And, one more, from the Preface, page 14
"...I use the word 'unconscious' exclusively to refer to repressed, denied or disassociated content (memories, emotions, needs). For me, a person's unconscious is nothing other than his/her biography, a life story that, although stored in the body in its entirety, is accessible to our consciousness only in a highly fragmentary form. Accordingly, I never use the word 'truth' in a metaphysical sense. The meaning I give it is invariably that of a subjective entitiy, related to the actual life of the individual concerned. This is why I frequently speak of 'his' or 'her' truth, meaning the true story of the person in question, as evidenced by and reflected in his/her emotions. In my terminology, emotion is a more or less unconscious, but at the same time vitally important physical response to internal or external events--such things as fear of thunderstorms, rage at having been deceived, of the pleasure that results from a present we really desire. By contrast, the word 'feeling' designates a conscious perception of an emotion. Emotional blindness, then is usually a (self-)destructive luxury that we indulge in at our cost."
I found the passage "...stored in the body in its entirety..." absolutely compelling.
