remember it all and those important fundamentals that I never thought about forgetting because it was impossible, it is as basic as who you are, how is it possible that I forgot these, and all the rest that I know? I am astounded that I could forget!… forget, forget … I’m getting wet, it’s raining hard … I’m getting muddy … that big bang was thunder, hurt my ears, but I can hear, and I can move … I feel but I don’t hurt, so I guess I’m all right … got to get my bike up on the porch and get a rag and wipe the water and mud off … CLICK! Now I remember! I was very young, playing out in front of the house before a thunderstorm … the lightning hit a power pole near the street, not me, my father told me … the concussion or something stunned me … and he carried me up to the front porch. I was all right in a few minutes … but the rest of it, I had forgotten completely, even now I just remember the knowing, not the details … (A glimpse of who you are before you undertake the human experience. How it took place is not important. Such momentary recall occurs frequently during the physical process but is obscured and discarded amid the more immediate consistent impact of physical information input. Yet the event is retained, below the surface of consciousness, and therefore affects your subsequent action. It is significant that thenceforth you did not fear lightning and thunder, as you call it, but found pleasure in such manifestation. This is one effect of such pre-human recall brought near your physical conscious level. Another, more cogent, was the subtle alteration in your physical life process that led you unknowingly to your present state.) I hope that doesn’t mean that everyone has to get almost struck by lightning to begin to wake up. It wouldn’t be a very popular method … (Most such events are so gentle as to remain unnoticed. Yet they are there if recall is necessary. We have another episode for you, if you desire it.)
