THE PRE-ESSENTIAL POINT ABOUT HISTORY

we are made in the image of god ... but god is three ... so we are three ... and freud on this point provides some clarity for us all ... but he's wrong about the superego ... it doesn't blindly bind ... it binds to support weakness ... the tutelage of the mind by the spirit in order to bring a discordant matter back under control is the history not only of man but of history ... of course ... and well ... and this is the christian message ... we start at the beginning where something is wrong ... not just a birth pang or some growing-pains we're meant to get through ... but pangs and pains in general and at the start ... not just a big bang in the beginning and then trying to contain it ... but us as a contributing cause ... was it something we said ... unde hoc malum ... that's the devil's sneer ... you can talk about all the beauty you want ... all the lovely desire ... but there's still that sinking feeling ... something is wrong something something is very very wrong ... it's wrong ... it's right here ... it predates our presence ... old old before its time ... that's the fight ... that thing swirling in the id ... and if we had a mind just once we'd smash it and hold our head up high
