Synthesis of the Clock of the Unconscious


Pictorial philosophical presentation

There are 2 ways to present very briefly the whole Clock of the Unconscious:

  • The psychoanalytical Unconscious to which we add a clock that beats the measure of the unconscious, allowing resurgences of the past buried in the unconscious and exacerbated by a periodic phenomenon.
    This pictorial presentation would make sense if psychoanalysis desexualized itself and if it knew how to keep only basic mechanisms. It would be quite easy for psychoanalysts to verify the usefulness of the Found Clock, but psychoanalysts seem to be too closed in on themselves to even think about it
  • An improbable fusion of Freud’s Unconscious and Nietzsche’s Eternal Return is an imaginary vision of what the Clock of the Unconscious is

Synthetic presentation of the different concepts of the Clock of the Unconscious

At the base of the Clock of the Unconscious there is a cyclic phenomenon (3095 days on average, i.e. a little less than 8 and a half years) which is expressed in different forms.

  • “Returns of the Past” are past events that reappear in a similar or opposite way. These returns of the past have a probability of occurrence related to the identified cycle (or multiple). The “Theory of Return”, the mother of several applications that follow, indicates that a past event that has marked the collective unconscious can be relived at a multiple of 3095 days (a little less than 8 and a half years) at + or – 2 years. During this return it can give rise to an event similar or contrary to the original event. The most frequent return is 3 times the basic periodicity = about 25 years.
    Example: The return of the fall of the Berlin Wall (November 1989) and the disintegration of the USSR began 25 years later in 2014: Ukraine, multiple intimidations, international reaffirmation of Russia including in wars of international character (in reaction opposed to the initial event of disintegration of the USSR).
  • The “Quésako Cycle” is a “War Cycle” lasting approximately 3,095 days. It is an application of the “Theory of Return.”  It is a periodic phenomenon with an absolute anchor in time. Its T0 is the outbreak of World War I. It is a periodic phenomenon that periodically amplifies violence and conflict to the point of transforming them into war or escalation when war is already present. Combined with a method for identifying recurring or habitual conflicts, it can be used to make forecasts about war that have been verified. At the beginning of 2025, the periodicity was calculated at 3,095 days with a recalibration in 2014 (the recalibration remains experimental and will need to be confirmed at a later date).
  • The Relative analysis is used in exceptional cases to understand, following an exceptional event, the unconscious motivations that can help understand the unconscious behavior following the trauma of this exceptional event (example: September 11, 2001). Here again, it is the same periodic cycle that is used.
  • The parallelism of history has a disturbing example which has been described in a book but which is not yet described on this site.

All these concepts stem from the study of “returns of the past”. In the definition and use of the “Quesako Cycle,” we do not see “Returns of the Past,” but it was Returns of the Past that led to the discovery of this strange “War Cycle”. The same is true of the other concepts: they stem from the study of Returns of the Past but ultimately appear as concepts in their own right.

Other developments related to the Clock of the Unconscious :

  • Modeling the outbreak of wars In order to be able to integrate the observed data into a coherent explanation, it was necessary to propose a model of the outbreak of wars which is described in the book “A cyclical phenomenon that favors war?” ( to be published in US english and already published in French)

What applications have been made of the Clock of the Unconscious?

The most striking application concerns war forecasts made using the “Quesako cycle” and an adapted methodology resulting from the modeling of the outbreak of wars.


Predicting war before the slightest warning sign?

Science-Fiction? No, this will not give you the exact date of these expected events but a period during which the event is likely. A predictable event is never certain but simply has a probability. Several examples of predictions exist.

The concepts explained here should be considered as a complement to the classical methods.
