As Peter Gay states in the Introduction to his Freud Reader，"Freud is inescapable".This also holds true withD.H.Lawrence，who，although never fully accepted Freud，made use of Lus theories in order to work out his outlookon sexuality and his own"Exated，mystical irrationalism"（Gay，xxiii）.More has been said about，against or in favorof Freud's theories than about any other 20th century topic，and to some extent，"it may be a commonplace by now thatwe all speak Freud whether we know it or not"（Gay，xiii）.Unfortunately，and this is what we attempted to show inthis subchapter，popular readings and renderings of Freudhave somewhat diminished his importance as a scientistand stylist.The important thing is to avoid the imprecisediscourse deriving from this popularity and to exposeoneself fully and honestly to the body of his ideas，which canbe disconcerting and"sobering"（Gay，xiii）in the extreme.The original part of this section consists in our simultaneoustreatment of Freud as initial social and professional outsider，as pioneer，scientist and philosopher.Thereby we have triedto determine what exactly the basis of Freud's unprecedentedsocial and cultural impact was，and to lay the foundation ofour discussion of Lawrence's lughly personalized perceptionof psychoanalysis.

　　The present section deals with D.H.Lawrence's highlyindividualized perception of the psychoanalytic doctrine，plaang special emphasis on the author's understandingof the unconscious as mirrored in his major essays.Anydiscussion of Lawrence's perception of the unconscioushas to start by drawing a clear dividing line'betweenFreud's understanding of the term and the view reflectedin Lawrence's works of fiction and non-fiction.Wlule Freudlocates the unconscious in the mind，Lawrence refuses todo so and places it'in the body，mores specifically in theplexes and ganglia，which he considers to be the superiorseat of consaousness.Actually，Lawrence associates neitherthe unconscious nor consaousness with the mind，as themind is corrupt and and can breed only repression andunfulfillment.Moreover，he comes up with a personal termto subst：itute Freud's unconsaous：he calls it the Holy Ghostand views it as the vital connection between the individualand the universal consciousness.For Lawrence，as for Freud，consciousness is not and cannot be unitary.Lawrence holdsthat man carries the divine spark of creation within him，and it is this spark that establishes the connection betweenindividual and universe.Whenever the mind comes in，however，the equilibrium is thwarted，personal and socialconflict being the result.
