Freud

Yet another Core book that boggles my mind.

I'm not quite sure what's going on. He keeps going off in tangents that don't really seem to have any connection to the "oceanic" feeling to which he's referring.

I do have one point of contention with Mr. Freud - "I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection." Granted, I usually called for my dad when I had nightmares when I was younger because I probably didn't think my mom was up for battle against pirates and other equally frightening beings. However, I would say that moms do a pretty good job of protecting. And there are multitudes of "childhood needs" that can only be granted by mothers.

I agree that mothers also serve an important role in protection. On the issue of Pirates on the other hand, I have some qualms. Pirates are awesome and need not be feared unless something you did pissed them off. Then fear is a necessary element in the equation.
