Your id is your basic desire to recreate womb-reality, your 24/7 womb life. Your unconscious desire to regain womb life. Its like a dethroned emperor trying to get his kingdoms back.
The so called id is our basic unconscious urge to have the best of everything, a life of total pleasure. Freud called it as our sex drive. I strongly suspect that the id is our unconscious drive to recapture and recreate to the extent possible our life as we experienced it in the womb. In the womb we had a constant life of feeling love, warmth and security. This constant positive feed back 24/7 created in us feelings of omnipotence. by the time of birth we were well acquainted with a life of effortless pleasure. Especially as we got used to these feelings of love, warmth and security as as a result we built up these feelings of omnipotence and omnipresence.
So as we grow older we continue to miss and continue to seek this lost and most pleasurable womb life.
To the extent possible we seek love by trying to get as famous and as popular as possible. To recreate warmth we try to make our life as comfortable as possible. We try to acquire as many comforts as possible. To recreate security we try to have as much wealth as possible. As we also experience sexual pleasure in the womb we try to seek as much sex as possible.
Having developed these feelings of omnipotence and omnipresence over nine long months just imagine the impression on the brain of the extremely subjective fetus. As they say the first impression on an adult mind is the last impression; imagine the impression of this constant positive feed back on the tiny subjective brain of the fetus. No wonder the womb reality (environment) shaped self image and the womb reality shaped impression of how the world is, is the force that powers our basic drive - our id. Our id is shaped by womb-reality. Our brain is womb-conditioned (shaped by the womb-realty).
Instead of devoting our life to our true self's genuine goals many of us are driven by our id - the emotional desires that are leftovers of our earliest and most undeveloped, primitive stage of our brain. We let our id shape our desires and our life. We struggle for our id.
Perhaps some of us can be woken up to our premature brain powered basic behavior. It is a big drag to our adult life when we devote our time to go back to our premature life and to recreate womb-reality. A reality that is no longer possible, a reality that will at best be phony with its phony pleasures; especially when real life, real pleasures and a life generated by a +2 super mature mind can be a reality. So know your id and take steps to master it. And make sure that your future generations are free from its clutch.
Instead of being a slave of your id; understand and take steps to remove the very causes that created your id. Which means uncondition your mind of womb-conditioning. In fact one can say that emotional intelligence education consists of unconditioning the brain of womb-conditioning.
In fact our id is our basic human nature.
