Definition:
In Scientology, an engram is a mental image picture of a traumatic event. Every detail associated with this event is recorded, and references to any of these details can trigger negative effects from the engram. Engrams are formed throughout our lives and remain with us even if we have no conscious memory of the event. Thus, we can be influenced by engrams formed during our birth or in previous lives. A prime goal of Scientology is to eliminate engrams.
