NP: A cliffnotes ramp-up on Melanie Klein

[Cometman]

--- Glenn Scheper picked some choice facts out of cyberspace,
relating to Melanie Klein, at the end noting that like D&G,
Melanie Klein's worldview didn't displace the immanent 
experience of Godhead latent in AF.

Risking simplisticism, I think the psychoanalytic
approach in general isn't so much geared to treating
epiphanies per se --
in fact, when called upon to deal with them, it classes
them with the sickness-states it's been devised to understand.

While most people could profit from psychiatry's insights
into human nature, and many people can benefit from
psychiatric drugs, still, the problems of theology/theophany/AF
are a separate set of problems and would still remain to be 
worked on (with, presumably, a different set of tools)
even after all psychiatric dilemmas were resolved...

"So listen to my song of life -
you don't need a gun or a knife:
successful conversation will take you very far" - Pete Ham

"It is not difficult to define the place that Linux should occupy in a well- ordered social life. It should be its spiritual core"-Simone Weil, from 'The Need for Boots'
