Man's Unconscious Passion (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from Man's Unconscious Passion

But, to carry out this metaphor, the mind is neither spherical, nor is it of homogeneous den sity throughout. Possibly the iceberg is the best illustration of the extent Of the conscious and unconscious mind, because it is irregular in shape, may be melted Off at the bottom by warm currents, and lean over or turn turtle according to circumstances. The work of psychoanalysis is to make the thing spherical, so to speak, in order that it may be turned over and examined on every side. If one attempted to overturn a large, flat piece of ice in the water one would have to lift a goodly proportion of its weight.

Excerpt from Man's Unconscious Passion

Some infinitesimal influence is exerted by you on everything else in the universe, if only from the fact that you occupy space. And some influence is exerted upon you by every other thing in space, a greater influence from the things of your environment, a still greater from the immediate environment. But what is the environment? It is safe to say that unless there were some interrelation of cause and effect between the individual and his environment, there would be no significance in its being called an environment. The things that cause changes in your mental and physical behaviour are your environment, and the more effect they have, the more are you environed by them.

It would be difficult to say by what you are most influenced.
