Now: Those memories are not yours, and yet they are a very definite part of your heritage. [...] In a strange way, however, these are not your memories, but those of your parents about you. [...]

[...] Yet its rich psychic heritage connects it through memory and experience to those who will “come after,” or those who have “gone before.” [...]

Your parents have physical representations of their memories in terms of photos and letters — but take your break.

[...] So there are different kinds of memories. [...]

[...] The CU’s¹ that are within all matter have a memory bank that would far surpass any computer’s. As cellular components, the atoms and molecules, therefore, carry memory of all the forms of which they have been part.

[...] But the mind is connected with the physical brain, and so hidden in its [the brain’s] folds there is an archaeological memory. [...] So, ideally speaking, the history of your species can be discovered quite clearly within the psyche; and true archaeological events are found not only by uncovering rocks and relics, but by bringing to light, so to speak, the memories that dwell within the psyche.

[...] You do share psychic memories, and hold in common the memories of other selves who did live in the time of the Roman-soldier incident.

Those memories exist as patterns. [...]

Your beliefs about dreams color your memory and interpretation of them, so that at the point of waking, with magnificent psychological duplicity, you often make last-minute adjustments that bring your dreams more in line with your conscious expectations. [...]

(9:45.) Give us a moment… You do have a “dream memory” as a species, with certain natural symbols. [...]

People often program their waking memory in quite the same fashion. [...]

[...] Without dreaming there would be no learning, nor would there be memory.

[...] There is, for example, a part of you who is very aware of these pulsations, and who is aware of pulse sense of memory. When the pulse is in the physical reality, then you, as you know yourself, have this memory. When the pulse is in another dimension, there is also memory of that existence. [...]

Now, a portion of your entire identity has memory of both. [...]

[...] There is, for example, a part of you who is very aware of the pulsations you have just been discussing, and who is aware of the pulse-like nature of memory. When the pulse is in this physical reality, then you, as you know yourselves, have memory of this existence. When the pulse is in another dimension, there is memory of that existence. Now a portion of your entire identity has memory of both. [...]

Cellular memory can be changed at any point. Present beliefs can insert into the past new memory, both psychologically and physically. [...]

[...] In some cases of healing, in the spontaneous disappearance of cancer, for instance, or of any other disease, certain alterations are made that affect cellular memory, genetic codes, or neuronal patterns in the past.

[...] New memories are inserted in place of the old ones, as far as cells are concerned under such conditions. [...]

They are composites, built up by the cells, and held in a suspended memory. [...]

[...] They are your memory banks in a most profound sense.

In time, you see, the (smile) various ego memories will become part of these. [...]

[...] Beneath your awareness, however, they will also trigger the cells’ ever-present memory imprints of stimuli received when those events occurred. There is, to some extent now, a cellular memory playback — and on the part of the entire body, the recognition of its state at that time.

[...] Similar feelings will soon follow, and with them memories of other such unpleasant episodes strung together through association. [...]

[...] This time the associated memories are pleasant, and the body changes accordingly.

[...] The beliefs activated the body’s cellular memory, weakening the body and impeding its function. [...]

These are simply odd bits of information that have sifted through Peggy’s mind as she reviews memories... [...]

[...] She is collecting her memories, and putting them in order. [...]

[...] Disjointed memories, thoughts and ideas.

Her whole reality is far greater, and she is endeavoring to put these memories in place, in perspective, as you would put furniture into a new house. [...]

Now, you also have the memory of your future existences, for time does not exist as it seems to you now, and a portion of you is aware of your future as it is aware of your past. [...] When your species squatted in the cliff caves and when they ran in terror across the face of the earth pursued by wolves and imagined that demons lurked in the shadows, when with ghost memories were great contrast to the world that they saw and know, and so they weaved a story from their memories. [...]

In certain portions of your world there were memories from other peoples and other layers of existence, and these memories for some time remained. [...]

[...] I told you that each cell has its own memory. The self-memory is, of course, of far greater dimension.

[...] Your own present identity contains the knowledge and “memory” of all those simultaneous existences, even as the cells in their way retain memory of all those physical structures which they (have) formed. [...]

[...] History was dependent upon the old with their memory of past events, and the group’s sense of continuity was also in the hands of its oldest members, who passed memories on to others.

[...] The emergence of the “pause of reflection” mentioned earlier (in the 635th session in Chapter Eight, for instance) and the blossoming of memory along with the emotional intensification, led to a situation in which members of the new species recalled, in the present, the dead and the diseases that killed them. [...]

[...] At the same time, as the mind developed, cunning and memory became highly effective survival tools. [...]

[...] I thought of racial memory and our ancient heritage of gods that were half man and half beast, bird or reptile. [...]

[...] I am not certain if you refer to the subconscious memory of personality, the conscious memory of personality, or of the memory of an entity. [...]

You on your plane for example do not even have conscious memory of your own dream fragments. [...]

If you recall, we mentioned the fact that the dreaming self has its own memories. It has memories of all of its dream experiences. To you this might mean that it has memory of its past, and indeed to you memory itself is dependent upon the existence of a past, or it is meaningless.

[...] Memory to the ego presupposes the existence of a past that no longer exists within physical reality. When I say that the dreaming self has memory, therefore, of its dream experiences, I mean that it scans its present existence. [...]

To the dreaming self however, past, present and future as such do not exist, and yet it has what you term memory. [...]

(“Now that I have conscious memory of seeing the vision, I’m wondering just how much this memory is going to influence my actual production of the work.”)

[...] This list of tenants must include the name Liveright; if we saw it, we have no conscious memory of it.

There are very dim memories still lingering, confused. These are ghosts of memories, not this man’s memories really at all—ghosts of those memories that still linger because of the physical connection, the relationship between the man who remained and the main personality who did not stay.

Now you have been given a small insight into the ways in which your inner memories work. You react to others, not only because of their position and relationship to you in this place and in this time, but because of memories from the past and, in your terms, because of memories from the future. [...]

[...] And you keep within yourself these memories buried. [...]

As a child is physically protected from some diseases for a while after he emerges from his mother’s womb, so for a brief period is the child cushioned against some psychic disasters for a short period after birth, and carries within him, still for his comfort, memories of past existences and places. So the Lumanians for some generations were supported by deep subconscious memories of the civilization that had gone before. [...]

[...] They cared for each other mutually, and many of the old legends concerning half-man and half-beast have come down through the ages simply from the memory of these old associations.

These people, as remnants, really, of the first great civilization, always carried within themselves strong subconscious memories of their origin. [...]

(Long pause.) Love-making reunites you with your own pasts, and unconscious bodily memory carries you backward to your earliest responses to your own body and that of others. [...] With those memories come feelings of biological exuberance, the body’s faith in itself, all highly important, and far more therapeutic than is ever realized in your society. [...]

[...] That is (pause), it arouses memories from your own most intimate moments in the past, and therefore in its own way records the development of ideas and attitudes that you might otherwise completely overlook. [...]
