Law Totems Institutions

More From Sigmund Freud

The most ancient and important taboo prohibitions are the two basic laws of totemism: not to kill the totem animal and to avoid sexual intercourse with members of the totem clan of the opposite sex.

The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

What is a totem? it is as a rule an animal (whether edible and harmless or dangerous and feared) and more rarely a plant or a natural phenomenon (such as rain or water), which stands in a peculiar relation to the whole clan. in the first place, the totem is the common ancestor of the clan; at the same time it is their guardian spirit and helper, which sends them oracles and, if dangerous to others, recognizes and spares its own children.

God wants a love partner, centering on the place where husband and wife become one through their sexual organs, god wants to appear and meet us...i wish you would center on the absolute sexual organ, unique sexual organ, unchanging sexual organ and eternal sexual organ and use this as your foundation to pursue god...we have to realize that the kingdom of god on earth and in heaven will begin on this foundation.

There is nothing to be known about anything except an initially large, and forever expandable, web of relations to other things. everything that can serve as a term of relation can be dissolved into another set of relations, and so on for ever. there are, so to speak, relations all the way down, all the way up, and all the way out in every direction: you never reach something which is not just one more nexus of relations.

Your ancestors fought for you to have a share in that institution over there. it's yours. see the school board, and every friday night hold your meetings there. have your wives clean it up saturday morning for the children to enter monday. your organization is not a praying institution. it's a fighting institution. it's an educational institution along industrial lines. pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!
