English term or phrase: the whole bias and current of his being
...He does indeed feel himself a new man. He loves the things that once he hated, and hates the things that once he loved. He has new habits, new companions, new ways, new tastes, new feelings, new opinions, new sorrows, new joys, new anxieties, new pleasures, new hopes, and new fears. In short, the whole bias and current of his being is changed.

Está hablando del nuevo nacimiento.

toda la trayectoria de su ser


Explanation:
It seems to me that in this sentence, "bias" is to be understood primarily as "inclination", "course", more so than as "prejudices". The meaning of "trayectoria" - "curso que a lo largo del tiempo de una persona (...) en sus actividades intelectuales, mórales, artísticas, económicas, etc." perfectly synthesises the meaning here conveyed by "bias and current".
