In the following page, about Trismegistus, you will read that a major Egyptian figure was known by Christianity, but forgotten since the Renaissance. It was only in 1960 that a reader at the University of London, Frances A.Yates, restored the memory of the repressed legend.

There are compelling, but striking, similarities between this legendary character and the historical Akhnaton that Egyptology began to discover by 1900 - thus validating the relevance of the teachings of Trismegistus. Solar Monotheism, City of Hermopolis, relation to Moses etc...   All these clues are detailed in the following page see Trismegistus page and throughout the site see Home Page .  What I want to emphasize and comment on in this foreword is the remarkable circumstance and opportunity it offers for meditation about repression.

Facts of Repression


Since psychoanalysts are specialists in this matter - I shall begin with their case.

In a recent symposium - New York 1997 - the most renowned post Freudian specialists in the Moses affair collated their progress made subsequent to the1938 publishing of Moses and Monotheisn.  I was not present, but did receive a report of the meeting from one of the the leading representatives in attendance.

When I asked him if Velikovsky had been mentioned - he answered that one of the speakers had certainly listed him in his references.
It was all about Freud's student, he said, who established in 1960 the identity between Oedipus and Akhnaton.  My reporter asked me about Velikovsky's thesis, and was surprised to learn of the matching case between Sophocles' play and Egyptologian data. It indicated how the symposiunm had well informed him about the progress since Freud's death!

When I asked him if Hermes Trismegistus had been mentionned, he said: Yes, certainly!
But he was even more surprised when I mentioned F.A.Yates' 1964 study, which disclosed that the Renaissance was on the brink of identifying Trismegistus as Moses himself, and that his Solar City and his Monotheist revolution ranked this legendary King of Egypt as the most probable Middle-Ages remembrance of the historical Akhnaton.

When we talked about the Egyptologist who published, in 1990, the identity of Moses as Akhnaton, he said: Oh, yes, he was mentioned for sure! By the way, what is his name...
Thus, to conclude, I was, once again, reassured that Psychoanalysis was a good tool for the observation of the Freudian repression!

As you will see, if you have the will to so acknowledge what is described and explained in this web site, - that the discovery of Akhnaton by egyptology (Lepsius 1900) has been followed by a magnificent display of one century's resistance toward this knowledge, which is still vivid today when New York hosted the state of the affair at the dusk of the century.


The second piece of material that I am exposing as revealed repression may be farfetched. Yet it is a solid observation, even if my conclusion is a  personal one.

It the reader is not acquainted with The Selfish Gene, it will suffice to be known that its author, Richard Dawkins is a Lecturer in Zoology at Oxford University and a Fellow of New College. With these titles, he wrote a book about General Genetics published in 1976, then again in 1989, and subsequently reprinted several times.  It became an orthodox textbook, and even coined a new conceptualization which has been dramatically extended in Cybernetics.

As its title indicates, it is about the 'selfishness' of a replicator that Dawkins defined as its ability to raise its survival prospects.
Now, you will be interested to look at the unique and exemplary ability of the Y chromosome for maintaining its survival presence through male lineages see Patronymics following Y chromosome .Just to think that a Y gene is unique within the genetic pool for being constantly hosted by living human bodies gives an idea of a metaphore for maneuvering one's prospectus in an ecosystem.

In this prospect, one must wonder why Dawkins' textbook NEVER mentions the Y chromosome. Would you believe it!  Perhaps not. So you may have to read the entire book and send me an email indicating where the most blattant expression of gene selfishness is represented in the founding text of this law.  For just as a  memo, I shall hereby copy two paragraphs from the conclusive apogee of the book, which summarizes its discourse:
We were built as gene machines, created to pass our own genes. But that aspect of us will be forgotten in three generations.  Your child, even your grandchild, may bear a resemblance to you, perhaps in facial features or color of hair, or in a talent for music.  But as each generation passes, the contribution of your genes is halved.  It does not take long to reach negligible proportions. Our genes may be immortal but the collection of genes that is in any one of us is bound to crumble away. Elisabeth II is a direct descendant of William the Conqueror.  Yet it is quite probable that she bears not a single one of the old king's genes. We should not seek immortality in reproduction.
But if you contribute to the world's culture, if you have a good idea, compose a tune, invent a spark plug, write a poem, it may live on, intact, long after your genes have dissolve in the common pool.  Socrates may, or may not, have a gene or two alive in the world today.   As G.C. Williams has remarked, but who cares?

The biblical Aaron cares, I guess, as well as the Cohen family, whose genes still sustain his lineage see Genetics of Cohen Family.   How then, can Dawkins give the example of an unusual kingship lineage, since at its foundation it is supposed to be carried along by male heirs? Why does he say that our genes are halved when his science contradicts the understanding of the patronymic Y function see the reason Y and the 100% transmission of the male gene?  Obviously, this demonstrates some repression around this matter...

What is the meaning of this repression ? In eluding the 100% transmission Y case, Dawkins is a hero for those who may not want cloning  to make sense - that is, 100% transmission of the whole genome.  That can be read with Sherlock Freud's glasses, where the author himself underlined 'collection' - above in the excerpt; for he rests there on the emotional figure of the genome that is any one of us, while in his opening chapter he concluded :
I shall argue that the fundamental unit of selection, and therefore of self-interest, is not the species, nor the group, nor even, strictly, the individual.  It is the gene, the unit of heredity.
He may argue that bread is made of genes, yet he puts the butter on with the persona (i.e. the individual which is any one of us). Dawkins may patent his method for this sleeping pill.  But for the sake of the breed, we shall better use the complex dimension of an anima (the genome as a unit). Of course its asks for the circumstance of our ability for genetic engineering - and that requires our awakening to the history of science.


Seeing the state of the repression may be bewildering, for the very dim awareness of our knowledge is shocking, nearly repulsive.  But most humiliating, is the participation of the Chruch, and then Academia, in repressing the Truth.  However, this can be a source for our compassion, and therefore, knowledge - for humankind may come to its end without ever realizing what was its drive.
Writing will be, nevertheless, as the Science of Magic see Ultimate Hermetism  formulates it - in the Book of Genetics see Moses' After-Book .

To see what level of resistance the 20th century has intensified, adding to the repression of the Inquisition, which put a halt to the Renaissance, you may follow the next page about Trismegistus see Trismegistus page - the story of the monotheist Egyptian King who was the patron of the Middle-Ages Alchemists.
