remains completely open. However, if we open the pipe for just five minutes at a
time, the first reservoir would be only partially filled, while the second would remain
empty. However, if the faucet is unable to run continuously and can only stay open
for five-minute intervals, the only way we could fill both reservoirs is to repeatedly
open the faucet for five minutes at a time until both tanks are completely filled.

Now let us return to the phenomenon of long-term memory and consider under
what conditions the etheric and astral imprints of an incoming signal may be

generated.
Hyperactive (i.e., higher than normal) circulation of primary matters occurs
within the cells only when a subject is in a state of stress or undergoing a heavy
emotional discharge (which is tantamount to the same thing). Any shock a person
suffers during his lifetime remains engraved on his memory down to the smallest
details, no matter how long ago it occurred.

Vivid pictures of the unusual or the shocking, the beautiful or the unique, the
dangerous or the blood-curdling -emerge from the fog of our memory in all their
vivid freshness and clarity, as though they had just transpired. So where does our
brain store all this information and how is it able to retrieve it?

Under stress or emotional excitation, the metabolic activity within all cells,
including the cerebral neurons, is several times greater than under normal conditions.
This leads to a much greater disintegration of the intracellular molecules into their
constituent primary matters, triggering a far more robust circulation from the physical
to the other cell levels. As a result, the incoming signal to the brain acquires a
potential sufficient to create both etheric and astral imprints upon each of those
levels.

That is why, following restoration of the DNA molecule to its original

qualitative structure (prior to the stimulus input), the etheric and astral imprints are
preserved. The system — etheric imprint/astral imprint — represents a stable
formation in and of itself, the integrity of which receives continuous support from
streams of primary matters generated by the continuously disintegrating organic and
inorganic molecules inside the neurons.

Microspace deformation, of both etheric and astral levels, by etheric and astral
imprints of an incoming stimulus ensures mutual stability thanks to the back-and-
forth circulation from etheric to astral and astral to etheric (see Fig. 82).
