All Memory is Confabulation

 

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
