When you don’t stick to your principles you get stuck in a confusing, immoral morass. The Western world lost its confidence and became a civilization weakened and confused about morality – right vs. wrong and the basic nature of man – when the culture took Sigmund Freud’s delusions seriously. The man’s warped psychological doctrines reshaped how the West viewed desire, virtue and even identity. His ideas greased the skids laying the groundwork for the sexual revolution and the new concept of gender dysphoria that presently dominates our culture. We are now hyper-sexualized, guilt-ridden and detached from the Christian moral roots that once anchored Western civilization.
Freud presented himself as a scientist and all the “experts” fell for it, falling in line with his fulminations. However, his personal neuroses and obsessions rather than empirical truth took possession of those people who should have known better. For instance, Freud admitted to having sexual feelings for his mother and from that personal failing he created his notorious Oedipus Complex in which he claimed – without justification – that all men secretly desire their mothers and are therefore resentful of their fathers. That “conclusion” was an extraordinary case of projection and is itself a case study in how one man’s neuroses have made everyone feel nutty or not “with it”. In truth, for all its existence, Western civilization has held that we humans are moral creatures capable of self-control. And as that is the case, certain desires must be rejected out of hand having been circumscribed by reason; that is, that reason and virtue, not biological maturation, represent actual human maturity.
But Freud turned these fundamental Western concepts on their heads. He cast intentional repression of moral taboos as sickness and indulgence of the forbidden as health. Lust was no longer to be resisted but as with eating, sexual impulse was a need to be fulfilled. We believed all of this because Freud said so. Freud’s defenders like to portray him as a brave explorer of the human mind. But, in fact, his own was a deeply troubled mind. Freud was a cocaine addict, with a self-diagnosed neuroses and a negative, derogatory attitude towards his patients, calling them rabble! Under the circumstances, logically it would be mindless to accept his explanations of our human failings at face value. Indeed, his own granddaughter, Dr. Sophie Freud, dismissed his theories as “narcissistic indulgence.” Psychoanalysis is one of the biggest fables foisted on humanity and its central claims have never been verified by real evidence.
However, it did remove from the “patient” the demand by Christianity that he (or she) live a moral and godly life! After all, if you are “sick,” you cannot be “guilty!” And as Freud had a common Jewish hostility towards Christianity, his efforts to remove that Faith and replace it with human reasoning created a secular substitute for religion, thus dethroning the moral authority of faith. However, as the entire civilization was founded on Christianity, Freud’s moral meddling was a dire blow to Western Civilization’s way of life – and its future.
Freud’s legacy could not be confined to the psychological consulting community but, as with any pollutant, eventually filtered into all corners of the culture monopolizing the discipline of psychology until modern research began displacing it. But, most important, it changed the culture’s zeitgeist and has had a lasting effect as behaviors once seen as both intentional and immoral were reclassified as psychological conditions and later – as those behaviors became more desirable! – mere “lifestyle choices.” The “everything is relative” and “we all have our own truths” mantras set the stage for the revolting sexual revolution and the gender-bender bent of the present leftist lunacy.
Every indulgence and desire is now seen as related to sexual fulfillment to be “sexploited” for development rather than deplored or at least studied for any possible harmful effect. With that, the moral backbone of Western civilization has softened to the point of dissolution, having been made sufficiently pliable to meet any new set of lunacies. A fetish to satisfy sexual fetishes is now de rigueur.
Great thinkers from Pythagoras to Plato and from Newton to Tesla have understood that discipline (including the sexual discipline of celibacy!) could (and would!) heighten creativity and mental focus. In other words, sexual energy could be redirected and/or sublimated into other creative endeavors if one is of a mind to concentrate on not allowing that energy to be either exercised or dissipated. This was the concept that led to the formation of the monastic orders and the great philosophies of the Church Fathers such as St. Francis, Thomas Aquinas, St. Augustine, et al. The great saints and sages of the ages in many cultures saw the mastery of sexual desire as the test of fortitude, wisdom and maturity as well as providing the avenue to higher consciousness and development of man’s soul.
But these great developments of our humanity are what Freud considered “repression” and, in his opinion, that it was infinitely better for mankind that they were brought out into the open! However, the results of Freud’s nostrums have proven that when “repression” is abandoned, the creed of “so called” liberation that replaced it has resulted in record levels of loneliness, addiction, broken families, and mental illness.
Indeed, this cultural poison has resulted in traditional concepts of masculinity and femininity being abandoned and replaced by fluidity and the fluctuation of sexual roles. In the now wayward West, traditional masculinity has been recast as a social disease, leaving many men, especially straight white men, alienated in the civilization their forbears built, and which is still dependent upon their manhood for survival. Where once patriarchy properly promoted protection, duty, and order, today it is smeared as oppression – yet the absence of that cultural structure or any viable replacement has increasingly produced people – both men and women – adrift, confused about their sexuality, the family and the purpose of both mankind and society.
This malaise, especially in the role of the male is pretty much directly proportional to the attack on, and decline of Christianity, engendered or engineered by the Freudian mind-set. Western man has transformed from a moral agent with the power to achieve a stable culture into a mental patient. The confessional has been replaced by the therapist’s couch, and the very concept of repentance has become a “rap session” between therapist and client; that is, the therapist has become the culture’s priest, providing liturgy and sacrament to an ever-sicker society.
Yet, when a man starts to realize he must answer to God and stop looking to his “doctor” or himself for the answers, the clearer he sees that strength and sanity can endure only when tradition remains. We must realize we are not slaves to instinct but stewards of our souls and bodies. Energy must be redirected from passions – and not all passions are related to sex! – but to the talents designed for purpose and creativity. The men who built the West – saints, scholars, soldiers, and sires – understood this. They believed in duty before desire, honor before indulgence, and truth before comforting lies.
Freud promised liberation but delivered confusion and bondage to the libido. The West can recover its essence and strength only when men – and women – reject the false gospel of Freud and his disciples, rebuilding their lives on the virtues that made civilization possible: faith, family, chastity, truth, and reverence to the God whose virtues these are. The State that does not serve this God will destroy us.
