Even those a lot of his theories are questionable, and no longer in use, it is undeniable he is AWESOMEHe died by committing suicide (read up to know more), but i like him =)
i believe in subconscious, or unconscious, the id, ego and superego (ok all gonna sound gibberish if you DON'T read up first!)
It's like he touched upon a subject where it is God-related, the id, ego and superego is kinda like the Holy Spirit, but only the id is our flesh, the superego is our Christian mentality of God's unachievable standard, and the Holy Spirit is the ego.
Of course it is not a direct comparison, so you can stop typing the condemning comments now, Christians. (haha =p)
our flesh almost always win, when we're hungry, we eat, thirsty, we drink, sleepy, we sleep and it goes on. Little do we know, sometimes these things pull us away from God, when we satisfy, we let the flesh overpower the Spirit, and we tend to slack and be complacent (note: speaking from my point of view and not implying everyone is like me),
so sometimes we fast, and when we do, we rely on God for strength to overcome our flesh desires, and so in a sense uplifts the Spirit.
Ok, i may sound so theologically wrong, all i'm trying to say is that don't be complacent =)
sound so incoherent hahaha
just got back from a looooong day. When i am more coherent, will tell you more!

dude, i don't like freud because:
1. he was overly fixated on sex. everything, every motivation boils down to sex. i don't buy that.
2. he had an overly negative view of humanity. everybody is neurotic. whereas humanistic psych errs in the opposite direction. i believe that the christian view is well-balanced between the extremes, in which we are created in God's image but have fallen.
3. he had a deterministic view of human destiny, in which we are all doomed by the forces which shape our lives (especially parental relationships). to me, this doesn't square with the fact that God gives us free will and everyone has choices to make.
what do u think? =)
