- George Kozma:
- FREUDIPUS
-
- It is not up-to-date in a post modern age to speak about the Truth or about
- Essentials, but hopefully it will become clear, why I must try it once
- again. In the last three thousand years the majority of the civilizations
- have relegated to the background of the Jewish component of their origin:
- Christians and Moslems deny their Jewish part - as Freud would have put it:
- they commit patricide, killing their "father."
- Of course, Freud himself writes in an assimilationist mood - denying
- himself his Jewish tradition, when he stresses, (in his essay entitled:
- "Moses") that the origin of Judaism's unitarian God-belief stems from
- Egyptian sources (like Ekhnatons'Aton-religion), so Jews only projected
- this central figure to their "mountain demon," called Yahve.
-
- Freud never mentions, that Oedipus - his main hero (whose name, according
- to Graves, meaning Big-Foot, derives really from Oedi-phallos - has had an
- Eastern ancestor (called Kadmos, meaning Eastern), a descendant of the son
- of Noah. Maybe a Jewish family? (Or not quite, if they stem from Noah's
- son, Kana'an and Cham, who cut off his father's testicles.) Interestingly,
- Freud never mentions the tragic fate of this family's members: Kadmos-
- descendant Tantalos, who offers his son, Pelops, to the gods - so that
- Poseidon falls in love with him. The son of Pelops is pursued lovingly by
- Laios, the father of Oedipus. The other sons of Pelops are also sacrificing
- their sons - to give them as a meal to their father... Freud only mentions,
- that he is raised in a foreign environment: unwittingly he acts against the
- taboo of patricide and incest - which are central in the Jewish Decalogue,
- by the way. He never makes it explicit, that his central myth (Oedipus) is
- based on a homo-erotic family saga - one of the main taboos of Jewish-based
- religions (although there are arguments pointing to the Persian-Iranian
- origin of this homophobic asceticism.)
-
- Why is it relevant that for most of the time, no thinker - and among them,
- not even Freud, who is one of the few thinkers, who are having an effect on
- our everyday lives - mentions the fact, that the God of the Jews has a name
- - a Name stemming from the verb "to be" namely. (Even lexicons do know,
- that the name Yehove is related to the verb Haya-Hove-Yihye, meaning was -
- is being - will be, and the Bible explicitly states it: "I will be who I
- will be," says the translation. The Bible does not say "God wants you to be
- generous" - it says, that the Make-Be-er tells you to be generous - at
- least, in this transliteration the question of legitimacy is clear: the
- Lord of Being (or Changing, Transforming for that matter) "has"
- jurisdiction about all facets of being (supposing it - or He - exists
- somehow independently from the rest of existence - or Creation - itself.)
- Because "it" is intertwined with everything else, "it" (the text) stresses
- the importance of "signs" (in Hebrew it is "tsioon"), that remind us of
- this central existential Being-Name. We are "echoing" "Him" - in Hebrew it
- rhymes interestingly to the people1s name: "yehoodi"-Jewish. (Hod means
- echo.)
- Many philosopher (from Iustinus to Pseudo-Dyonysios, until Schleiermacher
- and Sartre, from Augistinus, Duns Scotus, Averroes, Avicenna, until Abu
- Bakr, or from Parmenides to Master Eckhardt up until Kierkegaard,
- Nietzsche, Sprengler, Jaspers, Heidegger and today Derrida) posits as a
- central entity the Ens, the Nought, the Being, Existence or the Sign, the
- Symbol, - and many religions also arrive to the concept ot an omni-present
- entity (the Creator) : the Khmers in Cambodia use this name in their
- language (U-Bley-U-Nongbhu-Nongthau), the Indonesians (Zanaharee) too, the
- Greeks' Demiourgos, while the gla-gla signs of South African Ibo-s or the
- Finno-Ugrian Shamanic "echoing" and the Chinese Tao's lake-mirror are also
- "echoes."
-
- Freud (in his drive to discredit religion as a neurotic, sick self-
- delusion, which it can be, of course) - together with his century's
- atheistic materialism - wanted to deny the importance of the centrality of
- the concept of "Being" (and also of Transformation), because he wanted to
- arrive to a real transformation in the phantasy-world of each of us. Trying
- to discredit the Judaistic Existence-idol, he operated the same
- (neurotically compulsive) way as many religious believers, who think, that
- if they use (or do not use) certain words, it can - miraculously in a
- wishful way - affect "Reality." Symptomatically, when Freud finds his
- surrogate basic myth - the Oedipus mythologeme - he denies and omits the
- ominous fact about the homo-erotic family story of his hero.
- The main theme - what is a man, what constitutes the human "being" - is
- related to the sexual roles' institution: that is, where we experience
- every day the challenge of positing "who" we are, the identity-question: "I
- Am Who I Am" - which is God's Name.
- The main source of anti-Judaistic tendencies (that have different causes)
- is the unequivocally homophobic and anti-sexual character of the One-God
- religions (and their origin, the Jewish Bible). Freud's omitting
- (censuring) his Jewish tradition and also his partial rendering of the
- Oedipus myth are two facets of the same coin: the instinctual ambivalence
- and deep bisexuality in many humans, or in many of us. It is quite
- interesting that Freud comes to this very same conclusion in spite
- of his own double denial.
