As a term of esoteric psychology: "Every perception passes from the
senses into the mind. The “I” translates all the information that is
collected by the mind in accordance with its own prejudices, desires,
fears, remembrances, preconceptions, maliciousness of a certain type,
fanaticism, hatred, envy, jealousy, passion, etc., etc." - Samael Aun Weor, Endocrinology & Criminology
