ORGANIC ANALYSIS OF REPRESSION AND OF THE FACTOR OF RESISTANCE
FROM THE SOCIETAL VIEWPOINT

The resolution of repression or resistance is regarded by Freud
as the essential problem of psychoanalysis--Neurosis, according
to Freud, is life’s repression of sexuality--According to an
organismic attitude repression and sexuality are concomitant
and are equally the results in the individual of organic
disunity and interruption of function--The biology of
resistance is found in the breach in individual’s continuity
with life as confluent, organic whole--Health or disease,
psychologically or physiologically, depends upon whether the
cell functions integrally or separatively, congruently or
resistantly--In social fabric each element is against each--In
our unconsciousness we deny the reality of this biological
phylum embodied in our organic consciousness and underlying the
processes of our individual mentation--Sexuality, currently
confused with sex, is egoistic, infantile expression and
antithesis of organic expression of sex--Only continuity of the
confluent subjective sphere can make possible an analysis that
will synthesize the scattered elements of personality.
