The columns of the blog is now open to a friendly colleague who we echoed in his interest in Buddhism bridges / psychoanalysis offering this reflection on the samsara and Freudian repetition compulsion. Addi thank you to Jack, hoping that his blog continues long therapeutic food for thought. N. Inca I actually had occasion in previous articles you talk about the dimension entirely illusory moïques bodies, for narcissistic Lacanian psychoanalysis, for whom the important exploration of the unconscious is to address the question of elucidating the organizer of fantasy and desire strucure of the subject, not on what he imagines, that it is being defined more by what he imagines perceive the gaze of the Other about it ... and is more representative of what it is his desire for a desire from the Other.
Indeed, for Lacanian psychoanalysis, the effects of truth and subjective relief and liberation that they pose for the subject that it may, lie well beyond the mirage of the ego, proceeding which no effective therapeutic sustainably can rely without cruel disappointments for the consultant, daily exposed to the dimension of painful alienation ego in the eyes of the Other, only to mirror the subject that leaves it take to capture something of the illusion of self. At this same detachment from the illusions of the ego that invites meditation.
Another common point between Buddhism and Lacanian psychoanalysis: the status granted to the question of desire. The Buddha's teaching, renouncing the pleasures of a brilliant court life to move toward asceticism in order to access wisdom, was ultimately to abandon the excesses of asceticism, to choose the Middle Way . Too much of a deprived, you end up not thinking that what we lack, and obsession This lack only increases the sharpness of desire which is becoming as much a slave than wallowing in excess. Psychoanalysis when it examines the question of desire because of the etiology of symptoms stemming from the confrontation with the desire to share emotionally deadening of his total realization what enjoyment, teaches us that it is precisely the highlighted the desire founder of the psychic structure of the subject enables him to find a compromise position with respect to partial satisfaction of the fantasy. Partial realization that allows him to stop being a slave of the symptom which stems from the desire and the impossible its realization. For Buddhism, like psychoanalysis, it is not outright extinction of desire which is sought, but the fact of escape its oppressive effects.
Another commonality between Buddhism and Psychoanalysis emerged during a recent exchange with a reader and late regular blog. Our exchange had indeed led to associate the concept of repetition in psychoanalysis. Freud himself had already isolated what he called "repetition compulsion" in his clinical observations, identifying that some patients could not help but reproduce in reality their history repeating painful situations. It is from this observation that in some people talk of "neurosis of destiny." He began to enter only through the symptom, as well as through our own existential choices, the subject repeats tirelessly something of the tragedy of his disposition to desire.
is in his Metapsychology Freud will light at the end of his long career, another theory of the drives, leaving the first system consists of "self-preservation instincts" and "sex drive" to think his theory through a system composed of the life drive (closer to the function of self) and the death instinct. The death drive that paradoxically serve to push the subject to the initial state of mental well-being prior to its emergence, ie an undifferentiated state fusion between subject and grandfather all. This is related to the principle of homeostasis posing any instinctual arousal is an embarrassment to be evacuated by the discharge of this excitement, to allow the psychic to find peace. We see here besides how soon Freud, it was noted how the enfranchisement of the drive through ... satisfaction.
While many post-Freudian authors, detached themselves from the theory of Freud's death instinct, probably as a result of repression against the evocation of the unbearable Real, Lacan and others wanted demonstrate its central place in the clinical record by linking particular the question of the realization (which is basically driven by the easing of any excitement, and in particular through the realization of the fantasy which structures the subject) and repetition observed in the clinic.
Through each its repetitions, and under cover of the deformation metaphorical specific symptom, which does not directly seize the subject trying to achieve an unconscious fantasy, but ... A miss every time so you do not achieve the satisfaction of his fantasies, and calming the absolute enjoyment that would sign his psychic death.
The subject is thus caught in this eternal repetition where he staged his fantasy through the symptom or the repetition of failures or choices that will put in difficult situations ... From repetition in rehearsal.
Now in Tibetan Buddhism, where one believes in reincarnation, it is part of a cycle in which humans, must advance step by step to the end of his round of those existences which are repeated, to be released. This cycle of repeated existences that man is asked to bend to reach enlightenment in which the issue is called samsara. While Westerners interested in reincarnation, there are the promise of providential escape a final death, they seem to ignore the more often that Samsara is a kind of curse that the repetition of these lives is more a burden than a reward for the Buddhist.
The Curse of Samsara which would be liberated by the Enlightenment, which is also supposed to deliver the meditator illusions of the ego, and slavery of desire, is not unlike what is proposed in psychoanalysis. For indeed, psychoanalysis (Lacan and Freud so - I spend a lot of time to repeat it because many people want to do anything of psychoanalysis), questioning the illusions of ego and inviting the subject to cope with desire that the structure proposed release about the cycle of repetition of the symptom failure and its painful choices.
