                  The astral  imprints  of incoming  stimuli are quite  stable due  to  their  inertness
            which stems from the qualitative difference between astral and etheric imprints. This
            is because an astral imprint is derived from the merging of two primary matters: such
            a hybrid possesses qualities distinctly different from its two constituent free matters
            taken separately. Consequently, to destroy it  — that is, to "liberate" its constituent
            matters  from  their  mutual  bond  —  would  require  an  impact  far  greater  than  that
            required to wipe out an etheric imprint.

                  Thus,  in  most  instances,  after  the  "storm,"  the  astral  imprints  of  an  incoming

            stimulus are pre-served. And they  are precisely  the basis and  means  of recovering
