4. THE FUNCTION OF PERCEPTION AND MEMORY TRACES

PERCEPTION (SANNA)

The interaction of PERCEPTION with MEMORY is really quite complex.

The first thing to beware of is associating the PERCEPTION here spoken of with the CONSCIOUS PERCEPTION of an object.

Now pay careful attention here. The information from anterior processes is passed to PERCEPTION. Therefore, along with the extracted FORM, SENSATION and DISCRIMINATION information is present.

So we have Extracted Form + SENSATION + DISCRIMINATION.

Now, in the RIGHT HEMISPHERE from undifferentiated FORM, the extracted Form is received with information as a consequence of the processes of FUNCTION and ESSENCE.

So we have the EXTRACTED FORM from within the totality + the special extract of ESSENCE  + the special extract of FUNCTION.

The extraction of FORM is part of the UNDIFERENTIATED TOTAL FORM.

The special extraction of ESSENCE is the true OBSERVING NON-IDENTITY.

The special extraction of FUNCTION is the true SURVIVAL PARADIGM OF THE ENVIRONMENT.

That resultant unified (left plus right) ONE FORM (RUPA) is sent to MEMORY and with a best fit made, a NAME (NAMA) is extracted forming a NAMA-RUPA pair. This Nama-Rupa pair is within PERCEPTION.

THERE is then a conscious RECOLLECTION of the sense-impinging object within CONSCIOUSNESS.

It is important to note that there is not an Identity duality present. Form has been given a name but is not identified as being separate from all other phenomena. A Natural Identity is present as Observing without Cognitive being. The irritation that entered the system is still part of the whole.
