As a psychiatrist, having been
trained in psychoanalysis,
2
00:00:06.111 --> 00:00:10.614
I have to mention the work on
Sigmund Freud about sublimation.
3
00:00:10.639 --> 00:00:16.461
The idea is that we have
some biological drives
4
00:00:16.882 --> 00:00:19.317
like sexual or aggressive.
5
00:00:19.342 --> 00:00:22.987
All the work of the civilization,
of education,
6
00:00:23.012 --> 00:00:28.828
of the maturity of a person
is to domesticate
7
00:00:28.991 --> 00:00:34.223
these drives and to make
them acceptable for yourself
8
00:00:34.248 --> 00:00:35.861
and for the others.
9
00:00:36.030 --> 00:00:38.481
And he calls this sublimation.
10
00:00:38.506 --> 00:00:44.379
Pasteur Pistor was into dispelling
Freud and saying, hey
11
00:00:44.624 --> 00:00:49.019
why don't you make
sublimation with God.
12
00:00:49.843 --> 00:00:51.864
And Freud answered
13
00:00:51.889 --> 00:00:56.134
that he had never considered
not being a priest,
14
00:00:56.303 --> 00:01:01.851
that one could conduct
the transfer to God.
15
00:01:02.197 --> 00:01:05.571
Let's say to consider
that spirituality.
16
00:01:05.596 --> 00:01:10.368
It's my own words now that
spirituality is a way of sublimation.
17
00:01:11.055 --> 00:01:16.110
Personally I mobilize
my aggressivity
18
00:01:16.854 --> 00:01:18.906
which is pretty strong.
19
00:01:18.931 --> 00:01:22.360
I'm a very potentially
aggressive person.
20
00:01:23.512 --> 00:01:30.961
In my creativity and my
libido to seduce people,
21
00:01:30.986 --> 00:01:39.955
to fight people, I sublimate it
in showing nice ideas,
22
00:01:40.155 --> 00:01:47.539
in showing nice research,
making big progress
23
00:01:47.564 --> 00:01:50.328
with my clinic,
with my colleagues,
24
00:01:50.604 --> 00:01:54.476
defending my service
inside the hospital,
25
00:01:55.410 --> 00:01:59.875
fighting for justice,
to be a pleasant professor.
26
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:05.476
It is not to seduce girls,
but to be a nice professor
27
00:02:06.356 --> 00:02:08.328
and to be appreciated.
28
00:02:08.353 --> 00:02:11.867
This is sublimation for
a psychoanalytical psychiatrist.
