1is that this does not arrive at its destination. ¶ How does it happen nevertheless that it is enunciated? That is the central introduction of psychoanalysis. I will stick with that for today. I hope to be able in a week’s time, since there will be a 17 May, - God knows why! – anyway it has been announced to me that there will be a 17 May, and that here I have not too many examinees, unless it is you that I will examine and perhaps I will question in the hope that something of what I say have got across. Au revoir! ¶ 121 <0x0C>Seminar 12: 17 May 1977 ¶ People in the middle were not able to hear me; I would like to be told this time whether I can be heard.

2. Now first of all, this woman did in effect paint rings that are very good, but she did not paint Borromean knots — Sonia Delaunay is the person in question. But that she should have wanted, that she should have seen the Borromean knot as being inscribed in the field of art, namely, as something that could shift the limit I evoked earlier, this is interesting. So then she brought me a long article on this, that I was supposed to publish and I considered that the bo knot was not beau, that is what I thought. ¶ Good then, so good-bye! <0x0C> Lecture VI 15 December 1994 ¶ Giving a commentary on this formula of Lacan according to which "the unconscious is the social", implies accepting at first a curious decentering, since to postulate that the Oedipus complex is the organiser of subjectivi

4Abraham, so they embraced each other. Both were attached to Jacob with love and friendship, and gave their spirit to each other. The friends must be like them, and not cause a blemish in them. FOR IF THEY LACK LOVE, THEY CAUSE A BLEMISH IN THEIR COUNTERPART ABOVE, IN ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB, WHICH ARE THE SECRET OF CHESED, GVURAH, AND TIFERET. ¶ As soon as RABBI SHIMON saw the sign on their faces, HE RECOGNIZED WHAT THEY CAME TO ASK HIM. He said to them: WELCOME, MY BELOVED. They said to him: Assuredly the Spirit of Prophecy dwells upon the holy luminary, and this is what we need to know, NAMELY, THE QUESTION MENTIONED ABOVE.

5prevalent value, this value as an aspirating point that the oral drive has in all our theorising about analysis, does that not come precisely from a fundamental failure to recognise of how orienting, directive there can be in such a vanishing point, the fact that it is forgotten that the demand, whatever it may be is pronounced with the mouth. ¶ http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>The Object of Psychoanalysis 5.1.1966 V 58 ¶ Seminar 5: Wednesday 5 January 1966 ¶ I wish you a happy New Year, and my very best wishes, wishes which, after all, in my mouth take on their importance from my being able at least on one point, however limited it may be in terms of your interest, to bring something of myself to it. ¶ We are going to pursue what we have to say this

What is at stake is the one where there come, one begging, one astray, two characters, two allegorical characters whom you know and who are called Poros and Penia: the Poros of psychoanalysis and the university Penia. I am in the process of questioning myself about how far I can let the obscenity go. Whatever may be at stake, it is worth looking twice at the matter, I mean: even if what is at stake is what someone called, rather comically, philosophical Eros. ¶ Happy Christmas! ¶ http://www.lacaninireland.com <0x0C>The Logic of Phantasy 11.1.1967 VII 66 ¶ Seminar 7: Wednesday 11 January 1967

7SIDE, SHOULD NOT SUCKLE FROM THE SHECHINAH. It should write in the verse, "the mother's milk." Why write "its mother's milk?" If you say that the Congregation of Yisrael, BEING MALCHUT is the mother of an impure aspect, this is not so. For I have heard from Rabbi Shimon, the Congregation of Yisrael is the saintly mother, joined in the portion of Yisrael as it is written, "For Hashem's portion is His people" (Devarim 32:9). ¶ Rabbi Shimon replied, well spoken, and the words of Rabbi Aba are fine. Things are intertwined. Come and see, Ima, BEING MALCHUT joined with them above in this aspect OF HOLINESS, and also that aspect OF IMPURITY. There are two, one to the right and one to the left, MEANING, EVERY ASPECT

8q, a white animal, smaller than a mule and bigger than a donkey was brought to me and I set out with Gabriel. When I reached the nearest heaven. Gabriel said to the heaven gate-keeper, 'Open the gate.' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?' He said, 'Gabriel.' The gate-keeper,' Who is accompanying you?' Gabriel said, 'Muhammad.' The gate-keeper said, 'Has he been called?' Gabriel said, 'Yes.' Then it was said, 'He is welcomed. What a wonderful visit his is!' Then I met Adam and greeted him and he said, 'You are welcomed O son and a Prophet.' Then we ascended to the second heaven. It was asked, 'Who is it?' Gabriel said, 'Gabriel.' It was said, 'Who is with you?' He said, 'Muhammad' It was asked, 'Has he been sent for?' He said, 'Yes.' It

9the two sides, RIGHT AND LEFT, and revolves now to this side, now to the other. According to another explanation, "revolving" alludes to the shapes of the fiery flames which are revolving, as we said. They revolve and change forms, now to men, now to women. They revolve in their places and change forms, in order to guard the way to the Tree of Life. What is the way? As in "who makes a way in the sea" (Yeshayah 43:16), IT REFERS TO YESOD OF THE NUKVA. ¶ Rabbi Yehuda said, Well spoken, and assuredly correct. Adam caused that tree, in regard to which he sinned, WHICH IS THE NUKVA, to be driven out. So did other men, WHICH CAUSE IT TO BE DRIVEN OUT THROUGH THEIR SINS, as said in the verse, "And for your transgressions was your

I am convinced that this would be marvellous and if there were people, more daring than me, they would require it on the part of their colleagues in a group. They would say: “Listen, old boy, we can discuss this seriously when you have produced a work like that that has been so well inaugurated by Christian Fierens”. Thank you for your attention. ¶ 128 <0x0C>C.

Here we can perhaps understand that, because it is a matter of completely filling each word that is emitted with something that also resembles the by heart of the tongue one is learning, the foreign tongue also, there is something there which seems to me to be very important. Ch. Melman - Yes, but fundamentally, it was already what Plato wanted, a very ancient wish, a very precocious wish; his repudiation of poets, the poets must be driven out of the City they are dangerous people. On the other hand, all thought about the concept goes in the direction, precisely, of an accomplished positiveness. On these questions we never do any more than take up or give rise again to ancient data, we never invent very much. ¶ So then goodbye, to the month of January! <0x0C> Lecture VII 12 January 1995

12us say as a denial of narcissistic omnipotence to refer to the later formulation of Freud. A denial which is consequently correlative to repression. This denial of omnipotence is best illustrated by the following word, by the word: “because of your wish”, a word which the psychoanalyst adds to the text of the patients dream. He did not know that he had died thus giving rise to the denegation of the patient, this is not my wish. This is what I wanted to say to you. ¶ (29) Doctor Lacan: Stein, thank you very much for what you have been willing to contribute in terms of a gathering together of the specifications of what you have presented to us elsewhere as being only the first three moments of something which is your project and which undoubtedly must involve at least one more, is that not so. ¶ I must then

I apologise for the aridity of what I was led to produce before you today, because of the complexity itself, even though it is not an extraordinarily punctual complexity, it must be said.

14, I have also heard that Abraham was not referred to as one, until he became united with Isaac and Jacob. Only after he became associated with Isaac and Jacob and the three were the fathers of the world was Abraham named "one." THIS MEANS THAT ONLY AFTER HE COMBINED ALL THREE COLUMNS TO ONE WAS HE NAMED one;" then he was CALLED the apple tree of the world, WHICH WAS DISTINGUISHED BY ITS THREE COLORS (WHITE, RED, AND GREEN), WHICH ALLUDE TO THE THREE COLUMNS. "Thus, he was distinguished and different from all the people of his generation." He responded to him, Well said! ¶ A different explanation of the verse, "As the apple tree among the trees of the forest," is that it refers to the Holy One, blessed be He, THE RIGHT COLUMN; "so is my beloved" refers to the Holy One, blessed be He, THE LEFT COLUMN; AND "under his shadow

28<bos>Your perspective is very valuable for me. If there is an end to a chapter, it must, I suppose, take the form of communication/understanding: understanding ourselves through understanding how others understand themselves through understanding how we understand them, is one way to put it. Grokking the metamodel is another way of saying it :) If this happens on the scale of your second dream, then the religion is saved. ¶ Anyway if communication is the nature of the game, then your reply is very important to me, and I thank you for the blessing of friendship and understanding. ¶ Ramadan mubarak to you and yours! ¶ Mu
