basic formula is also valid for Yoga.

Thinking Methods in ARE - VID - EOR

Eva Osler About Analytic Psychocatharsis - Fragments

In ARE – VID – EOR thinking is – only in a totally formal manner (that’s why I call it a FORMULA-WORD) – very good, because we know exactly how it is constructed. It deals with mathematics, which is a totally formal language.

Sex and ARE - VID - EOR

Eva Osler About Analytic Psychocatharsis - Fragments

Let’s not forget, that desire, for example, is not even meant when concerning the Other’s sexuality, nor the word ‚sex’ (sexual) in the sense of its common usage. The flamboyant illumination of ‘!!SEX!!’ creates much ado, but it’s ‘big smoke with no fire’.

Scientific Procedure for Formula Words 2

Eva Osler About Analytic Psychocatharsis - Fragments

I will now suggest expressing the FORMULA-WORDS as knowledge (and not only as loaded) of the dense, strong and intertwined structure of the 'naming or ‘poetizing' (or as said in the beginning: the ‘good fortune of signing’).

Ökopraxis, für jeden
Wie in den Übersichten auf der Startseite erwähnt, heißt Ökopsychoanalyse gerade nicht mehr nur politisch ökologisch zu denken, sondern einen Zugang zur Ökologie über das eigene Unbewusste, also über sich selbst als einem Spiegel der ökologischen Verhätnisse zu finden. "Das Unbewusste", sagt J. Lacan, "ist die Sprache des Anderen". Gemeint ist erstens nicht unbedingt eine perfekte verbale Sprache, sondern nur die Strukur von Sprache, die allgemeine symbolische Ordnung also. Und mit dem Anderen (geschrieben mit großem A) ist der bedeutende Andere gemeint, so wie es eben durch die gesamte Umwelt einschließlich des Universums dargestellt ist.

Dahinter, wie die Wahrheit des Kenn-Wortes auf das Wissen antwortet.

Weit hinter einem Fluss und noch weiter hinter Wäldern von Jakarandabüschen geht die Sonne auf. Vier Uhr morgens, in Indien oder irgend woanders auf der Welt, wo ich schon gewesen bin und dieses Aufwachen, Herausrascheln und Emporfliegen des Lebens beobachtet habe. Egal, ob es romantisch zu verstehen ist, was ich meine, oder ab es nur einfach deskriptiv ist.

Unsinn der Wissenschaftsdiskussion, Analytische Psychokatharsis als Ausweg

Der Kampf zwischen den Geistes- und Naturwissenschaften ist uralt. Geist oder Stoff, Materie oder Spirit, das - könnte ein heutiger Hamlet sagen - ist hier die Frage.

SPIEGEL- und ECHO-Neuronen, ein umfassendes Konzept zur Analytischen Psychokatharsis

Nicht nur Fledermäuse haben Echo - Neuronen. Auch Informatiker können experimentell ein Netzwerk aufstellen, das aus einer großen Anzahl von neuronenartigen Netzteilen besteht, die sehr komplex miteinander verbunden sind.

SELBSTANALYSE durch Analytische Psychokatharsis.

In der klassischen Psychoanalyse ist der Begriff der Selbstanalyse nicht sehr geschätzt.
