Imprints, concepts, sequences
run as filmstrips
Nothing but various forms
of acquired memories.
The quite mind is when left
with no choice
Shows the hidden face
with all these tricks
As and when surfaced are they,
in instant, in flight,
The awareness captures
right there, however swift!
Treated are they in
consciousness consciously
Vanished forever thus can not
come up to repeat
The emptying process is
one such interesting
The being observes the parts
non participatively.
The really real witness once
fully developed within
Witnesses first the so called,
used to be called 'self' changing!
Lord! You takes up for you only...
Thank you...

Three stores of memory,
Conscious memory : This refers to organized memory. It that which can bring up at any moment we like. It is under our control.
Subliminal memory : It can hold all things, even those which the mind cannot understand, e.g. if you hear somebody talking Hebrew, the subliminal memory can hold that and bring it up accurately in some abnormal state, e.g. the hypnotic. Exact images are retained by the subliminal memory. Mainstream psychology fails to distinguish between the subliminal and the subconscient. The subliminal consciousness that holds exact memories is far wider and fuller than our waking or surface consciousness, and so cannot be equated with the subconscient. In layman terms, one can say that the full uninterpreted video of daily events is stored into subliminal memory.
Subconscient memory: This is the memory of impressions, habits and impulses. It is further divided into mental, vital and physical. The mental subconscient holds repeated thought patterns, the vital subconscient holds desires and impulses while the physical subsconscient retains the memory of involuntary responses exhibited by our body.

Chitta, the basic consciousness, is largely subconscient; it has, open and hidden, two kinds of action, one passive or receptive, the other active or reactive and formative. As a passive power it receives all impacts, even those of which the mind is unaware or to which it is inattentive, and it stores them in an immense reserve of passive subconscient memory on which the mind as an active memory can draw. But ordinarily the mind draws only what it had observed and understood at the time, – more easily what it had observed well and understood carefully, less easily what it had observed carelessly or ill understood; at the same time there is a power in consciousness to send up to the active mind for use what that mind had not at all observed or attended to or even consciously experienced. This power only acts observably in abnormal conditions, when some part of the subconscious Chitta comes as it were to the surface or when the subliminal being in us appears on the threshold and for a time plays some part in the outer chamber of mentality where the direct intercourse and commerce with the external world takes place and our inner dealings with ourselves develop on the surface. This action of memory is so fundamental to the entire mental action that it is sometimes said, memory is the man. Even in the submental action of the body and life, which is full of this
subconscient Chitta, though not under the control of the conscious mind, there is a vital and physical memory. The vital and physical habits are largely formed by this submental memory. For this reason they can be changed to an indefinite extent by a more powerful action of conscious mind and will, when that can be developed and can find means to communicate to the subconscient Chitta the will of the spirit for a new law of vital and physical action. Even, the whole constitution of our life and body may be described as a bundle of habits formed by the past evolution in Nature and held together by the persistent memory of this secret consciousness. For Chitta, the primary stuff of consciousness, is like prana and body universal in Nature, but is subconscient and mechanical in nature of Matter.
This power of silence is a capacity and not an incapacity, a power and not a weakness. It is a profound and pregnant stillness. Only when the mind is thus entirely still, like clear, motionless and level water, in a perfect purity and peace of the whole being and the soul transcends thought, can the Self which exceeds and originates all activities and becomings, the Silence from which all words are born, the Absolute of which all relativities are partial reflections manifest itself in the pure essence of our being. In a complete silence only is the Silence heard; in a pure peace only is its Being revealed. Therefore to us the name of That is the Silence and the Peace. SA
