58 CEREBRAL FORCES. [i. 



i. An obscure or confused anticipation or expectation of an 

 internal or external future sensation, produced by a nearly direct 

 external sensation (34, 80), which anticipation or expectation 

 consequently contains sub-impressions of the future sensation 

 within itself (73), and developes similar material ideas in the 

 brain, consisting of the constituents of the material ideas of 

 the future sensation, that is to say, they are imperfect future 

 material sensations (84, 66). 



ii. The sensational stimuli (84 — 88), pleasure or pain, which 

 communicate to the imperfect material sensation in the brain, 

 the impression of pleasure or pain. 



iii. The spontaneous strong effort of the mind to develope 

 the entire foreseen sensation (81), which is connected with a 

 strong endeavour of the cerebral forces to complete the im- 

 perfect material sensation that the mind foresees : or, in other 

 words, to develope the foreseeing of the instinct or passion 

 (82, 90, 91). 



93. When a sensational instinct or a passion excites actions 

 in the economy, in virtue of its influence on the brain, they 

 will be compounded : 1. Of those arising from the material 

 ideas of a sensational foreseeing or anticipation. 2. From 

 those of the stronger sensational stimuli in the brain. 3. From 

 those of the more active endeavour of the cerebral forces to 

 develope the entire material sensation which is foreseen (92). 

 The stronger each of these are, the more vigorous its actions 

 in the economy (85, 87, 90, 91). 



94. The proper development or excitement of a sensational 

 instinct or of a passion is as follows : Firstly, there is an 

 external sensation or other sensational conception in the mind. 

 This causes the obscure and confused anticipation and expecta- 

 tion of a complete future sensation, that is highly pleasing or 

 annoying, which indeed is no other than a portion, — a collec- 

 tion of many sub-impressions (merkmale) of the future sen- 

 sation, or, in other words, an imperfect sensation with its 

 sensational stimuli. Hereby the mind is moved to apply its 

 spontaneous conceptive force with stronger energy to produce 

 this foreseen sensation (whether it be the opposite of another 

 or not), — that is, to produce all the sub-impressions wanting 

 to complete the true sensation, and thereby to satisfy the 

 instinct or passion (to fulfil its anticipation) (81) ; this cannot
