MEMORY


Because the subconscious reacts to all thought, imaginary or real, it also reacts to our memories. Memories are records of our experiences in the world, they are flavored by our personal views and attitudes of the world. When any two people recall an event that they have both experienced, they can recall wildly different recollections of the same event. This is because everyone uses their own inbuilt mental recording equipment.

We all see reality through different colored glasses. Our view of reality is colored by which sense we weight the most important. Some people pay more attention to what they see, others to what they feel, and others to what they hear. We all use our favored sensory colored glasses to record events as memory. Thus memories become mental video recordings of events. You being the director and editor of the recording, place more emphasis on what you have as a sensory bias, editing and leaving out what you think is unimportant.

So memories are very personally biased records of events and the memories we recall the easiest are the most emotional and sensory charged. Because a memory is a mental recording you have the power to constantly replay it, reliving it over and over. The subconscious reaction to you pressing the replay button is to reproduce the event with all the sensory and emotional intensity of the original event, biased by your personal editing.
