Martin Buber
Martin Buber from Vienna Leipzig Berlin worked at the same time;same university as Freud and part of the community. He was going to study psychiatry. He criticized Freud and Jung. Needs a chapter to himself comparing his philosophy to Freud's. See reference http://www.iep.utm.edu/buber/

thoughts from Israel
Perhaps the Jewish people feel that Freud sold out on them, used the philosophy but refused to be art of the community or give credit where it as due. Maybe he also argued against some of the concepts.
Although he studied western philosophy and used words such as libido, psyche etc to fit in with German and western ideas, this was needed to be able to communicate. He was also brought up with Jewish philosophy- something complety different and hidden even now except for those ho seek to ask. Like the Chabad proselytes they ask if you are Jewish first- if so, you know, if not- have a nice day. Well it is only when all the Jewish souls are gathered, all the sparks of illumination within the husks have been gathered that the messianic age will occur. That means only the chosen ones. Freud was a humanist. We are all God's people and theerefore all chosen. We all suffer and we all need help. The individuality of Freud's era however is at odds with the communitarian approach of most older cultures, including Judaism.

The ancient tombs were headed by a pyramid with a benben on top. The Mount of lives is a necrpolis outside the city walls of the living. The journey for the second coming included icon and clothes for the next world as well as a body embalmed rather than mummified. The parrallels with ancient Egypt is large. Learning was very important to both cultures, the library at Alexandria and purported library in the temple of the Sphynx- the Shrine of the Book, Torah and the importance of the word, alphabet. Thee solar and celestial calendars for feasts and timing of the Shabbat, is the same as Ptolemy's. Need I add that the israelites lived in Egypt, followed ? an Egyptian Moses aand according to Freud followed Akinaten, who worshipped the one God- the Atun or sun God. So God is described as the light, illumination, the support of all life. Temples were built to allow the sun to enter the holy of holies at the correct time and day for sacred festivals, possibly sex for giving birth in Spring- like sowing ad reaping harvests. ( Lomas and Knight). The evil eye- the all seeing eye, the eye of Horus- Egyptian, Judaic, Freemasonry, Catholic-all the same.
One needs to wear a kippur, hat, scarf, wig to protect/ separate you from God, the light, the sun- so you dont get sunburnt? Shabbat prayers turn to the east and the west- the rising and setting sun?

So much of what is essentially Jewish philosophy has permeated our culture without us knowing it- like I think happened to Freud- unconscious Eg- my right hand man. The right hand is the positive apects of the Sepirot, the male ( I think), the active.
4
Freud had a beard- must see how many photos there are with him if any without beard- is this religious. So too had Marx but not Einstein.
5
Must check - Darwin 's relative was Erasmus- was he Jewish????
The evolution of Man and the developmental stages of Man towards perfection is a Kabbalist concept- ontogeny/phylogeny?? argument
6Must check what books were found in Freud's bookshelf that were Jewish and what his father wrote in the Phillipson's Bible- a mixture of different saying from the Bible and Talmud- ? Kabbalist discussions
6
Freud was seen as dour, depressed miserable and this is some of the arguments about him- obsessional etc. But he was in pain and a terrible operation - prosthetic jaw. Where is the evidence of the joyful family man the capacity to see through pain and suffering to the spark inide and the ability to dance in ecstasy.
7.
How much influence had his grandfather over his life?
8.
Where are the synagogues in Leopoldt strasse? Was there Chabad Houses?
What form of Judaism was he immersed in.
9
The candles at the tomb of the RaMBaN- reminded me of burnt offerings- sacrificial slaughter must have been seen a a primitive and unacceptable part of Christian worlds, so a symbolic offering that is burnt- same as the Catholic Church .
10
The symbol in dream interpretation need to be further elucidated
I think they are coded in the explanations of the aleph/beit.
11
Depresion is narcissism- poor me! The treatment is to see past the husks and move to the divine spark within- is this not the process of psychoanalyis?
more uestions than answers.
