Portuguese to English
Art/Literary
Quando o sujeito abstrai ou seleciona um elemento da realidade, atribui a ele um determinado significado e estabelece relações e/ou implicações com outros dados e significados, ESTA IMBUIDO de sentimentos e emoções que guiam e/ou direcionam todas as três atividades.
MY INTERPRETATION:
When a subject abstracts or selects an element from reality, attributes this with a specific significance and establishes relationships and/or implications with other facts and meanings, then (HE/SHE)(THE ELEMENT IS) imbued with feelings and emotions that guide and/or direct these three activities.
Esta imbuido - refers to the SUBJECT or the ELEMENT - Collocationally both are possible and also contextually...
Any opinions? Please explain why. Thanks in advance.

Explanation attempt (The subject)
As far as I understand the sentence (which is very complicated indeed...)I would say that the thing which "esta imbuido" is the subject. The element would, as I see it, not be able to have properties such as "feelings" ascribed to it (or could the element refer to an animate being?). I do not know what the discussion refers to in the first place though...

Comment: "Yes, by now, I am convinced taht it's teh subject, thanks to all. As a comment to the person who mentioned context, I have 7000 words of it and I still couldn't figure out certain parts of the text!!!"

the element
At least that is what I think, spec. based on your previous query (which I am still trying to figure out). It seems that this element, that is chosen and retained from among all possible subjects, etc. is, by means of being chosen, etc., is CONFERRED these feelings and emotions, thus becoming *imbuido* of them
Am I making any sense at all?

the subject
... changed my mind!!!
What the other two say makes a lot of sense. Also, this being *imbuido* guides and directs the processes of selecting elements, attributing them significance and establishing relations with them, all of which are done by the subject. So it is the subject. QED.
Still not making sense, I know, but I think I understand myself
