The intuition is a psychological faculty which is wholly perceptive and accesses our unconscious mind in a passive manner. Memories which are formed in this life are a part of our conscious or even "lost" subconscious mind, and therefore do not require intuitive perception for access. They usually require some kind of idea association for access, because of the way memories are stored in the mind. This is different than idea resonance which attracts and suggests possibilities via imagination.(05-08-2014, 09:28 PM)zenmaster Wrote:(05-08-2014, 09:23 PM)Tanner Wrote:(05-08-2014, 09:21 PM)zenmaster Wrote: As in with the ability and integrity to relate historical or literal fact, like an encyclopedia or textbook? No.
So genuineness is determined by the ability to cross-reference with 'accounts'?
An "account" is another word for memory, whether affective or cognitive. If there is even one bit of intuitive perception involved, it's not really authentic memory.
What do you think of the idea of Logos meaning 'account'?
Also, how does one determine the boundaries of the intuition, exactly and how would one determine whether or not the memory one is experiencing has intuition added to it? I say because I don't experience my "past-life" memories any differently than I experience "this life" memories.
Basically, by your explanation, I am not sure "authentic" memories even exist. All memories appear, to me, to be reconstructions. Even memories of this life are all subjectively biased and so are not actually the "truth" of the situations. I could write about my experience of my own life and it still wouldn't be accurate because it is entirely based on perspective and the need to recall memories.
Isn't authenticity related to "truth" by consonance?
That's another issue I have though, because "memory storage" is something which hasn't been made clear. They have not found 'where' memories are stored nor has it been found exactly the difference between a memory stemming from a physical experience and one stemming from a mental experience (like dreaming/meditation).
