The term engram pre-dated Hubbard's use of the term, appearing in the early
1900s having the meaning 'the means by which memory traces are stored as
biophysical or biochemical changes in the brain (and other neural tissue) in
response to external stimuli'. It was a scientific hypothesis. In Hubbard's
scam it's 'a mental image picture which is a recording of an experience
containing pain, unconsciousness and a real or fancied threat to survival. It
is a recording in the reactive mind of something which actually happened to an
individual in the past and which contained pain and unconsciousness'.
When you look at any spiritual movement or philosophy there is basically
something like an engram, there is something that is 'wrong' with you (which
probably you do not like), and the spiritual system is going to 'fix' it, and
you fall into the system because you think life will be better if you get rid
of whatever seems insufficient in you. In TM engram = stress, in Catholicism it
is 'original sin', in a number of philosophies it is 'ignorance' or 'illusion'.
In every case a supposed condition has to be reversed or eliminated, but the
methods used differ. It seems in Scientology the attempt is to get you to face
directly these unpleasant memories; in TM these things are supposed to be
gently released. These processes can be effective, but the danger is the mind
as memory gets loaded with all sorts of explanations for what you are doing. A
person basically does these things to improve their life, but if the
explanatory part of the process takes deep root, you end up as a 'true
believer' in the particular philosophy at hand, when all you were trying to do
in the first place was forget something or lessen the impact of that something.
Cool video of that volcano. One person who had a great view of a volcanic
explosion was the scientist David Johnston who was monitoring Mt. St. Helens in
1980. He was 10 kilometres from the mountain when it blew. He yelled into his
radio 'Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!' and was never heard from again. Road
workers found parts of his trailer 13 years later, but no sign of him. If he
had any engrams from the event, they probably disappeared at the same time he
did. Attached is a picture of Johnston made 13 hours before the explosion, and
a second image of the explosion which he directly faced (the image made by a
camper who was driving frantically away at the time).

For believers in the $cientology myth of galactic overlord and badass Xenu
bringing billions of his people to Earth and throwing them into volcanoes, this
time lapse segment of a Chilean volcano erupting will bring back memories of
what caused all the engrams you have to pay the big bucks to get rid of through
Co$ auditing.
