Every agenda implies a hidden agenda. Freud is the master of unfolding the hidden agenda. There are certain desires within the body as a whole that a part of the body denies. The "whole that is greater than the sum of its parts" is constrained by that net of social imperatives called morality. The idea is that the whole body is a body of wild, socially destructive desires, desires which must be bound up in a set of rules. The set of rules is what governs the whole wild body.

There is a resistance within the body as a whole to being governed, a desire to be free of the constraints of morality, the "chains of reason." This is the agenda which, if the corporate body is to persist in time/space must always be hidden. It is the wild body that the tribal circle keeps at bay; all of the body outside the sphere is hidden.

Denial is protection; I deny my desires in order to protect myself from the wild body. The wild body is the unconscious body; there is no protection. If you build a wall to keep it outside, you find it coming at you from inside. But build we must if the species is to survive.
