All memory is confabulation
We are way too confident in veracity of our memory
Memory it’s an image taken by shortsighted eyes
Words recorded by prejudiced ears
Events translated by biased cognition
Wise mistrusts memory
Wise understands the uniqueness of every moment
Wise is ready to meet every situation anew, only relying on his intelligence
Wise doesn’t value memory
Fools and losers value memory, veritably!
Fools find comfort in illusionary wisdom that cumulated experience provides
Losers find home in the past — and it’s projection — the future (which never materialises in the now)
Society loves it’s history
It is obviously just a grand meme
It serves us in ways we don’t even understand
It’s a perfect medium to push the narrative
Narrative is how we control others
Ironically it’s also how we are being controlled
The greatest illusion of human condition is predicated on memory — THE SELF
What are you without memory?
Not “you”
But the REAL YOU.
What you think you are are arbitrary images your mind recorded
What you really are is transcendent and infinite – the existence itself
Memory is confabulation
The more you dwell in it the more it becomes distorted
Since self is memory — obviously memory is self-serving. It is also why it’s so subjective.
You don’t want to build your worldview based on memory
If you want to understand a certain problem, truly understand — you must forget all the soundbites you accumulated in your head and unconsciously interiorised — and approach the problem anew.
Test it with rigour. Conduct diverse experiments. Dive deep and unravel.
Separate practical from psychological
Obviously record the pertinent data, regarding whatever practice you engage in
Disregard the psychological memory
Disregard the cultural memory
All that makes you dull. Insensitive. Unintelligent.
It prevent you from seeing how things truly are.
It prevents you from understanding the human condition.
Psyche must be observed day by day, without judgment, without agenda
Preconceptions about it preclude understanding
If you have an idea of what you are supposed to feel and what you are supposed to be — the truth about yourself and your condition will obviously elude you
Be simple in your relationship with yourself by discarding memory
