Not the smallest sensation , the most trifling action , impulse , thought , impression , or deed , can fade or go out from , or in the Universe . We may think it unregistered by our memory , unperceived by our consciousness , yet it will still be recorded on the tablets of the astral light .
Personal memory is a fiction of the physiologist .
There are cells in our brain that receive and convey sensations and impressions , but this once done , their mission is accomplished . There are cases on record of long months and years of insanity , of long days of fever when almost everything done or said , was done and said unconsciously . Yet when the patients recovered they remembered occasionally their words and deeds and very fully . Unconscious cerebration is a phenomenon on this plane and may hold good so far as the personal mind is concerned . But the Universal Memory preserves every motion , the slightest wave and feeling that ripples the waves of differentiated nature , of man or of the Universe .
