The 'censor' in the mind represses lawless ideas. 'Re- 

 pressions' and their results (phobias and symptoms of many 

 kinds) 153 



The method of psycho-analysis for discovering repression- 

 complexes, .......... 155 



which can also be discovered by the interpretation of 

 dreams, since every dream is a wish-fulfilment . .156 



The formation of repression-complexes can be prevented by 

 'sublimation.' i.e. by consciously directing the impulse 

 along other channels, since the danger lies in preventing its 

 discharge in some activity 157 



Freud's theory is materialistic; but a mechanical basis is 

 what we should expect, as a determinate environment is 

 necessary for the emergence of free spirits . . .158 



(6) Bergson divides memory into habit and pure memory, 



the habit-phenomena being localised in the brain . . 159 



All memory is directed towards the future . . .160 



Freud, all unintentionally, admits teleology, since he states 

 that the censor is working towards an end . . .162 



Freud's description of the one 'censor' does not tally per- 

 fectly with the facts of mental life. It would be truer to say 

 that each lower impulse is repressed by a corresponding 

 higher idea, so that as many ' censors ' are called into being 

 as there exist anti-social impulses to be dealt with . .164 



The past is ever active in the now, yet the spirit must leave 

 past stages behind 164 



The danger arising from the "conspiracy of silence" . .166 

 The place of the censor in the history of evolution . . 168 



As all memories persist, and as Christ passed through all the 

 stages of a man's growth and development, therefore He is 

 as near to us in childhood as in manhood, and can enter 

 perfectly into all our experience 169 



His perfect Manhood is taken up into His Godhead . . 169 



Though the abstract idea of the necessity of the Incarnation 

 commends itself to man's reason, somehow the actualisation 

 of it in time (the coming of Christ in a certain year of the 

 Roman Empire) gives rise to questionings . . . .170 



But these difficulties disappear before a truer view of the 

 nature of time. The Incarnation is an eternal fact . .174
