Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have heard katie say something like ~ there is no such thing as memory, only the thought arising in this moment. wrote: After her awakening, has said that she only knew about her past from what other people told her. Did her memory ever come back on its own? When I had my mini-awakening, I still knew about my past in a vague sort of way, but as if it had happened to another person entirely.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Another thought about this. often speaks about things that appear to have occured in the past, she speaks during interviews etc, quite extensively about experiences that have occured in the 'past'. My understanding of this is that she simply didn't hold the same concepts anymore...no seperation, no seperate other. For me, it wasn't a matter of losing her memory, it was a matter of losing identification with concepts..which is what husband, daughter, son, sky, moon, and every other label are.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have heard say something like: " Tami, come to me after my last lecture (at the school) and you could have a picture with me " . I trusted her word, came to her after her last lecture but she was gone. So, I wouldn't trust a word this women say's she is like me: living the moment, and has no past.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 isn't it great that it's not necessary to trust anyone else's word to be happy....

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 and , I think 's understanding is close to mine when she said " it wasn't a matter of losing her memory, it was a matter of losing identification with concepts. " And Memory is just another concept that she no longer believes. So, 's question about " did get her memory back " really has no relevance. It is not a matter of having a memory or not having a memory, but it is knowing that thoughts are not true. Like any true awakening, it really can not be discussed within the framework of the illusion.
