ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses self-sabotage and how issues with deadlines relate to an economics of punishment or apathy. It introduces S. Freud’s different levels of object relations development and tries to sketch the different estimates of power in the imagos that comprise the mind. Along with the ways the imagos link to the depersonalized social body, with deepening levels of ambition as the example, there are also impersonalized and superpersonalized aspects to them. The subjective feelings of the id impulse to kill the anal parental imago are prohibited because it is associated with the superior power of the parents. Whether it is one being in the world or feeling unreal or entering into a rivalry with the laws of physics that govern the world, Space can be isolated as an imago. Despite the power of the fantasy, which issued from PI with the castrated phallic mother imago, patient had no complaints of relating to external Space.
