Okay, first off, does this term ring a bell to anyone?

According to popular belief, AT fields are a field that is our soul, in a way. These fields are what help us keep our form. And no, this would not be the same thing skin, or even atmospheric pressure keeping us together. It is something more. Please read on.

I heard about the idea of "AT Fields", of course, from the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion. The whole idea of having an AT field fascinated me, so I tried to see if there was more to it than just being something they threw together for an anime. Somewhere I read that the idea of an AT field originated from our old pal Siggy (Sigmund Freud). I looked more into this and I kept getting stuff about the "death instinct". The idea of the death instinct apparently originates from something called "Eros and Thanatos". This, in turn, can apparently be found in one of Freud's books entitled "Beyond the Pleasure Principle". Finally, something that I can go to a bookstore and look up. I'm going to the bookstore later today to see if they have it, but I'd like to know if anyone here knows more about thet AT fields than what every Neon Genesis Evangelion website boasts to "known" about these fields.

I think I've figured a much, much deeper meaning to these fields, and these ideas are strongly prevalent throughout the whole series, so... we'll see.
