The superego's access to the repressed and devotion of time to single topics make it both more knowledgeable and more intelligent than the conscious ego. This is the final installment in Merkur's three-volume exploration of the psychoanalysis of religious experiences-volumes one and two are The Ecstatic Imagination: Psychedelic Experiences and the Psychoanalysis of Self-Actualization and Mystical Moments and Unitive Thinking, also published by SUNY Press.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Merkur\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791449483\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791449486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 5.96w x 0.43d","brand":"Dan Merkur","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448946798847,"sku":"9780791449486","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8163c44f-63ff-47b3-9a0c-f6647dc2922b.jpg?v=1777261298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unconscious-wisdom-dan-merkur-9780791449486","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
