Human Mind is a palimpsest of memories, ideas, thoughts, dreams, observations and experiences... and our intelligence is a result of the superposition of all these.
Inspired from this passage from Nehru's book "The Discovery of India"
"...She was like some ancient palimpsest on which layer upon layer of thought and reverie had been inscribed, and yet no succeeding layer had completely hidden or erased what had been written previously. All of these had existed in our conscious or subconscious selves, though we may not have been aware of them. And they have gone to build up the complex mysterious personality of India..." From "The Discovery of India" by J. Nehru
