Ma,

I think the inner fruit neurophysiology soup 'cocktail' one can create or generate with Yoga asana or poses is one of the best there is, unparalleled.

Just had an interesting dream where I said this to Stanford Law Prof Hank Greely in a nice office room where, coming in to get some kind of prize, - was Hennessy there? - he was jokingly in a position to get frisked, and I saw this as 90 degree pose, hands on a bookshelf, started to give him a brief friendly back rub, and then began to do this Yoga pose myself next to him (thinking too in comparison of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 1980 regarding that movement hiking neurophysiology and well being) ... saying to everyone in room: "I think the inner fruit neurophysiology soup 'cocktail' one can create or generate with Yoga asana or poses is one of the best there is, unparalleled."

Curious, good dream ... and will likely do some more Yoga than I usually do this morning. The benefits of movement re neurophysiology are great as well. Happy walking today. And nice to talk with you yesterday evening. Lacanian psychoanalysis riffs with the language of dreams. :)

Love, Scott
Am curious too about the role of culture, and cultural practices) in psychoanalysis (Austrian, French, Pennsylvania - and language-wise German, French, English ... and potentially in any nation state or its main languages, especially in Africa, and the Arab language countries, for example).

Idea-wise, could one generate an inner well being 'fruit cocktail' neurophysiology with psychoanalysis? And how would Yoga's differ from the outcome of psychoanalysis - speculatively? (Am speculating that Stanford Law Prof Roland Vogl, originally from Austria but having emigrated to California USA, went through psychoanalysis, and benefited from this, and seems quite well adjusted as a consequence). Yoga and psychoanalysis as healing practices, freeing too, seem different norms' wise regarding role in society somehow. As I continue to develop my big educational project (WUaS), which is ambitious in its own way, some 'strong energies' come up at times. Am recallibg now-deceased George, as psychoanalyst, appreciating thinking-wise, language-wise, Lacanian psychoanalysis relative to Yoga ... perhaps regarding outcomes too, and him also appreciating Dad for his successes relative to George Alexander MD's own perhaps quiet psychiatric clinical practice / career. (And both Caleb and John developed highly successful careers in academic medicine as MDs, becoming powerful doctors in a sense - like Dad in Pennsylvania, and Freud and Lacan). One thing Yoga adds regarding well being outcomes further regarding the thinking of Lacanian psychoanalysis language-wise, is the benefits of movement. Another might be a different 'moral' vision. (George characterized himself as 'amoral' a number of times, for ex., as he engaged gay rights' thinking - perhaps in the context of Pittsburgh). But Roland, working as law professor, and director of Stanford Law CodeX - and possibly having gone through psychoanalysis, - has the law, and legal thinking, and now re CodeX's legal information technologies and entrepreneurialism and Stanford's California ethics informing related questions. George was engaging moral or ethical questions philosophically and psychoanalytically, and as a practicing Lacanian psychoanalyst MD Psychiatrist. Time to do some Yoga asana, as the coronavirus pandemic's 'memes,' as replicating cultural units - a second wAve? - re governments in ~200 countries' languages seek to plan for such an emergency. Lots of 'energy' from the coronavirus seems still to be in the air, - and lots of potential 'FREEING up energies' via Lacanian psychoanalysis language-wise (since 'the unconscious is structured like a language' per Lacan), and from Yoga asana, sitting, and meditation. Time for me to do a little Yoga :)

Sending love, Scotty

Some interesting thinking about the Lacan, the unconscious +

"Lacan thought that Freud's ideas of "slips of the tongue", jokes, and the interpretation of dreams all emphasized the agency of language in subjective constitution. In "The Instance of the Letter in the Unconscious, or Reason Since Freud," he proposes that "the unconscious is structured like a language." The unconscious is not a primitive or archetypal part of the mind separate from the conscious, linguistic ego, he explained, but rather a formation as complex and structurally sophisticated as consciousness itself. One consequence of his idea that the unconscious is structured like a language is that the self is denied any point of reference to which to be "restored" following trauma or a crisis of identity. ..."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Lacan

"Jacques Lacan indicates that day-dreams are of secondary importance to Freud, but that their main function is that of wish-fulfillment (Wunscherfullung). ... He adds that these dreams usually remain unconscious, but represent a powerful need for the things that they represent. ..."

Dear Tym, Sid, Caleb, All,

Here's an example of one online psychoanalyst, as an example, Dr Chris Heath MD - https://twitter.com/AChrisHeathMD (who's a Freudian MD psychoanalyst, based in Texas, and somewhat hippy oriented-even interestingly); He's engaged much with social media as well (Youtube too, for ex.).

As a further followup from my April 17, 2020 email, and regarding making online psychoanalysis and psychiatry available, I suppose it's especially here in Canyon 94516 (as one 'remote' place I'm currently familiar with), for example, that this could benefit people (but cost, quality, and with high achieving MDs are significant issues).


...


Am not sure how Kaiser Permanente and SF Bay Area related health care organizations approach to mental health questions in Canyon 94516, if an issue comes up, - and legally even too. I think in general there's much need especially with online psychoanalysis, and psychiatry, in order to study this further academically and rigorously, and I wonder, even, if WUaS could be of help in these regards as well (with emerging opportunities for online psychoanalysis, and psychiatry, in the coronavirus pandemic).

Preventive psychiatry?
I just noted that the former clerk of the SF Quaker Meeting, Chris Mohr, posted his wife's Tweet, (both moved to Philadelphia a few years' ago with their 2 sons as 'professional Quakers' - i.e. they got jobs in Quaker organizations there, and their kids went to Quaker high schools, the oldest heading on to Haverford College not too long ago) about their youngest son who's going to Princeton University this autumn:

"Chris Mohr's youngest son Thanks to Miss Tammy of @FriendsSelect_ for the cupcakes and the super sweet sign from Tracy and Kristen! #Classof2020

And given my experience in the SF Quaker Meeting with whistle blowing about sexual misconduct with children, and seeing a fair amount of benefits of / need for psychiatry as well as potentially psychoanalysis (in the future potentially for some there too), I wonder somehow even if Chris and Robin's move with their 2 sons somehow even saved their youngest son in particular from serious harm's way.

Psychiatrists like Dr. Karriem Salaam at Friends' Hospital could help! - Again, I was very very impressed with adolescent psychiatrists Dr. Karriem Salaam a few years ago, and I'd think that Friends' Hospital has many excellent head psychiatrists. The video of Dr. Salaam is impressive here in a related Tweet (from 9 Sep 2018):

"How to prepare your kids for life on their own ahead of college - from Friends' Hospital in Philadelphia, one of America's oldest continuously operated mental hospitals:

While Dr. Salaam isn't a psychoanalyst (and did he grow up as a Quaker, a 'birthright Friend'?), I'd think that he'd have some good ideas for psychiatry and psychoanalysis as well among Quakers, Canyon residents, and other people in remote locations, as well as in cities.

All the best,
Scott

And how would Yoga's beneficial inner neurophysiology differ from the outcome of psychoanalysis - speculatively? How does psychoanalysis work? How does Yoga work?
