the active mentation in a being and the useful results of such active mentation are in reality actualized exclusively only with the equal-degree functionings of all his three localizations of the results spiritualized in his presence, called thinking-center, feeling-center, and moving-motor-center B1172; and B1162 B1165

concerning the Reason-of-knowing and the Reason-of-understanding B1166 ff

in every three-brained being, there can be crystallized data for three independent kinds of being-mentation, the totality of the engendered results of which expresses the gradation of his Reason B769 ff; see reason

the process of the mentation of every creature, especially man, flows exclusively in accordance with the law of association B15; and B21 B42 B52 B150 B228 B481 B591 B633 B1153 B1162 B1185; see association

man has in general two kinds of mentation: mentation by thought, in which words, always possessing a relative sense, are employed; and the other kind, which is proper to all animals as well as to man, mentation by form B15ff.; consider also B738 ff B1212 ff

I shall expound my thoughts intentionally in such a sequence and with such logical confrontation that the essence of certain real notions may automatically go into the subconscious and there bring about results which a man ought to have from his own conscious mentation B24 ff; and v B17 ff B21 B42 B1184; consider also B1056 B1165 ff

owing to his callow and therefore still impetuous mentation with unequally flowing associations, that is, based on a limited understanding B52

in spite of your having been created three-brained with possibilities of a logical mentation, yet you do not use this sacred property of yours for the purpose for which it was foreordained, but manifest it as cunning B195

since it is impossible for all three-brained beings to exist without the process of mentation and since your favorites wish to have the possibility of indulging in their evil god self-calming they then gradually and very efficiently accustom themselves that a sort of thinking should proceed in them purely automatically, entirely without the participation of any being-effort of their own; their thoughts flow in all directions without any intentional exertion of any part whatsoever of their presence B1059 ff; consider also B43 B450 B553 B738 ff B775 ff B857 B861 B870 B1049 B1053 B1062 B1184 B1190 B1192 B1200 B1234

…on Earth in the past it has been usual in every century that every man, in whom there arises the boldness to attain the right to be considered by others and to consider himself a “conscious thinker,” should be informed while still in the early years of his responsible existence that man has in general two kinds of mentation: one kind, mentation by thought, in which words, always possessing a relative sense, are employed; and the other kind, which is proper to all animals as well as to man, which I would call “mentation by form.”

The second kind of mentation, that is, “mentation by form,” by which, strictly speaking, the exact sense of all writing must be also perceived, and after conscious confrontation with information already possessed, be assimilated, is formed in people in dependence upon the conditions of geographical locality, climate, time, and, in general, upon the whole environment in which the arising of the given man has proceeded and in which his existence has flowed up to manhood.

Accordingly, in the brains of people of different races and conditions dwelling in different geographical localities, there are formed about one and the same thing or even idea, a number of quite independent forms, which during functioning, that is to say, association, evoke in their being some sensation or other which subjectively conditions a definite picturing, and which picturing is expressed by this, that, or the other word, that serves only for its outer subjective expression.

That is why each word, for the same thing or idea, almost always acquires for people of different geographical locality and race a very definite and entirely different so to say “inner content.” (BTG I)
