| BkIV:7.II.9 | Memory is linked to imagination. It operates through images intertwined with information that keep it in the memory register. Memories are simply information stored in the form of ideas, images, beliefs, emotions, or sensory feelings. Everything experienced in the past has been part of what the mind sought to configure in order to understand experience in its own way. To do so the mind used the relationship between intellect, imagination, and memory. This relationship forms the personality and one's way of seeing life. Thus when faced with apparently identical situations, everyone forms their own diverse opinions. This relationship is established for each self and is not exclusive to human beings but is true for every living being. |
