How to reconstruct memories

First you need to understand that there are different types of memories:

1. Physical brain memories
2. Memories within the field of meaning

If you experience something within reality, that experience is not only "stored" within spacetime – as an objective representation of what happened –, it's also stored within the field of meaning – as a subjective representation of what the experience means to you.

The physical brain stores memories as well, but those are just representations of your physical sense perceptions.

The brain can be compared to RAM in a computer. It stores representations of perception because not everything that happens in the physical world has a meaning to you. But you need to remember certain things nonetheless, at least short term, so the brain can run your body without you having to consciously think about everything. In other words: The brain is like a muscle with "muscle memory".

What you now need to understand: You don't need the brain to remember important things. Those are stored in the field of meaning. You can use the brain to "download" those memories, but only if you want to translate them into language.

But you can also "feel" a memory. It's the smell of breakfast on a saturday morning, hearing your favorite song while driving to a job interview, or how you felt when you met the love of your life.

Now you need to understand: The field of meaning is a continuum. It's not linear, like physical spacetime. It's a representation of connections. And because of that, meaning changes over time.

This is the reason why you forget things, even if they were important to you in the past. They are not important anymore in the present. The importance is still available in the field, but the connection is weakened.

Think of it like a spiderweb. You start in the center, and need to follow the connections to access a certain point. The more connections you need, the further away the memory is from the center, which is what is important to you in the present.

Here's the thing: If you want to remember something that happened a long time ago, the best way to "reconstruct" the memory is to make it the center of the spiderweb. Try to find other meaningful experiences around that time. The more you get, the stronger the connections. You can also try to reconstruct a trail from the present to the past. Like jumping from stone to stone to cross a creek.

How the zapping works

When the death trap zaps you, it rattles your sense for meaning. In other words: Everything becomes meaningless at once. It doesn't cut the connections, but makes them seem unimportant to you – at least for a moment.

The reason why this works is always a fear. Because meaning is not only positive. The negative things are stored in the field as well. The first step is to weaken your connection to the field of meaning. But the connections will come back, so the second step is to strengthen a connection to a negative experience, such that this negative experience becomes the center of your spiderweb.

So, the solution is to restore your connections to positive experiences.

Your connection to Love

If you reconnect with positive things, you can jump the stones to reconstruct everything else.

But this doesn't mean that you can ignore the negative memories. They are important as well, because they are part of your identity. When you are crossing the creek, there are times were a negative stone is the only one you can reach.

The solution is to not fear it. There's always something positive hiding inside the negative. This is why shadow work is important. You can find the strength that made you endure the negative, and turn that into a positive thing. This is how you connect positive and negative memories without weakening the connection.
