Leaving aside memory – which

allows us to remember, for example, the

experiences of our youth – we all have

latent and unconscious tendencies that

arise under certain circumstances and

influence the way our minds react. Such

tendencies are the product of powerful

experiences in the recent or distant

past, which cause us to react

unconsciously without our necessarily

remembering those experiences. It is

difficult to explain these tendencies and

how they manifest other than by

saying that they are the imprints

of past experiences on the

subtle consciousness.

除了像能讓我們記得一些

兒時經驗的那種記憶能力之外,

有些潛藏無意識的傾向會不時升起

而影響了我們心智的反應.

這些傾向來自於某些

近來或遙遠的深刻經驗,

在不需要實際想起這些經驗的情況下,

我們的行為反應已經無意識的被影響了.

這些傾向和它們披露的來龍去脈都很難解釋清楚,

只能說這些是過去經驗在心識上留下的細微印記.
