We were learning about freud's theory the other day. I don't think too many people still practice his psychoanalytic theory, but most people give him creedence just because he was one of the first to take a deeper look into the human conscious.
But as I was considering his theory, I discovered I really agree with the theory. It was all about different parts of the man and the conflict that exists inside them. Freud's theory is a perfect desription of fallen man without God. The Id is the craven fallen nature of man, pursuing his appetites which drives him into all his ambitions and pleasures. This is the remnant of the God-given desire to purue ultimate joy in God, but man chose to serve the reated thing rather than the Creator. Because man was made in the image of God, we have the moral law written on our hearts. We know right and do not do it. This corresponds to the Superego, in a way. Then there is the Ego, the plane of conscious existence we live on most days. It is the mixing pot of the perverted drives for pleasure meet the surrounding world, yet are kept in check by the conscience and the sense of shame that is God given when we wrap our arms around the waists forbidden things.
Some people think he did enough crack to kill a small horse. maybe he did, but I think he was spot on, though he probably didn't know it.
