The Freudian Structure of the Psyche?

Freud's structure of the psyche has heavy lead weighing down the topmost level. The lower levels of the mind are weighed down by its force, pushed far into the basement, deep below the ground. There are not windows, no sources of ventilation for the occupants to breathe. The body, too, is submerged underneath the burning clay of Freudian consciousness. The body is a Vesuvius victim, half-dead, half aware and active, screaming. Such horrendous cries are readily condemned by those above the ground, who see it as an expression of so much vain hysteria.

Freud's upper mind is allowed open windows, not too many, from which to gaze at others from a balcony with rose perfume on every ledge. (One needs it to smother the stench of rotting flesh that permeates the streets below from all the dead and dying and their problems. Freud does not to understate the sheer necessity of all of this.)

In Freudian terms, the anguish of the body whilst being burnt with hot sulphur and ashes is called: emotion. Emotion undermines the rose-hewn detachment of the Freudian upper mind -- which wants to feel that it is quite happy sitting on a ledge.
