It begins with monotheism's lonely individual, sharpens after Protestantism removes the Church as mediator, and reappears in Freud as the private unconscious.

The cure is other people.", "opening": { "heading": "Core Reading", "text": "The lecture starts long before Freud because Freud is not the origin. He is one late solution to a religious problem. Animism binds human beings to trees, animals, death, birth, and rebirth. Mother goddess worship binds them to fertility. Polytheism binds cities to patron gods. Christian monotheism does something stranger: God becomes both everything and nothing, and the individual stands alone before that totality. The Catholic Church once mediated that loneliness. Protestantism tears the mediator away and turns faith into a crisis. How do you know you really love God? How do you know God loves you? One answer is capitalism. Another is jihad. The dangerous answer is transgression: break the taboo, feel liberation, and mistake the thrill for faith.", "refs": [ "video:predictive-history-ra2v9hkahz8@transcript:v1#seg-0001", "video:predictive-history-ra2v9hkahz8@transcript:v1#seg-0003", "video:predictive-history-ra2v9hkahz8@transcript:v1#seg-0004", "video:predictive-history-ra2v9hkahz8@transcript:v1#seg-0005", "video:predictive-history-ra2v9hkahz8@transcript:v1#seg-0006", "video:predictive-history-ra2v9hkahz8@transcript:v1#seg-0008" ], "marks": [ { "text": "God is both nothing and everything", "refs": [ "video:predictive-history-ra2v9hkahz8@transcript:v1#seg-0003" ], "refs_detail": [ { "ref": "video:predictive-history-ra2v9hkahz8@transcript:v1#seg-0003", "segment_id": "seg-0003", "start": 175.05, "end": 265.06, "time_label": "2:55", "speaker": "SPEAKER_00", "excerpt": "And the reason why is, the Christians introduced the idea of the Holy Trinity And remember what the Holy Trinity is.

At this stage in history, this is not a problem. And the reason why is mediating you and God is the Catholic Church. But not only that, the Catholic Church mediates God. For everyone. So in this way, the church creates its own community. Okay? So at this stage in history, this is not a problem. But remember, the church becomes corrupt, and there are many religious reformers who believe that you don't really need the church in order to access God. In fact, you have a moral imperative to access God directly through the Bible. You have to read the Bible by yourself. You have to interpret it properly. Okay? And so, obviously, the most famous reformer is Martin Luther.

So now, we have an explanation for why Freud made the transition, why he changed his story. But now there's another problem, which is, how does Freud convince his patients to go along? Before he told his patients, I believe you, and they trusted him. And now he's changing his story. So how can he convince them that they, in fact, do suffer from sexual abuse? Well, first of all, Freud's story is about sexual fantasies. And this experience of sexual abuse, it's all just made up in the head. And that's a very hard job to do. So the solution is the interpretation of dreams. So Freud pioneered a new way of hypnotizing his patients. So together, they would analyze their dreams. Because if you talk about their memories and their past, you're going to fight back. And he says, I remember very clearly.
