All about Memory

[Bill Ryan]

To start this new thread, I'm copying this interesting post by grapevine on the Nuggets of Truth thread (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?120891-Nuggets-of-Truth&p=1694411&viewfull=1#post1694411).

The short video, less than a minute, is about how the brain deletes unneeded memories every night.

Wonder how it decides what to discard and also whether this has any connection at all to Alzheimers . . . .

To continue from the above, grapevine's post (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?120891-Nuggets-of-Truth&p=1694411&viewfull=1#post1694411) immediately triggered several thoughts which I felt might spark an interesting discussion.

1) I'm pretty much fully convinced that the brain does not 'store' all of a person's memories biologically. Rather, I'd argue that the brain is a kind of hyperdimensional interface that can access a great deal of 'memory storage' that's assigned to the soul/spirit, and resides elsewhere in some nonphysical realm. (Some memories stay with the body. But not all.)

A couple of bulletpoints to add:

With Alzheimer's, my best guess is that it's the the biological interface with the non-physical memory storage that starts to malfunction.



Proof of the non-physicality of memory — if any readers are prepared to accept it! — lies in the human ability under the right conditions and assisted by a experienced regression therapist to recall memories from their past lives, and therefore of course their past bodies.

2) There have been a few well-documented clinical cases of people who were totally unable to forget anything at all. Every word of every book they'd read, every conversation they'd ever had, every phone number they'd ever called.

One of the most celebrated was the Russian Solomon Shereshevsky (1886—1958, his Wiki page here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_Shereshevsky)) who was extensively studied by psychologists.

Shereshevsky actually suffered and struggled a great deal because he was periodically overwhelmed with memories of the tiniest details from years past that bore no useful relation to his present day life at all.

And here's a fascinating Avalon thread that's partially about that kind of ability:


Hyperthymesia (HSAM): When a person's memory of their life is nearly perfect (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123233-Hyperthymesia--HSAM--When-a-person-s-memory-of-their-life-is-nearly-perfect)

There have been other cases (the supergenius polymath John von Neumann (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann) being one of them) of people who didn't have Hyperthymesia (HSAM) but — like Matt Damon's character Will Hunting in the movie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Good_Will_Hunting) — could still perfectly recite pages of text from books they'd read long ago.

The human brain is one of the (if not the) most amazing things in our world. The idea that it contains almost 100 billion neurons and connects trillions of synapses is mind-boggling (pun intended). I honestly believe that we will one day be able to communicate without words, pilot spacecraft using only our minds. I also believe that we will eventually be able to share consciousness, explore currently hidden dimensions and alternate realities. We have already started to learn how our minds can cure sicknesses and illnesses. My most delightful and recurring daydream is the day we discover how our minds can transport us around our globe and through our galaxy.

Top 10 surprising memory facts

There is virtually no limit to the amount of information you can remember
But we can only remember a handful of things in our ‘short term’ memory
Learning new things produces physical changes in your brain structure
Being able to access information quickly (i.e. on the Internet) makes you less likely to remember it
We can remember things that didn’t even happen
Testing yourself on information is better than simply rehearsing or re-reading it
(Almost) Forgetting something makes you more likely to remember it
Memories start forming in the womb – as early as 4 months into a pregnancy!
There is no single place where a given memory lives in the brain; it’s scattered across many different regions
Emotional intensity prioritises how memories are stored

Wouldn't it be fantastic if we could pull memories out of ourselves and view them in 3D.

Yes I agree with this argument that the brain does not store all the information, not just from our present but “previous” lives and I may add also awareness that we are living more than one life at the same time. I have also only experienced being in two bodies at once so far. I have also an experience where I actually saw the future of my personal life unfold shortly before it actually happened and also being aware of it happening at the same time. It is like watching a film, being aware of the film, knowing the next step in the film and also feeling bored because you know what comes next and it does.
In teen years I still remember having frequent “deja vue” dreams which would come true the following week or so.

Personally I have had past life recall several times throughout my life which have helped me understand more these people that have come and gone in my life and reasons why they came and behaved the way they did in my life.

Why do scientists only study the “cold” case? They study the physical part and psychological part but they don’t go beyond that because it is the unseen or paranormal? You know what I mean?

Also in today’s world don’t environmental and other factors like the wifi, smartphones, ai, aerial spraying, food poisons, pharma drug poisons, all these factors are not taken into consideration? Don’t these factors affect people physically and mentally? Is Alzheimer’s happening more now because of the state our planet is in now with the above mentioned factors?

Aren’t young people also affected by all that is going on in the world today and their upbringing in this current society of high tech, disassociation of feelings, talking indirectly through a phone, ipad or computer with another human rather than facing and talking directly to that person?

Are third world countries with poor, starving people, and people living in remote parts of the world, people in war torn areas, included in this sleep study conclusion?

Sorry but that is what comes currently to my mind. ( I know the above conclusion is just a study of “city folk” right? ) 😔

Ben Davidson, whose work is the main focus on the Geomagnetic Reversals and Ice Ages thread, reports that he has a rare type of Hyperthymesia.
Besides giving those with the condition a certain intellectual advantage, it can also lead to emotional difficulties.
Some details here:


If you listen to any of the online discussions and interviews Ben has been featured in, it's clear that he knows the data inside and out and can rattle off facts and stastics verbatim like a computer.
That is part of having a rare condition known as Hyperthymesia. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperthymesia
In Ben's case, which is even more rare among those with the condition, his retentive memory is focused on data more than experiences from his past, which is apparently what most hyperthymesiacs experience.
That probably explains why his behavior has been so volatile lately since letting go of traumatic experiences (such as the recent, painful divorce) is very difficult for those with Hypertheymesia.


People with hyperthymesia also have difficulties letting go of difficult events or traumatic memories, which can stay with them for life. Joey DeGrandis, who was featured in the magazine Time said, "I do tend to dwell on things longer than the average person, and when something painful does happen, like a break-up or the loss of a family member, I don't forget those feelings."[14]
Cases of hyperthymesia have forced many people to re-evaluate what is meant by "healthy" memory: "it isn't just about retaining the significant stuff. Far more important is being able to forget the rest."[15]Ben is an even more rare study case since his memory is focused so much on data rather than life experiences, but the condition itself is extremely rare and little is known about it as yet.




And here's a fascinating Avalon thread that's partially about that kind of ability:

Hyperthymesia (HSAM): When a person's memory of their life is nearly perfect (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?123233-Hyperthymesia--HSAM--When-a-person-s-memory-of-their-life-is-nearly-perfect)

Before I even got to your post I was wanting to say something about the full body intelligence and how important it is to keep it balanced.

"emotional difficulties" is putting it mildly.

Re the underlined, bolded in quote above.....

I have a strong suspicion that the 'non physical realm' where all the memories exist could be (is) the - the 'Kordylewski Clouds' (https://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?121647-The-Kordylewski-Clouds-Plasma-Universe) <<<<< link to my thread on the subject - where I speculate (top of page 2) that the Kordylewski Clouds are the location of the 'fabled' Akashic Records .....

In the last few years I often have very obscure memories pop up at random - more often than not, not noteworthy at all...like a view or location or a flash of an ordinary moment from the past....

I actually wonder if 'they' are messing around with the 'Kordylewski Clouds' in some way - maybe to use for super computers and Artificial Intelligence - and the area is being stirred up and disturbed and this is why these very random memories pop up out of nowhere...like a kind of spillage - ?

' ... that the brain is a kind of hyperdimensional interface that can access a great deal of 'memory storage' that's assigned to the soul/spirit, and resides elsewhere in some nonphysical realm' (Bill Ryan)

I have believed this for a long time, after much reading and personal experiences. That we are connected to a vast store of information (a collection of everyone's memories) is a compelling explanation for real 'psychic abilities'. We access information that is not in our personal experience nor that we have read or heard from other people. The information is not held in the quantum computer in our head (our brain). We can access this shared store of memories through deliberate action (e.g. hypnosis) or spontaneously (e.g. this has happened to me through pacing, which I was not doing for that purpose but to cope with overwhelming stress and anxiety), or in dreams.

If we access information about a future event, are we accessing memories? Or are we accessing likely events in the future? Or is time not linear in this quantum space outside our bodies?

And how do these memories affect human belief and behaviour? Do evil people deliberately trigger these memories to manipulate people's behaviour? Is that why groups of people repeat the same behaviour, even when history shows that the outcome will be bad and there is another choice that leads to a better outcome?

Thought patterns and brainwaves, memories and dreams, consciousness itself is interfaced with a technology so highly advanced our little minds can not even comprehend or understand what it is.

We try to label this as God or Source.

The globalist and demonic elite billionaires are trying to replicate this technology through super computers, AI, and transhumanism but they will only mess things up because they are evil and will mostly just weaponize their insane project and experiment.

God or the Source will see human advancement with this technology as a virus and likely put a stop to it through it's own firewall and anti-virus programs, which we call "Catastrophe" or an "Extinction Level Event". I think something similar happened around 12,000 years ago.

Back then it was a massive flood that wiped out the evil beast, this time it'll likely be a blast of fire from the Sun that'll wipe out this evil beast of our time.

... a very interesting topic indeed. The brain is extremely fascinating, and hopefully as we awaken more in the near future we'll be able to take advantage of its entire capacity and realize it's (our) multi-dimensional abilities which lie quite dormant in most of us.

I agree with all the above points mentioned.

A couple of takeaways as well from my humble perspective:

1/ The physical brain with its physical memory allow us from a soul's perspective to focus on individual experiences in our lifetime (incarnation) which would otherwise get lost in the sea of memories we have collected in our overseeing energy.

2/ Also, considering an other side of the memory discussion, imagine how easily programmable the human brain really is. It looks to form and recognize patterns and likes to stay within those boundaries set, the "comfort zone". This of course can have many consequences, good and and not so good. It is up to each of us to be discerning and take responsibilty for our thoughts.

I see it in myself, middle aged, a great upbringing in a loving family which was already esoterically aware of things -- how when I look at memories from the 70's at christmas (just 1 simple example, there are many), we were overjoyed to receive the same gifts as others received that were being advertised at the time, as the latest convenience items every intelligent person should deserve to get. My dear parents were programmed too -- no exception.

I think I'm 90% awake now in a world which seems to be getting smaller all the time and I am starting to realize how programmed society really is. As I look at a particular previous life I think I may have had, I also realize the heavy programming that was taking place at that time as well.

Some very wise ascended masters have described our lives on earth as maya, an illusion...

The human brain is quite fascinating.
Happy holidays everyone!

I have selective memory that I don't seem to have much control over, at least not in a natural flow way. I might be able to make a deliberate laboured effort to remember stuff I wouldn't easily and lazily remember but there has to be a stick or a carrot involved on those occasions.

Then there's forms of memory or 'environments' from which I retain my selections. Things that stimulate delight, awe, repulsion, attraction, and on and on in those ways. They are a primary kind of memory selection for me. People's names are something completely different and I'm hopeless at remembering them. Just being introduced to someone and told their name is useless for me. I will have forgotten the name as soon as the next conversation gets going. People's names only stick with me after I've got anther reference point for them, from my primary lists.

An so it goes. It seems the upshot from all that is my personal framework for how I do general dot joining and world view development etc.

I'm sure that if someone else here were to, in a matching way, list their own primary naturally memorables it would be very different and a very different foundation for their own dot joining and world view development.

If I'm roughly right about that, how then are we to share an intelligent unity ?

I have a pretty good long term memory. I can remember almost every address I ever had, every phone number I ever had, I even remember my 6th grade combination to my locker and almost everybody's name I went to school with. (if I sit down and just think about it). I can easily remember every teachers name that I ever had K thru 12. I don't know why I remember these things as it really serves no purpose.

But, at the same time I can stand up from my computer to get something and before I take two steps I can't remember what the hell I stood up for and what it was I was going to get.

I think the connection to the God or Source interface is hereditary as most of my family members also have extremely good memories. My sister is like a walking trivia computer and my dad was extremely strange. You could open a dictionary and my Dad could tell you what every word in it meant (in fine detail and by using examples). He read books all the time and was like a walking encyclopedia.

I think the God/Source technology is in the DNA of every living thing and also sparking and active in the elements on a sub atomic level. I think some of us are like expensive large capacity hard-drives and others are just "floppy disks". (capable of upgrading). I think these hard-drives and floppy disks reside in our souls and or spirits. I also think each and every one of us are constantly looking directly at or flowing with the God/Source, actually even physically connected to it somehow, but we don't or can't recognize what it is. It's everywhere, we are surrounded by it and inside of it at the same time.
