Phrasing

The article states "The main argument for this is that psychoanalytical theory holds that all thoughts are preserved in a conservation of psychic energy.". This is a very weird phrase with no further links and seems to mean that thoughts / feelings are experienced in a moment and encoded / remembered like this with no immediate update on recall with new information. Hence the adult can recall the oceanic feeling and feel it to be of deep impact because they had this thought in reality when they were an infant, and cannot account for its loss later in life. This should maybe be stated better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.70.81.154 (talk) 06:31, 27 January 2017 (UTC)
