S. Spielrein. Die drei Fragen. Imago, 1923, Bd. IX, S. 260.
An interesting experiment verifying the truths of psycho-analysis. The author asks her pupils to write down three questions deemed most important to fate or God. The questions are of a very abstract nature, dealing with the far future, religion and morals, etc.
But when the author asks her pupils to write down the thought that comes to their minds spontaneously, without reflecting, the questions and wishes deal with the nearest future and they are all of them personal. This proves how much narrower, more personal, are our problems when we proceed from the conscious to the unconscious.
