Individuated Energy Production (IEP) “BUT IF WE UNDERSTAND ANYTHING OF THE UNCONSCIOUS, WE KNOW THAT IT CANNOT BE SWALLOWED. WE ALSO KNOW THAT IT IS DANGEROUS TO SUPPRESS IT, BECAUSE THE UNCONSCIOUS IS LIFE AND THIS LIFE TURNS AGAINST US IF SUPPRESSED, AS HAPPENS IN NEUROSIS. CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS DO NOT MAKE A WHOLE WHEN ONE OF THEM IS SUPPRESSED AND INJURED BY THE OTHER. IF THEY MUST CONTEND, AT LEAST LET IT BE A FAIR FIGHT WITH EQUAL RIGHTS ON BOTH SIDES.
