Nice! And good for you, friend. I love me some well-made subliminals as much as the other guy. Sometimes I feel like we're part of something big that's going to be making waves soon. 
Jung is a doozy to read, especially later Jung, I'll grant you that. Lacan is the French guy who employed the tools of linguistic structuralism to perform a meta-analysis of Freud's seminal works, the ones that formed the basis of all modern "psyche" inquiries, and then tried to see how far he can take it and how it's applicable to psychotherapy. Funnily enough, he does not seem to think much of Jung (he calls his approach towards the unconscious "Romantic", heh), but - at the same time - appears to have been heavily influenced by sources which, on this forum, would firmly fall under the umbrella term "Rule 4 stuff" himself. Heck, I even found a parallel between his linguistic signifier-unconscious perceptual filter-subject's intepretation relation example and Einstein's special theory of relativity. They both used the same analogy - the one with the "moving trains and relative observers".
He's not easy to read at first, because in his series of Seminars, aimed at a broader public, he employed a style of expression which, I guess, could be termed as "occult", and he did it on purpose. Then he'd write a companion piece to each seminar, which would elucidate on the issues he was driving at, but aimed at an audience of practicing psychoanalysts, so he'd use a lot of that lingo in those. These are the "Ecrits".
I actually ended up going to the library today to read a neat little collection of Lacan's thingies called "Female sexuality" (DMSI made me do it, I swear!
), and it got my head really going. I also chanced upon a reference to daddy Freud's final, unfinished essay which appears to be pointing towards a potential formative function of fear/anxiety in psyche formation, which I'm gonna be reading ASAP (supposedly it's in Freud's "The Splitting of the Ego in the Process of Defence").
