Id

From Freud's structure of the psyche, "Id" is the unorganised and untamed part of the psyche that contains our most primitive drives.

"We all approach the id with analogies: we call it a chaos, a cauldron full of seething excitations... It is filled with energy reaching it from the instincts, but it has no organisation, produces no collective will, but only a striving to bring about the satisfaction of the instinctual needs subject to the observance of the pleasure principle."
Freud, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis (1933)


"Recreation of the Id" by Robert Panzullo
(Brilliant artist. You can see more of his work here.)


The term "Id" originates from Latin, meaning literally "that". (This may better explain the valedictory insignia on my previous entry). I like the simplicity.

I'm fascinated by what I find fascinating.
