Ever wish you met Einstein?

[Karadeniz]

3. I was fascinated by the recent post about the correspondence between Einstein and Freud.

Between the two of them, they were arriving at the knowledge I've been preaching lo these several years. They wanted to understand man's split personality, good and bad, creative and destructive, loving and hateful, peaceful and bellicose. Freud called the positive side Eros, didn't name the negative side, but why not Ares? Freud determined that Ares would always be present, making trouble.

I'd talk to Einstein about my own experience, seeing soul and witnessing Mind, about Mind not needing our physical senses to perceive the physical (out of body, near death accounts), about Mind and soul existing without the body, about Mind responding to both the brain, which is responsible for the Ares urges, and the soul, producing what Freud called Eros.

Jesus recognized this same split personality. His teachings promote the development of the soul so we can counter the influence of the brain (greed, lust, materialism, racism, hate, etc.). Jesus often used financial terms... pay, interest, debt...to describe soul status in the parables. When he said that the poor would always be with us, he wasn't really talking economic status. He was talking tiny soul status. In Freud's letters, he concluded the same thing.

I'd love to talk to Einstein!!!
