However, I do believe that much of our memories are what makes us who we are. <br><br>It has been a while, but the last time I remember looking up what was going on in memory research it had some interesting implications. The older models suggested that our brains act like giant computers and that everything we observe is locked somewhere in our memories. The newer models seem to suggest something different entirely. Instead of “real” concrete memories, we instead seem to store hints and inclinations about events. However, I believe there is an exception for especially shocking events, (i.e., where were you when you heard about September 11, or when Kennedy was shot ect.) At any rate, then our brains essentially create a fantasy about the particular events we are recalling based on our hints and inclinations. What’s even more fascinating is that our current sense of self seems to influence what we recall about our memories! <br><br>If anyone is interested, there is a fun book by a Harvard psychologist named “Stumbling on Happiness” that deals not only with memories but our perception of the future as well. Wow…that was a bit of a rant wasn’t it? Completely off topic from what you were discussing lol. <br><br>So, yes! I would subscribe to the idea that our memories are built upon layers of consciousness that is developed throughout our lifetimes. <br>-Rdream dwellersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-536455483197919928.post-30819276118557013472009-08-19T04:09:34.000-07:002009-08-19T04:09:34.000-07:00Great post.
