LOL! I found a Freud action figure at a shop in NYC and gave it to my psychotherapist. Freud is even holding a cigar. I thought it should come with a Persian-carpet covered divan and some Greco-Roman pottery (like Freud had in his office in Vienna) but, alas, none were available. My "psychowoman" put Freud on a shelf in her office.

Did you find one of him snorting coke?

So that's not a cigar? And now that you mention it, he did have white powder on his upper lip. I thought he was eating a doughnut or something.

Jiddu Krishnamurti - While strictly not an "intellectual" he spoke very eloquently on the nature of religion.

How can we know our subconscious yearnings?

Dream interpretation
Honest self awareness
Understanding coincidences
and smoking salvia divinorum of course!

When they become conscious, do a whole load of new subconscious yearnings appear to fill the space formally occupied by the subconscious yearnings? As they're subconscious, I suppose we would never know

There is always the super conscious, the final frontier.

I think if we are really self aware then the subconscious integrates with the conscious part of the mind.

Wherever you go there you are. There is no where left to hide when you try to hide yourself.
