Metapsychoanalyse and justice

To defend a theory calling the sexual life in question, shaking the dominant taboos, which returns to each one its free will vis-a-vis the morals constraints of the system, wasn’t obviously bound to please everyone. I dearly paid the price, already in Switzerland in the Seventies, and more recently in France by the means a dozen years behind the bars along with a thorough demolition of all I had laboriously built to advance the ideas and their diffusion.

Yes, you’re gonna tell me, but you were condemned for rape of minor, this is not a matter of theory… in any case, there is no smoke without fire. If justice condemns someone, this is not by chance…

But the things are not so simple: it is because I developed this radically new approach of the love and sex phenomenon, hustling all kinds of beliefs and attachments, that some people decided to reduce me to silence. People who had otherwise good reasons to be angry with me, for example a psychopath named J.K. who came to look after himself in my Instincto Center, and who did not understand anything about the theory; he started to spread to the other boarders the idea that the “métapsychanalyse” was an apology of all perversions, wrong behavior, homosexuality, pedophilia… I then kicked him out. He promised war and gained the first battle.

The news were at this time at full light on the Dutroux affair, the overheated media were going obviously to jump on the occasion offered by such a dedicated detractor. My ex-boarder went to find a journalist, Anne-Marie Casteret, known for the denunciation of various scandals. It is her which had started, rightly, the French affair of contaminated blood. It is also her who, certainly wrongly, protested that Justice was mistaken or misled the world in the Toulouse AZF affair, the explosion being due, she said, to dangerous terrorists. The inanity of these speculations was shown latter on, which has by the way put an end to her journalistic career. To note that Anne-Marie Casteret already had attacked me and partially demolished in 1989, through an shock article (“the guru who claims to cure AIDS by raw food, in the Event of Thursday”) after which the instinctotherapy was registered in the French list of sects. Condemned to pay a heavy fine to the parents of two young AIDS victims she had publicly revealed the disease, she had a good reason to be angry with me.

At the end of 1996, Anne-Marie Casteret and J.K. were going together to systematically campaign all the families remained in my Center with their children. I could know, in particular thanks to the testimony a German nutritionist, all about the pressures exerted to obtain so-called testimonies. It was absolutely necessary to eliminate the dangerous guru of the pedophilia, this evil individual, dangerous for the whole society through his perverse theorizations, even if it meant to lie, if necessary. Policemen charged with the investigation were also convinced, and like each time a case is put in the light by the media, they did their utmost to get to their ends.

Two among the pearls found in the case’s file: a child of the village was so well " interrogated" that he stated to have seen up to 100 nudists to bathe in the swimming pool of the Center. In fact: 2 Germans, arrived in the heat of a sumer day, believed they were still in Germanic ground, much more tolerant in this respect, and actually bathed naked; they were immediately stopped by the monitors, but the methods of interrogation succeeded in multiplying the score by 50; the policeman in duty believed that as hard as iron, if I judge by their attitude at the court four years later. The other pearl: a eight year old child to who the experts succeeded in making him say he had seen 27 knights in the courtyard of the castle, all on their horses, on green dresses with a black cross on the chest, guarding the enclosure of the sect…

Why " guru of pedophilia" ? Because the simple fact to allot a metapsychic purpose to non procreative sexuality inevitably raises the question of infantile sexuality. What can be the function of the early impulse of the small child, impulses that do not compare in anyway with the genital drive of adults: certainly not to exert any instinctive program related to reproduction. From there the idea that these early impulses would have as a function not to structure the Oedipus, like psychoanalysis claims, but the metapsychism, in particular extrasensory perception (ESP). It explains why these faculties are extremely rare in a society based on the driven back Oedipus. Knowing that the early impulses are directed (according to Freud) towards the adult, to allot a natural function to them equals, for those who do not distinguish between genital sexuality and infantile sexuality, to an apology of pedophilia… The short cut was too tempting, media and Justice did not miss to engulf there, expert psychiatrists first.

On the few 70 victims listed by J.K and Anne-Marie Casteret (more than in the Outreau case!), only two accusing girls, weakened by a failed love story, remained: one has apparently been sensitive to the prospect of substantial allowances as she accepted indeed an advance of 150.000 French Francs from the official Commission of Compensation a few months before the lawsuit, enough to irreversibly install her in her forged witness. Another, on the contrary, retracted a year after having yielded to police’s pressures and told how she had been forced to speak of a rape which never existed; her retractation was without any effect, the statement of her first declarations accompanied the case’s file up to the end. The same for a whimsical charge of J.K who had complained for reiterated death threats in order to stimulate investigators too passive according to his taste: this charge, that he withdrew formally after a year, still appears today at the head of the case’s file and polarizes at the very start every expert psychiatrist, judge or journalist.

What I learn from this epopee, is that today one runs the same risk by questioning the actual dogmas, for example the taboo of the Oedipus, than by questioning the dogmas of the Church during the Inquisition era. That the absence of condemnable acts does not guarantee at all against a miscarriage of the Justice, considering it is enough that a paranoiac and a journalist inspire some false witnesses on the basis of retributive vocation to succeed in the heretic’s elimination. That the supposed means of defense being guaranteed by a democratic justice such presumption of innocence, the inquiry at charge and discharge, the secrecy of the instruction and freedom of expression are completely illusory in this types of cases. That power is ultimately held by the media, because some well launched scoops are enough to carry the adhesion of the investigators, experts and judges. That we live without realizing, as regards to sexual morals, in a totalitarian world where it is as dangerous to develop a dissenting thought than in USSR under Stalin or in the USA of the time of McCarthy.

My wrong was certainly to have formulated publicly and have continued to defend at any cost a theory too far away from the common sense, in the illusion that logic and intellectual honesty would finally win…An example of that state of mind appears in my book “Beyond the Oedipal Complex or the Sexual Mistake of the West”, written in the heart of media and legal turmoil, given here as an attachment. It’s not to share what I think now, but rather to show what I said loud and clear at the time, and could explain the reactions I have been subject to.
