Repression and Transference

These 'names': Jotnirenyen, Onkar, Rarankar, Sohang and Sat Naam are Sanskrit words, and in saying that they are ‘loaded’ with a type of force is again, of course, a mystical way of expression. Psychoanalytically we are again impelled to speak of transference, instead of ‘load’.

This archaic, intensive transference of one’s own unconscious meanings to the master rather loads the master than it would be his ‘names’ that were ‘loaded’. Nevertheless, the master has experience with the essence of a teacher-follower relationship, so that he can transmit such essence in a few signifiers.

‘Master’ and follower relate to each other through the ‘fortune of symbols’, indeed, through the erection of symbols, or desire for a pure relationship, for a “projective identification”.¹ Besides dealing with transference, here we need to concern ourselves with repression, too, and even with something Freud called primal repression. In the case that a repression can be dissolved through an interpretation of a transference, then we must actually be dealing with the essence of formulations, of ‘names’, in which such healings in psychoanalysis, as well as in that of Surat Shabd Yoga, are incarnated.

And so, ends meet. A transference of a special category, namely the primal transference of just above, allows application to repressions that reach as far as into mechanisms of primal repression.

And this is what is meant in yoga with ‘being loaded’.² Scientifically one would say that the ‘names’ are not loaded with energy or power but contain knowledge. I will be coming back to this again later on as well, when I speak about the FORMULA-WORDS which are constructed scientifically.
