Hello, PhysOrg Readers-Thinkers, Everybody, Mind, and Spirit! smile.gif

The study-lead author concludes that "Our findings provide compelling support for the idea that memory and future thought are highly interrelated and help explain why future thought may be impossible without memories."

This is no surprise; in fact the study lends supports to my latest theory of “Memophorescenicity”—the Quantum Mechanics of our Memory Modulation that gives rise to the Evolution of God in our Mind—which I presented recently here, Let"s begin the Dialogue and Reconciliation of Science and Religion Now! (PhysOrgEU; December 5).

Thank you all for your kind attention and cooperation in this matter. Happy reading, thinking, scrutinizing, imagining, and enlightening! smile.gif

It has been known for some time that the brain is untrustworthy as far as memories are concerned. Past lives are merely manipulations of our own memories, equivalent to dreaming.

We remember our own past wrongly often, remembering it as we want it to be rather than as it actually was.

Children have wrongly believed that they have been molested because of leading questions.

A fake robbery experiment showed that a group of people all remembered different accounts only an hour later, in perfect conditions without any outside influences.

A friend claims that she can remeber as far back in time as when she was the age of 2 yrs. old.

Is that possible? If not, how far back in time can the brain recollect?

Thank you.

Let me give an example of how this affect works. Say we had only two memories, one of the color white and the other of the color black. With paint, if we mix black and white we get gray. So if the brain was firing both the black and white memories at the same time, since that is all it has, it would create an ambiguity, within our mind, while also setting the stage for a third gray memory that does not yet exist. The sensory expectation of the possibility of black-white, which is not black or white but both, makes us become aware when something similar appears in reality. This allows us to use the proper memory storage channels so we can hard store it. Next time, one only needs to fire the gray memory to see gray, i.e., energy saver.

Let me give a different example, say one has the memory of a bad experience with a dog, which was very frightening. They are walking down the street, and see a different dog. Even though one may never have seen this type of dog before, it is possible to tell it is a dog, due to the right hemisphere, which stores memory into 3-D classes. In this case, it uses the dog class. The 3-D memory can extrapolate the data already in there, to show this new input variation lies within the 3-D dog class parameters.

The orginal dog, wich made the person afraid is also in that class. This particular dog is is also stored in the left hemisphere, as the unique memory event that created the fear in that person. The result can be an average between the two sides of the brain, with the entire dog class, averaged with the bad memory of one dog, to create an anticipated fear of all dogs or anything that enters the 3-D dog class.

Neural memory, at least in humans, does not require sensory input for storage. It can be done through the imagination. Some ideas may pop into your head and are then stored from there. In this case memory farming is done right in place. The easiest way to see how this is possible is to go back to the original black and white memories. Say these were created by visual input. Each will result from a different current going into the eyes, causing each memory to be at a slightly different potential. If we try to connect this dual potential with an intermediate memory, it would have to be analogous to the average optic current between black-white.

The old saying necessity is the mother of invention uses this principle. The necessity creates a tension in the brain that will increase the potential of the brain. Neurons now need to lower potential. The result can be the original memories changing resulting in a new direction. There are short and long terms memories with the short term memories more pliable. If one has a higher ratio of short to long term, one can adapt easier to change. If the ratio of long to short is too high, adaptation is much slower.

I think your friend was probably trying to pull your legs: In a normal developmental situation, our brain starts to learn, experience, and interact with the outside world of senses, as soon as we are each born; and thereby, thereof the beginning of our Mind and Emotion to interact, form, and reform our Memories as accretion of information as Intelligence along the way, when we’re all growing up into adulthood—albeit normally, memorably, accumulatively, as well as renewably in our daily Memory formation, recollection, reflection, as well as expression, as those Memories in our active and creative thoughts, imaginations, fantasies, etc.

For a person to be able to recall vivid Memories as far back as to the experiences of a 2-year-old toddler, those Memories would have had to be traumatic or extraordinary in nature, so as to be able to make such Memories indelible in and for one’s life, such as, the experiences in child abuse.

Whereas in the case of (traumatic or persistent) child abuse, the ability of a toddler to learn, experience, interact, form, or develop normal Intelligence would have had been severely interrupted or arrested at childhood—at which time a toddler would have had been unable to continue learning, sensing, thinking, growing, etc, normally, sociably, associatively, emotionally, intellectually, as well as spiritually.

As such, if your friend had had a normal childhood—and her adult Intelligence was on par with her peers—the Memories of hers as a toddler were probably un-falsifiable or un-testable, and therefore un-confirmable or un-believable (except in and to herself); this is because all those Memories could have had been easily created out of her own fantasy or imagination of herself as a toddler, that she thought, that she might have had once been—an imagery of a toddler, that could have had been created in and by her now dynamic, associative, relative, fantastic, imaginative, adult Mind; and coupled with a self-reflective or imaginative childhood Emotion, of course!
