2154. About the inward memory, and its influence on the outward memory
Here it is permitted only to make note of this, that there is an inward memory of such a nature that all and the least details are written on it that a person has done, spoken or thought, and a more inward memory, which could better be called the character. Even the minutest components of ideas are there. So there is not the least thing that a person has thought from earliest childhood to the last moment of life that is not as it were written down on it and preserved. A person on earth may hardly be able to believe this, being acquainted only with the bodily memory.
