Saṃskāra

/sahm-SKAH-rah/Philosophical
Mental imprint — the groove in consciousness created by every action, thought, and experience. Saṃskāras are the compiled subroutines that run automatically below the threshold of conscious awareness. The KALKI system treats saṃskāras as the primary operating code of the conditioned self — the source code that generates the illusion of a fixed identity.
