@DeepakChopraGlobal Hi Deepak is there a specific way to get rid of painful memories that keep recurring everyday? How do we do this? Thanks so much! You are doing a great job helping people tremendously!
Memory fascinates me... What is memory? Break it down to the cellar level and you only see part of the answer. Why? Look at the spiritual dimension and you remember why you were born. Analyse every circumference as a point of reference and distinguish between every evaluation and a new memory is born before the brain processes the electrical thought into being. That's my own way of understanding without the science of confusion. Reason comes in handy to configure a meaning.
Memory is not stored at individual cellular level. Memories are configurations of neurons. Mathematically a brain is like a massive, active organic RAID5 configuration which includes parity data in the configuration of neurons. There is no "soul" in the sense of a non-material (non-existing?) conscious entity in the brain.
Deepak is right. I accidentally stumbled upon EVP or Electronic Voice Phenomena and my grandfather who died in 2007 started communicating through audio recording made on my laptop. Full two way communication ensued. After this experience there is no doubt in my mind that consciousness is non-local & memories are stored in it. The brain & our DNA structure is only a transmitter & receiver of energy & information.
There have been times in my artist life, that when doing a drawing, usually a very good one, I found myself let go ... my hand being guided; myself just an amazed watcher, a tool.
I am becoming afraid to drop in and listen. LOL My head, well I used to think it was my head, starts filling with copious amounts of possibilities. Then I need a small glass of burgundy and a nap!
Love what you do. Thank you for your work where ever you do your thinking, and then for making that information available to all.
Seriously, 'collective consciousness' reminds me a bit of 'The Borg' of Star Trek Voyager fame, and that is a bit freaky, but on the atomic level makes sense.
memories are living monsters , both non local and local in space domain and in time domain also good and bad domain they get life dye get sick fed with other stories ....get stoned ....oh man ..... look 550 reincarnation Buddhist stories .....Thanks you sir bye Asoka
I dont feel this will be found through neuroscience but only through the heart - the inner intelligence we all are apart of. The intellect / ego / mind will never agree on one perception, or it seems? Wonderful to discuss... though! I love the term - memory:actualizes in your brain: 4:59 & morphic resonance!
Hi Zeno1999, I was with you up until you said " I must have copied morphic fields of my professors". Maybe that is possible, I don't know but highly unlikely. Its more of an attempt to explain the unexplainable. Peace & Blessings
A memory is nothing more than a very tiny piece of damaged tissue in our brains. That's why some are short-term, some long-term, some medium-term. Some tissue damages heal fast, some don't. But a memory is only a damaged shape, and that shape conveys a chemical reaction that gives us a feeling. We don't really remember things the way we think we do. This is why most people can't draw basic things like a horse's face. Such an image doesn't exist in our brain -- only the feeling of that image.
CONT... To follow up, everyone thinks they have a perfect memory of a cousin or close friend. Why can't we draw them? People blame it on hand coordination but that's bull shit. Our hands are steady enough to draw in tiny details. What's missing is the memory. It's simply not there. We don't know what things look like, we only know how to replicate the feelings of seeing those things. What we are able to draw comes from other techniques -- the ability to classify subsets of an image.
CONT... It's like this: A) We meet Cousin Joe; B) Chemicals react in brain; C) Name/image association is made; D) Tissue is damaged; E) Precise feeling happens. A year later, someone talks about Cousin Joe. The tissue scar shape is stil there. The brain reacts to this scar and replicates the feeling. No image is ever stored or reproduced; only the feeling of the image, which comes from the tissue damage. If we looked closely, we'd probably find millions of scars -- each one a memory.
I had a similar idea like 20 years ago without reading anything about morphic fields.
I think relativity can support it. Any Brain activity produce an electromagnetic field, that electromagnetic field are Photons, those Photons have not mass, therefore are timeless.
May be Our brain is able to tune to an event which we call memory.
Every action we do is in one way timeless. Regards, William
@wilhelmschumann This, I can receive. It makes much ore sense than a lot of these posts and attempts at explaining memory. Specific continued thought patterns create grooves on the brain resulting in what we call "habits". The brain is indeed a receptacle, it only receives and processes, never generates. It is an evolved organism expressly for this purpose.
How would this idea not suffer from the same infinite regress? Seems like you are doing nothing but ripping off Plato's argument about knowledge being 'remebered' because the soul already possesed all knowledge. And this argument is universally rejected by epistemologists. Sure, Plato pretty much invented epistemology with the dialogue of Theaetetus, but I think we've advanced a little bit since 3000 years ago.
You guys believe in the singularity, which existed before space and time, which contained the potential for all that is. Sounds likda like what Deepak is saying. ; )
@LambadLambadLambda "You guys believe'? No, there is evidence, there are mathematical equations to verify it. Nothing Chopra says is verifiable, he in fact celebrates this. Sure you can make up a story that is consistent with what we know, but that doesn't make said story any more probable unless there is some evidence.
I have seen some readings and videos suggesting that you can change your past by changing your perception (for those working out past incidences, pstd, etc. saying how you percieve a topic is how it is remembered, and it is helpful for people to somehow remember things in a different light to resolve some unhappy incidences. If the brain retrieves memory "out of the blue" like Einstein suggests (outside the body) that would allow for the human to develop a differents ideas/perception of memory.
Memory and experiences being imprinted in the soul is an interesting idea, and would mesh with the idea that our soul is the core experiencer, and can depart from our body at death, retaining memories. But you still have to reconcile the amnesia brought on by alzheimers and brain trauma. If the whole universe is made up of whole organisms within whole organisms, could we humans perhaps contain multiple levels? A deeper soul and an body which relies on the brain for certain experiences.
I like the color surrounding you Deepak! I think it's amazing how hearts and souls seem to be 'talking' with each other, apart from words... more a sensory thing that happens among those we love - astounding (magic moments) - wouldn't have 'seen' that without technology. Souls must have memory, since some people are aware of past lives. Sometimes even very young children. Thankyou, very interesting topic. Cheers for your day <3
fascinating, I am interested to see what science may develop in the near future to further examine where memories are stored in the cellular level. I love videos like this that are thought-provoking without really forcing one way of thought on you. thanks, Deepak!
@90JFB Dear sir--do look up what some scientists are saying on this subject . Your colorful use of language suggest past trauma and anger. It may be a good idea to seek therapy for your current and future well being. Best wishes and warm regards deepak
@DeepakChopraGlobal Well as a scientist myself, I can say you are nothing but a charlatan. My "colorful use of language" hints more towards my strong disregard for your pseudoscience preaching
@90JFB < You can't even join Vatican now, even they have a big telescope and believe in ET !
But I know pseudo-skeptics like you work for those who have heavy investment in military-industrial-pharma-complex and you are a dying breed; save your gold for building road to hell.
Thanks for opening this for discussion, I appreciate your time that your giving freely to the youtube viewers and for sharing your thoughts with us all. Much better than the manipulated and controlled TV :D
When I read the topic of this video, I thought to myself, memory isn't in the brain. The idea simply came up. I've read much about how that it is located in the brain so this thought was foreign to me. Its much like Einstein when he discovered the theory of relativity. He said it "came to him" like from outside someplace, ever since reading this, I thought it was ludicrous of scientists and the like to study Einstein's physical brain, the equation was not generated there.
@Unonadados < Thanks for sharing this; "morphic fields" model of memory explains few incidents of my life where I was clueless but had sudden insights : aced exams without knowing why ! must have copied morphic fields of my professors :) Also had ideas during helping others that saved lives and overcame distressful situations.
our memories, thoughts and beliefs reside in our morphic energy field and constantly communicate with every cell so when we let go of emotion it updates every cell and provides new instructions that recode our dna. I tap into this energy field and learn much about who we really are... cheers from the UK!
