MEMORY

All of life is recorded in our memory. Short term and long term memory. If we lose our memory than we lose our very sense of being. Our sense of being is connected through our memories from the time of birth or even before birth. We have a sense of connection with people and things and events and places. Time and place help us to remember things. When we think of a place or a time in our life , it is our memory that helps us connect. Now think of what will happen when we lose our memory. How frustrating when we can't remember names. Our memory fades as we age because we have difficulty remembering things that happen now. Our long term memory appears to be intact but that also fades in time. We get disoriented when we lose the sense of time and place.  We become lost when we can't place ourselves or lose our direction. Memory is what keeps us in place and helps us order our day. Life becomes an illusion when all is but a memory. Today we are and yesterday was just a memory. Once you realise this, you become less certain about matters and issues that appear to be so important today. You realise that what appeared urgent was just an illusion. In time all things become equal. What appeared to be urgent now does not appear that way. This is the experience of illusion. Today be grateful that you are alive and well. If you are suffering than know that this will also pass. Failures become a hurdle and success is but a passing phase. In the end you are just a memory.
