Generally, here’s how stuff goes, DR.
External events happen around/near Me that instantaneously plants data into My Gray Matter. [N: think Gray Matter = the cornfield]
TECH is basically the Farmer, who harvests this corn – uhh, data – and takes it back to The Invisible Library, where TECH sorts/organizes/creates Files for this data. More on what happens after, later.
While all this is happening, PASSION is simultaneously recording Memories, to which all My associated feelings/emotions are attached to each Memory in the mental Files. If it’s a good Memory with good feelings attached to it? PASSION can then recall the Memory & “relive the good feelings” attached to that data. If the Memory is bad – has negative feelings attached to it in the form of pain, trauma, etc. – then that Negative Emotional Content (NEC) can potentially get buried internally, if Conscious Me doesn’t allow that NEC to be expressed out of My Physical Body. [N: in some cases, Conscious Me isn’t even aware of the NEC – and unexpressed NEC will f#ck PASSION up for years afterwards, until Conscious Me gets a clue and starts poking around to dig the Pony out of the pile of sh#t that it’s currently buried under]
The data that TECH initially harvests can be Conceptual data, IRL Experience data, or both. Comparing apples to oranges: IRL Experience data always trumps Conceptual data, in most cases. This is because I can only gain understanding through Conceptual data, whereas I “learn the Lesson” through firsthand Experience data.
