Thread 1:
A fundamental principle of dynamic psychology is that the unconscious never lies.

Thread 2:
Accidents, slips of the tongue, misspellings, failures of memory – each has a coherent and meaningful relationship to the rest of one’s psychic life.
(pg. 39)

Thread 3:
Learning and memory are central to our very identity. They make us who we are.
(pg. 116)

Thread 4:
I learned from experience that there are many situations that can’t be decided on cold facts alone. One ultimately has to trust one’s unconscious, one’s instincts, one’s creative urge.(pg. 149)

Thread 5:
Listen to the patient, not the literature.
(pg. 152)
Chinese Symbol for Listening

Thread 6:
Day Science is rational, logical and pragmatic. Night Science is a workshop of the possible. Hypotheses take the form of vague pre- sentiments, of hazy sensa- tions.(pg. 240)
![Page 9: The Enchanted Loom reviews Eric Kandel's book, In Search of Memory](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/5880cef11a28ab9c3a8b4e93/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Thread 7:
Recall of memory is a creative process. What the brain stores is thought to be only a core memory. Upon recall, this core memory is then elaborated upon with subtractions, additions, deletions and distortions.
(pg. 281)

Thread 8:
Built into the neural pathways of the brain are complex rules of guessing; they allow the brain to extract information from impoverished patterns. The brain is an ambi- guity-resolution machine par excellence!(pg. 297)
![Page 11: The Enchanted Loom reviews Eric Kandel's book, In Search of Memory](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/5880cef11a28ab9c3a8b4e93/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Thread 9:
Our sensory systems are hypothesis genera- tors. We confront the world neither directly nor precisely. Nerve fibers are not high fidelity record- ers. They accen- tuate certain features, neglect others.(pg. 302)
![Page 12: The Enchanted Loom reviews Eric Kandel's book, In Search of Memory](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062822/5880cef11a28ab9c3a8b4e93/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Thread 10:
Unconsciously perceived threats disproportionally affect people with high background anxiety, whereas consciously per- ceived threats activate the fight- or-flight response in everyone.
(pg. 387)
