text_original: Forgetful  ness is no mere vis inertia:, as the superficial believe, rather is it a power of obstruction, active and, in the strictest sense of the word, positive — a power responsible for the fact that what we have lived, experienced, taken into ourselves, no more enters into consciousness during the process of digestion (it might be called psychic ab  sorption) than all the whole manifold process by which our physical nutrition, the so called "incorporation," is carried on.
