The Unconscious and Consciousness - Reality
On closer inspection we find that it is not the existence of two systems near
the motor end of the apparatus but of two kinds of processes or modes of
emotional discharge, the assumption of which was explained in the
psychological discussions of the previous chapter. This can make no
difference for us, for we must always be ready to drop our auxiliary ideas
whenever we deem ourselves in position to replace them by something else
approaching more closely to the unknown reality. Let us now try to correct
some views which might be erroneously formed as long as we regarded the
two systems in the crudest and most obvious sense as two localities within the
psychic apparatus, views which have left their traces in the terms “repression”
and “penetration.” Thus, when we say that an unconscious idea strives for
transference into the foreconscious in order later to penetrate consciousness,
we do not mean that a second idea is to be formed situated in a new locality
like an interlineation near which the original continues to remain; also, when
we speak of penetration into consciousness, we wish carefully to avoid any
idea of change of locality. When we say that a foreconscious idea is repressed
and subsequently taken up by the unconscious, we might be tempted by these
figures, borrowed from the idea of a struggle over a territory, to assume that
an arrangement is really broken up in one psychic locality and replaced by a
new one in the other locality. For these comparisons we substitute what would
seem to correspond better with the real state of affairs by saying that an
energy occupation is displaced to or withdrawn from a certain arrangement so
that the psychic formation falls under the domination of a system or is
withdrawn from the same. Here again we replace a topical mode of
presentation by a dynamic; it is not the psychic formation that appears to us as
the moving factor but the innervation of the same.
I deem it appropriate and justifiable, however, to apply ourselves still
further to the illustrative conception of the two systems. We shall avoid any
misapplication of this manner of representation if we remember that
presentations, thoughts, and psychic formations should generally not be
localized in the organic elements of the nervous system, but, so to speak,
between them, where resistances and paths form the correlate corresponding
to them. Everything that can become an object of our internal perception is
virtual, like the image in the telescope produced by the passage of the rays of
