Hubbard
"The engram is actually a very simple thing: it is a moment when the analytical mind is shut down by physical pain, drugs or other means, and the reactive bank is open to the receipt of a recording. When that recording has verbal content, it becomes most severely aberrative. When it contains antagonism on an emotional level, it becomes very destructive. When it is intensely prosurvival in content, it is most certainly capable of thoroughly deranging a life." [Hubbard, Dianetics - The Modern Science of Mental Health, page 207]
"Engrams are not memories but cellular level recordings." [Hubbard, Dianetics - The Modern Science of Mental Health, page 214-215]
