FREUD ON THE STARS

Recently re-reading Sigmund Freud's CIVILIZATION AND ITS DISCONTENTS, a book I had not read in many years and I wanted to get more familiar with Freud and his possible relationship to GURDJIEFF,that is, in terms of psychology,the mind, dreams, and the like, as well as the experiences of some of G's followers who were also psychologists and psychoanalysts, like Maurice Nicoll whose works I have not read for several years,though they sit on my shelves along with some others by him that are a bit more 'religious'. This quote I am taking out of Freud to give some importance and authority for a rational study of the stars beyond the Science of Astronomy and the arts of Science Fiction(the classical sources, like Verne,among others). On page 40 of the book I have, Freud says,"Man's observation of the GREAT ASTRONOMICAL REGULARITIES(I have enlarged the type here and other places for emphasis) not only furnished him with a model for introducing ORDER into his life,but gave him THE FIRST POINTS OF DEPARTURE." The hypothetical 'MAN' that Freud speaks of and of whom others also implicate in various ways in their 'studies' and works is that of ANCIENT, PRIMITIVE, perhaps,ape-like creature, MAN who, upon becoming ERECT(maybe like his penis when he was in heat) LOOKED UP TO THE STARS and the MOON at night, along with other marvelous things, like comets and meteors,etc. More to be said about all this.
