Examples

“We all admit⟳ now that the Child does not come⟳ into the world with a mental tabula rasa of entire forgetfulness but on the contrary as the possessor of vast stores of sub-conscious memory, derived from its ancestral inheritances; we all admit⟳ that a certain grace and intuitive insight and even prophetic quality, in the child-nature, are due to the harmonization of these racial inheritances in the infant, even before it is born; and that after birth the impact of the outer world serves rather to break⟳ up and disintegrate this harmony than to confirm⟳ and strengthen it.”
