I dunno.....don't know enough Freud to comment. it's the "I", the voice in your head that dictates to the rest of you, as if that were even possible in anything but a schizoid. It's totally self-centered and it separates us from God and each other. We've put the analytical mind in charge of our lives......you might as well put a computer in charge. It cannot feel, it cannot fathom things like love, eternity, zero, etc......but like Google, it will give you a definition if you ask it, lol.
