how is it that I have no recollection of people irl - kathisterima - 30-09-2025
I'm trying to think what would they do/say in X instance, and my mind is totally blank like those were foreign people to me.
For example, my grandfather died when I was 18 and we were close but I can't think of a single conversation we've had. Same for close friends I had in highschool, we'd spend every evening together but I can't recall the slightest thing about them.
I've been living life on idle mode, my brain has been sitting around turned off until now, and these are the results.

Just don't make up stories about alternate universes.

its even worse for me, memories dont even exist like how people remembered the blonde whore in twin peaks for example, I have some vague idea about x event happening with x person but nothing beyond a 1 ms flash. If someone who I spent 6 years with in School or something turned up dead, I would just go "oh damn" and then nothing. At this point the only people I have any feelings towards for good or worse would be my parents since Ive spent such a long time in their proximity, and its definitely karmic identification/attachment rather than anything actually substantive imo. I still get dreams about scenarios or situations in school but its almost like I use them as puppets for whtever fucked up shit my mind throws up in terms of stuff simmering from subconscious , for eg. the people would be the same /recognisable but the scenario would be something totally alien to anything that happened irl. Not quite memento tier but id say 99 percent of stuff has been lost and conscious recollection would be rather impossible. its not even like memorable shit didnt happen but Id say remember like 1 percent of the event and the other 99 would be something I fill in the gaps with. I dont even remember my school staircases if I try to remember it consciously, its some half grey silent hill esque imagery but 80 percent of my dreams involve traversing these places and underdoing some funny encounters lol. I think my neurogenesis is fucked, need to inject cerebrolysin.

our brains dump memories that aren't important or relevant to us for our immediate needs. us whites are in survival mode, remembering how much powder to pack into the pipebomb takes precedence over what a friend said 30 years ago.

Quote:Mersenne, in one of his attacks on Fludd, said that Fludd's two
worlds rested on unproven 'Egyptian' teaching (that is teaching in
the Hermetica) that man contains the world, and on the statement
of 'Mercurius' (in the Asclepius) that man is a great miracle and
like to God. Mersenne correctly seized here on the Hermetic
basis of Fludd's two worlds.45 It is because Fludd's man as
microcosm potentially contains the world that he can reflect it
within. Fludd's occult art of memory is an attempt to reproduce or
re-create the macrocosm-microcosm relationship by establishing,
or composing, or making conscious in the memory of the micro-
cosm the world which he contains, which is the image of the macro-
cosm, which is the image of God. The effort to do this by
manipulating the stars in man through astraliscd images in the
occult version of the art of memory is the basis of all Bruno's
Herculean efforts, which Fludd is copying.

true, memories are not something inside a box, theres no direct access to a frame of a spacetime, at least not within us, but there is active reconstruction to be made upon re-membrance

if your imagination is dead you will have hard problem with 'memory'
