الصفحة 126 - Feeling is primarily a process that takes place between the ego and a given content, a process, moreover, that imparts to the content a definite value in the sense of acceptance or rejection ('like
الصفحة 79 - In other words, the reactions of reflex-arcs are controllable by mechanisms to whose activity consciousness is adjunct. By these higher centres, this or that reflex can be checked, or released, or modified in its reaction with such variety and seeming independence of external stimuli that the existence of a spontaneous internal process expressed as 'will' is the naive inference drawn.
الصفحة 127 - Hence feeling is also a kind of judging, differing, however, from an intellectual judgment, in that it does not aim at establishing an intellectual connection but is solely concerned with the setting up of a subjective criterion of acceptance or rejection.

If then meanings have no immediate physical correlates or counterparts in the brain, and if the meanings themselves do not persist, we must suppose that the persistent conditions of meanings are psychical dispositions.
الصفحة 186 - ... give it out as a great discovery, however. I would rather revert to the result we arrived at through investigating the dream I considered first. Telepathy has no relation to the essential nature of dreams ; it cannot deepen in any way what we already understand of them by analysis. On the other hand, psycho-analysis may do something to advance the study of telepathy, in so far as, by the help of its interpretations, many of the puzzling characteristics of telepathic phenomena may be rendered...
الصفحة 52 - ... Jung's concept of introversion so applies to the. nature of Blake as it appears in his writings, that it will be helpful to examine it. Jung writes: Introverted consciousness doubtless views the external conditions, but it selects the subjective determinants as the decisive ones. . . . Two persons ... see the same object, but they never see it in such a way as to receive two identically similar images of it. Quite apart from the differences in the personal equation and more organic acuteness,...
الصفحة 115 - In every way analogous to hunger, libido is the force by means of which the instinct, in this case the sexual instinct, as, with hunger, the nutritional instinct, achieves expression.
