"Penetrating the forgetting"

[Unbound]

Never met anyone with "complete" recall, and the only path I know of which might result in that is through the ways of the Buddha and emptying and clearing of the self and mind. In order to remember, one must cease to be looking. This probably seems contradictory, but in my experience the active desire attracts thoughts to the mind which may be convoluting to pure memory. Emotional desire creates a charge and that charge calls things according to astral principles. Thus, the greatest clarity of remembrance comes when the self is viewed impassionately and with detachment and "what is" is able to flow without projection.

There is one technique I have used for the most part besides the sort of past life regression that can be done with Reiki, and it is quite simple. Sitting down to meditate you start here in the moment, become aware of the now, the present. Then, you start to remember backwards, the day before, the week before, months before, all the way back until you have traced a pathway from this moment to the moment of your own birth. Then, at the moment of your own birth, continue to journey backwards in time and allow the memory to come, unattached and impassionately, and see your own responses to any memories. From this point you can continue journeying backwards as far as desired. This works best when in an alpha state.
