Interpretation by W.Theaux
|
|
The Anticipated Assertion of Certainty (AAC) as fundamental to Psychoanalysis is repressed along with it - except for C.Pope who repressed only the later. This raw absence unveils what Psychoanalysis represses. It summons Theaux to mention the role of biochemistry in the ability to analyse Psyche. Once this perspective cleared, contribution from Pope to knowledge of libido and naming are acknowledged. |

Anticipated Assertion of
Certainty
It
is because I consider that Charles Pope may have completed, for our new
mentality, the general picture of the Ancient World, that I am considering
to make a harsh review of his essential work.
Anyone
who understand Psychoanalysis knows that I shall expose myself along, with
the pomp of paranoia--since at the present time of its consciousness in progress,
the human knowledge reflects its own 'paranoiac foundation'. I shall try
to to this in a concise manner.
Charles Pope's Living in Truth misses the opportunity to add certain information to its remarkable work. Thus his view establishes a high platform, but not yet the continuous ascending path which has to be the mode of conscious evolution. Reason for this is found in the absence, resistance or insufficiency of an integrated concept of Psyche in his method. I shall show that he is very close to resolve this lack, he still expresses it as a symptom.
The material for this analysis is found in the two paragraphs Introduction of the fourth essay ("Surest Signs of Piety"). In the first paragraph Pope acknowledges the pre-eminence of Psychoanalysis in the identification of Akhnaton during the 20th century but, while he mentions Sigmund Freud and Karl Abraham as the first authors (and psychoanalysts) who tackled this enigma, he does not make precise that their follower in the matter, Immanuel Velikovksy, was also Psychoanalyst and Freud's student. Therefore his acknowledgement of an advance of Psychoanalysis by some 60 years before the University in regards to the Amarnian elucidation, is somewhat altered by this omission (note 10).
In
the second paragraph of his Introduction, Pope indicates 1990 as for the
date when "the correspondence between Akhenaten and Moses was brought
once again under scholarly consideration" with Ahmed Osman's
"Moses: Pharaoh of Egypt." In a way it is true, for by method
scholars only consider as knowledge what is scholarly published; but from
a deeper view, it is misleading. For it seems to indicate that the "third
generation Freudian Psychoanalyst William Theaux"--as Pope mentions it
secondarily--stood on Osman's foundation in order to identify Moses with
Oedipus after Velikovksy. Such chronology would be wrong, for the identification
of Akhnaton-Moses-Oedipus has been achieved and made public by 1985, prior
to Osman's publication.
It
is true that Osman brought the Egyptological confirmation to
"ORDONC" and "Akhenaton ou la Veritable Identite de Moise
et d'Oedipe" (and other books written by Theaux and published by
UNEFPE). These two references (with others) prove that the identification
of Akhnaton-Moses had been achieved by the sole means of Psychoanalysis.
It could be a tragic error to believe that the triple identity
began first with Egyptology, then followed by Psychoanalysis
(note 20). The truth is that this discovery has been made
entirely by Psychoanalysis, and the initial difficulty of Osman, still holding
back Egyptology, indicates better where resistance comes from.
This
present claim for an acknowledgement is paranoia at first sight, but a closer
observation will indicate better the complex distribution of this
psychopathological structure of knowledge:
Pope's
work is structured in a way which puts an essential importance on DNA findings.
If DNA analysis of egyptian mummies confirms the model that he has prophesied
for the 18th Dynasty, he will have proven the eminent and functional power
of the written memory of the Bible. The other way round would not be so powerful.
For if these genetic discoveries were first made, it would just open to
indecisive debate for knowing if the Bible really knew.
To summarize this situation, a logically timed process of certification of Truth is vividly understood by Pope who lends his essays towards DNA confirmation But on the other hand, he does not acknowledge the similar case of anteriority with the Psychoanalytic identification of Akhnaton, Moses and Oedipus. The third Psychoanalyst's interpretation before Osman's confirmation is equivalent to Pope's identification before DNA testing. In omitting, eluding or repressing, the antecedence of Psychoanalysis over Egyptology, Pope denies his own discourse. This is a symptom and has several meanings. The most obvious is the general repression of Psychoanalysis. |
Drugs & Hormones in Primal Scene
Repression
of Psychoanalysis is something natural as long as Psychoanalysis does not
belong to the cultural standards. In fact, in our present time the
individualistic practice Psychoanalysis is even more anti-cultural than any
standard. Psychoanalysis that people usually know is a twisted tools
of repression (see how a representative of the established
freudian repression still treats the Oedipian case). Before than
Psychoanalysis recuperates a positive drive Pope has at least one good reason
for repressing the Freudian process. But the consequences are worrying. Confusion
about the causal anteriority of Psychoanalysis does not allow to know what
has triggered the immense activity which has occupied Pope's mind during
the early year 1999.
Fortunately
the Summary of Living in
Truth permits to suspect that the revelation of the Greek memory
(of Akhnaton's life as Oedipus) has preceded a sharp increase in Pope's talent.
This is all that he gives for a live proof of the importance of the
Hellenic information beyond the Bible. Nevertheless, he is suggesting why
we should take great care to deliver the Oedipian formula to the population
at the same time with the dual identity of Akhnaton-Moses. This is what I
am fighting for since 1990, when I met Osman and realized that his dual
identification was supporting Freud's own resistance and its tragic ideology
of a civilization which would be ruled by murders and possessed by death
drive (Thanatos). As a positive effect it draw my attention towards a possible
weakness of my analysis.
I must
confess that I was aware that I was keeping hidden obvious observations--for
I was afraid that they could aggravate the general disregard for Psychoanalysis
and make my voice even less admissible than ever. However with the recent
final rejection by American Psychoanalytic Association
of the most achieved formulation
of my analytic project, I am more less concerned with its bad reputation,
and I believe anyhow that it is time for releasing what must be said
about one of our major contemporary taboo:
There
is something which lacks in an absolute manner in Charles Pope's expose.
This is not specific to him. It seems to be universally lacking over Academia.
One must make therefore a preliminary observation: Academia or the University
are political tools. When a society experiences an ideological phase, the
University is entirely subjected to this ideology. In the past, this has
been known as the Inquisition. In the present time this process is again
active for Human history is experiencing a new opportunity for Rebirth
(Renaissance) or Awakening. Notably, it regards drugs/hormones industry.
There are other domains where it is active , abortion which will be considered
as equivalent to the sacrifice of magicians on stakes, satanization of cloning
and veto on artificial pregnancies. Since these aspects of divinity through
human life are so controversial, the question of the drugs/hormones industry
will be enough to deal with in the present occasion.
Three
points must be also mentioned. As a Psychiatrist, I have no bad prejudices
against drugs/hormones, which are a major components of the Western medicine
of the mental being. Being from a generation which stood at the hinge of
the mutation of Psychiatry, and witnessing when I was student what was still
the insane asylum prior to the use of chemicals, then witnessing the blessing
that these substances have been against atrocious suffering, I see myself
also today at the hinge of an immense social mutation and the perspective
of serious catastrophes unless we find a treatment for the balance between
mankind and its ecology. Knowing the positive aspect of the use of chemical
in regards to the individual behavior in its environment, I can contemplate
that similar positive effects can be provided at a mass level. |
Scholars,
and Pope in this instance, must deal today with the evidence that Moses was
related to a said 'leprosy' plague. But chemistry laboratories have brought
the proof that similar substance as LSD were used in the Antiquity (it has
been proved for instance in relation with Demeterian cults). It is not my
intention to specify all the details which make this observation so compelling
(Sandoz laboratory has made conclusive studies). But the clues are so strong
that Akhnaton distributed to a 'mixed multitude' the chemical which helps
to 'see the gods' (which was previously limited to elitist initiation), that
the absence of any mention of the fact or its possibility by our scholars,
lifts the probability to the level of certainty. The same laboratories for
instance, which produces LSD, describe the effects of poorly refined substance,
as causing similar pathology (necrosis/amputation) as of the global description
of Moses and his company "who wished to see the God(s)." |
Paranoiac Foundation and
libido
The
original biochemical (cybernetic) atonian politic is important to be known
today, for our society has recently made choice for worrisome options, when
it statanized the use of drugs/hormones in the population. We understand
very well that the doctrine of freedom needs certain restriction that our
rich politicians help to maintain. It is fair; people do not pay taxes in
order to get drugs! But when the biosphere will impose important modification
of human behavior, or destructive pain if not its mere extinction, we shall
benefit from the help of a miraculous planet management by computers. At
that moment, these machine may indicate that the use of certain drugs/hormones
by humankind may be favorable. It would be helpful if we prepare this possibility
with a clear historical knowledge of the reason why Akhnaton was so unfortunately
repressed - e.g.his application of the Alchemy of the brain at a mass level.
The 'deceased mixed multitude' of Moses was a group of people who had 'seen
the Gods', who had irremediably developed their political consciousness,
and also who were sick from this chemistry which was approximate and therefore
dangerous in those times.
Options
will be made to decide if Psychoanalysis has to be repressed because it releases
the repressed or because it fails its mission for truth.. In both cases,
I hope that this will clarify what Pope left ambiguous, for then one will
fully appreciate the brilliant opening that he promises. After its provoking
biocybernetic question, is a work which offers two more classical
Psychoanalytical observations about libido and naming.
We
exchanged information and points of view about
psychology of leadership in the Ancient World. The role of the feminine is
not clear, and I found hard to believe that so many powerful dictators (according
to Pope's description) had accepted to try, during limited period of time,
to procreate with a wife but, when they were unsuccessful, accepted to send
her to a rival brother and thus losing most of their own succession right.
Unless the structure was controlled by women, I imagine that the unsuccessful
patriarch would have sought for the help of an officer or an accomplice,
and keep in silence all at once: wife, heir, honor, wealth and power.
Pope
answered
Regarding "heirs,"
I am trying to convey the Bible's treatment of the
subject, not necessarily
what was reality. The impression that I get from
the Bible is that genetic
integrity was the most sacred thing to those
people. Their own divinity
depended on it. To cheat, as you suggested,
probably would not
have occurred to them.
This answer left me without arguments. Very simple explanations often tend to be correct. In this case, the science of the mind will have to explain why and how this sort of 'faith' was possessing entire families of Kings.
If Pope's explanation is correct the current science of psychology, would describe this kingship mentality closer to a delusion than of a neurotic compulsion. It is possible; the paranoiac foundation of the human personality has been one of the hypothesis which has been responsible for Lacan being 'excommunicated' (sic) from all kind of institutions (thus fulfilling at least one indicator of Truth). Moreover, such human founding pathos could have well combine with a reproductive social organization controlled by women. This would thus provide with both a psychological and sociological explanation. |
Lacanian Naming
confirmed
The
second mention about Charles' essay should make Lacanians enthusiastic. It
is the generative story of Thutmose III according to Pope. If it is proven
correct, it will bring another confirmation to the dissident Psychoanalysis.
Considering again the paranoiac foundation, it theorically gives way to the Oedipus Complex around a hinge which is make of a trine structure of fatherhood. Lacan described it as Symbolic, Imaginary and Real. Respectively Abram, Thutmose II and Thutmose I would have fathered the funding King Patriarch Thutmose III this way, thus asserting what the theory presumed. |
Once
again we see how important is a clear notion of the sequence in the
declaration of Truth. For if it was not clear that Lacan has preceded
Charles Pope - that casuistic of Fatherhood would have not been
confirmed by Pope/Egyptology (Psychoanalysis would be seen as a sophistic
essay after Egyptology instead). Likewise, this is why it is important that
Charles Pope has been able to publish before the DNA test results. And also
why it is important to know that Zenon Kelper had published noticeably before
any Egyptologists the identification of Akhnaton as Moses and Oedipus.
Precession
in the certainty may have a triggering effect on the development of science
and this understanding opening toward Ecological management orientations.
As I was awaiting for Osman's confirmation which opened - as Casaubon's
repetition - the avenue of Trismegistus identification, Lacan was awaiting
for Pope's naming of the Father of kings, and Pope for DNA confirmation.
This sequential chronology also bases the necessity of Analysis before
managing one's environment with the logic of Desire. It is the same structure
of time that draws the new mystery: why did a Bible kept memory so well?
This presence of the past is not explained by the 'heir' syndrome as it may
be disclosed so far. The answer will probably have to be found through theology,
and/or linguistic, and/or Psychoanalysis again.

Note 10:The problem for historians, at that point, is that such a long period of time this early insight stagnated, that one may wonder if this Psychoanalytic domination was not aggravating the natural resistance against a new knowledge. But this will do a third degree of analysis that I do not intend to presently; I am noticing now how Psychoanalysis is simply acknowledged as a fact.The problem for historians, at that point, is that such a long period of time this early insight stagnated, that one may wonder if this Psychoanalytic domination was not aggravating the natural resistance against a new knowledge.

Note 20:In this analysis, I do not take into account the initial discovery (circus 1900) of Akhnaton and Amarna which allowed his identification by three generations of Psychoanalysts (from 1912 to 1985). This option is based on the observation that Egyptology has not really been a science until 1990 (A.Osman, J.Assman). Before Egyptology adds History to its Archeology, it is not a science but a technique for classification - this has been detailed in a Amarna eGroup thread.
