What Is Memory?

Congratulations! Today, you get to learn the difference between memory and recall. There is an important difference, and understanding that difference will make you a better ally to the disabled community and also more understanding of your own brain!

What is memory?

Memory is the information your brain has stored for later. Let's make an analogy: your memory can be compared to files stored on a computer. Your brain is extremely complex and has a deep, layered filing system.

When your roommate's friend visits and introduces herself, you put her name in one of the many name folders. Our brains are complex enough that we can assume there are thousands of those folders, each for a different type of name and how you know it: friend names, immediate family names, extended family names, classmate names, coworker names, celebrity names, and so on and so forth, forever.

What is recall?

Recall is not whether you have something stored, but whether you can find it. Like that photo of you at summer camp in sixth grade that's stored somewhere on your computer, the information you learn throughout daily life is sorted somewhere into your brain's filing system. The longer ago that you put the information into the system, the harder it is to find, unless you frequently visit those files.

For the average instance of recall, people generally use the equivalent of the search bar of their brain's filing system. The information is sorted precisely so it's, naturally, recalled in the blink of an eye.

However, you may have had moments of recall issues. Everyone does here and there. The sensation of a word being on the tip of your tongue is a common example of issues with recall. You know the word, but it's just not coming up when you search for it.

In instances like these, you end up kind of manually rooting around in your brain's folders, desperately looking for associated folders that it might have been mis-stored in. You're trying to think of a vegetable you know of, so you start listing off other vegetables to yourself, as if sifting through the vegetable folder.

Sometimes, this association game can bring forth the missing file - or in this case, vegetable name. In other cases, you simply have to let it go and wait for it to come to you later. That might mean you smacking your forehead 48 hours later when you're in the middle of driving to work and the name of that vegetable suddenly throws itself right in the middle of your internal monologue.

Recall and disability

So, what does this have to do with disability? Well, the average person may have occasional recall issues, but for many disabled people, these issues are extremely prevalent. For neurodivergent folks or those with brain fog, we can end up having trouble recalling things many times in a day. It is extremely frustrating and can even be embarrassing in social situations.

For example, your roommate's friend, who you've hung out with on multiple occasions and heard numerous stories about might drop by six months later and you might stand there trying to avoid talking while you scramble desperately through your name files trying to recall her name when you know it's in there somewhere. It's a real life reproduction of that scene in SpongeBob where he only knows how to be a waiter. By the time she addresses you, it's too little too late and you have to admit that for some reason her name is evading you. It's humiliating.

Be understanding of recall issues

These issues have little to do with how important something is to a person. If you know someone who's disabled and they have frequent issues recalling words or names, it's just because the search function in their brain sometimes breaks down and they have to rely on manually digging through the billions of memories they have to try and find what they're looking for.

If you know someone with this issue who is comfortable with it, try filling in the gaps for them! It can be a fun bonding experience, especially between two people with recall issues, to immediately offer a word that seems to fit the flow of the sentence as soon as the other starts to draw a blank. The better you know them, the easier it is.

If you know someone with recall issues, be patient when they use you as a living thesaurus. You're saving them countless hours of googling or agonizing over what that word was - you know, the one that's like willingly suffering for an extended period of time about something that may or may not matter? (I just had issues recalling 'agonizing' πŸ˜”)

Anyway, that's all for today! I hope you've all learned something new about recall and how it affects people with disabilities differently/more frequently than the average person

Nothing is impossible to the mind. All it's guidance and power are available to you. When you fully realize that thought causes all, you will know there are never any limits that you yourself do not impose.

Λšβ‚Šβ€§κ’°αƒ How to accept your desires as true + you must trust your Divine nature ΰ»’κ’± β€§β‚ŠΛš

 Λšβ‚Šβ€§κ’°αƒ How To Accept Your Desires As True + You Must Trust Your Divine Nature ΰ»’κ’± β€§β‚ŠΛš

Accept : consent to receive or undertake (something offered).

To accept your desire as true, you have to first, eliminate what contradict your desire, and mostly don't contradict yourself in the 4d. Don't contradict your divine self.

When you visualise yourself in the 4d, is your divine self giving it to you.

Ex : I visualize myself working at Disneyland. That means that my divine self gave me a job there. I accept this job because this is my desire. And now it's true because I am being a person who have this job because I can see myself,hear myself, touch and smell all around me in my 4d.

I can't deny it, I have it right know. This is the truth.

Everytime I would contradict myself, I'll go to my Divine realm, because I can have everything there. And no one and no body can contradict me, firstly because the 3D world/People doesn't have access to the Divine realm (You are the only being in this universe who have consciousness in your reality, you are aware of every reality, you can change the past (revision), go to the future (Living in the end), if you have Divine consciousness, you are Divine/God... But let's say Divine it's Prettierr) and second because you can actually have everything in your imagination. It's your divine power.🌸

I am working on myself those days, listening to Edward Art times to times. It's time to practice now, because the post I make are based on what I've learn and what I have figured out on tumblr and outside tumblr.🩷🩷

And.. I think that I know the law, I know what to do, the step to make. I just had any trust in myself because my parents made me believing so.

When I was a kid, I always wanted to.. Discover that we are magical beings with magical power. But I've been discouraged because I've been looking too much in the 3d and listened to people who didn't saw the good in me, who were mocking me and belittle me for fun .🩷

I've manifested crushes when I was a teen, and I knew how to manifest. But when I discovered the law, I assumed that I was new to it and what I was used to do was wrong.

I put trust outside of myself. By listening to doctors and mean people (including my parents) I let myself have an appearance reflecting my inside self hatred, a sick skin, bad hair, unemployed).

That's why in my opinion, religion and science exists. To make us believe in something outside ourselves. Because the world fear our power. What I want to say is that with our mind we can do anything or be anything for our own good. We can feel good in our life, we are not delulu because we want to be happy, loved and safe .My only desire is to be surrounded by happy people, travel, feel myself pretty. It's my right and it's your right by wanting better for yourself. I don't want to nourish the assumption of other that I am this or this. It's time to break free and only your mind can set you free 🩷🩷

Media and outside people doesn't want us to figure out how powerful we can be that's why media are bathed with bad news, war, catastrophes etc.. Because they know how only naïve but also powerful we can be if we assume something true . We are eternal being and we must take our power back. You must accept your Divine realm because it's the real world, the eternal world, a world ruled with love and well being. It's the true world. 🩷

You are not flesh and bones. You are pure creative energy.

It is already yours

Your desires are already yoursβ€”everything you want is already within your grasp.

You want ti be wealthy? YOU ARE

You want to become famous? You’ve achieved it.

The ideal relationship you desire with your 3D? It belongs to you, you are already with your person!

There’s no waiting, no delays.

The moment you desire something, it’s yours on a deeper level. When you truly accept this and align your thoughts with this reality, you’ll start to see these desires take shape in your life.

For instance, if you’re aiming for financial abundance, begin to think, act, and feel as if your bank account is already overflowing. You may start noticing opportunities to increase your income or find yourself making more financially savvy choices. By living with the mindset that what you want is already yours, you align yourself with that reality, and it begins to manifest naturally. The key is to genuinely feel and believe that your desires are already fulfilled.

And, NO! Feelings aren't about "forcing an emotion" but simply 'knowing it is your reality or your end destination'.

Block Gaslighting:

Don’t tell me what happened, I was there.

Now on top of saying that, you claim you didn’t, that’s two lies in a row.

I heard you the first time. If you can’t stand behind your words maybe keep them in.

Do you honestly think I don’t have a working memory? I know exactly what happened

It’s a little late to revision the past now, don’t you think?

You don’t get to change the past, sorry.

Maybe if you wish thats how it happened, you should have done it that way? And not pretend later

You seem to think you can convince me that my memory is wrong. This will not happen.

Facts will stay the same no matter how many times you say that.

Don’t smile expecting me to take this as a joke.

Sure, except that’s not what happened.

Yeah, and then we all climbed on top of the easter bunny, sure.

Stop insulting my memory.

Regretful for you, I know what happened, maybe you should try convincing the dog.

Even you know it didn’t happen that way. Don’t lie.

And now how about you tell the truth? I’m tired

Tell the truth or leave me alone. You’re sickening.

I will not have you change what happened just because it makes you look better. You did what you did. It’s time to live with it, as I have lived with it. You don’t get a revision.

(Only use those in non-dangerous situation, I know a lot of abusers will turn more dangerous and violent if their gaslighting is rejected. You can still say these in your head to keep yourself sane. You can always, in 100% cases trust your memory over what they say happened. And know if they’re trying to get you enraged with their lies they’re only doing it because it’s easy to manipulate a person once they’re overwhelmed with emotions, keep aware that their words hold no ground at all.)

THE WORLD IS YOUR CANVAS NOW PAINT, PAINT!

who’s world is this? the world is yours - nas

Imagine that the world you’re living in is a blank canvas (because it is) and you’re the one holding the paintbrush, what would you paint? don’t think about what you β€œshould” manifest. forget about society rules, forget about the people around you and what they’re doing. Start dedicating your time to thinking about yourself. So seriously, what would you paint?

It could be anything you please. ANYTHING. Go big and go beyond, nothing is too small and nothing is too big. don’t settle for anything less. In imagination anything is possible , so forget about logic. forget about the how and the when because those are completely irrelevant anyways.

ask yourself

what would you do if you just broke out that box that holds you back and did what you want? go for your wildest dreams. they’re possible. they’re 100% possible.

the fact that you have a deep desire for something shows that you were meant to have it.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF SUCCESS WAS GUARANTEED?

If you knew your desires were 100% yours and you knew it was inevitable and you knew nothing on earth could stop you from getting what you want..what would you be acting like? what would you be thinking like? would you really be doubting every minute? or…telling yourself that you were a failure? NO! so stop. start telling yourself the things you want, start telling your story you want to come true and discard the one that does you no good.

DON’T BE SCARED OF THE POSSIBILITIES

when we think about the potential we have, its common for us to withdraw and back ourselves up into a little corner and stay there. out of fear it is too much for us to handle, or we fear things in our lives will get berserk and we wouldn’t be able to handle it.

don’t let fear of something happening make nothing happen.
