I'm supposed to understand bourgeois consciousness implicitly and to universalise it, but I do not understand it automatically. I also have the feeling this failure to grasp it as normal or right is not allowed to me.
The return to the primeval is THE FORBIDDEN THING for the monotheistic religions -- but also for the secular ideologies they have engendered. It is as if an angel with sword prevents a return to the primeval states. As Nietzsche indicates, the theological instinct gets into almost anything. Psychoanalysis also contains this theological poison. The notion that the human psyche is fundamentally universal is pulled into service of a theological notion of primeval sin and evil.
