8 The human mind also had some other parts to it,
9 Besides the aconscious part,
10 Such as the bsubconscious part,
11 And the cunconscious part,
12 Which basically ran the show,
13 And made the ego look pretty silly and insignificant,
14 Most of the time.
CHAPTER 51 For example, the dego might think that life was about going to work,
2 And eating and sleeping regularly,
3 And going out on dates every once in a while,
4 And maybe getting married eventually,
5 And having a few children,
6 And a nice old age,
7 But the eego was dead wrong about all that.
8 fActually, life was about a bunch of deep dark drives buried in the gunconscious,
9 Which were generally kept just barely under control by the hsuperego,
10 Meaning the way you thought you were supposed to act,
11 While the iego went on its jmerry way,
12 Hardly aware of anything,
13 Until Ziggie got it on the couch.
CHAPTER 61 When he got an kego on his couch, Ziggie could see right through it with his flashlight,
2 All the way to the lunconscious,

3 mWhich turned out to be full of sex,
4 And was pretty ugly to look at;
5 nFor example, Ziggie discovered that the ounconscious always wants to have sex with your pmother,
6 All of which causes problems,
7 Because the qsuperego doesn't like it,
8 And therefore doesn't tell the rego,
9 Which gets sneurotic,
10 tBecause nobody ever tells it anything.
CHAPTER 71 According to Ziggie, when an uego got vneurotic,
2 You had to take it on a tour of the unconscious,
3 Which is called wpsychoanalysis,
4 And involves,
5 By an odd coincidence,
6 xA couch and a flashlight.
7 Usually, the thing that was making the ego neurotic was something that happened a long long time ago,
8 In your childhood,
9 yWhen the unconscious was trying to have sex with your mother,
10 zAnd got upset because it couldn't,
11 Usually in the middle of some important phase,
12 Like the aaoral phase,
13 Or the bbanal phase,
14 Causing the ccsuperego to start telling the ddego a bunch of vicious lies,
15 Which the ego believed, of course,
16 eeBecause the human ego is capable of believing almost anything,
