The Subtle Plane of Astral Light and the Akashic Field of Memory

Posted On May 19, 2021 / Written by Dr. Linda Gadbois

I’m not going to talk about or attempt to explain this idea in scientific terms or as a kind of living-technology, because it can only be accurately understood intuitively from the perspective of observing how it moves and functions on the inner planes of the mind as a “direct experience†of it. While many postulate this field of subtle energy is only 2-dimensional in nature, in my experience this is only partially true, as it has what we can easily call a 2-dimensional or “flat†background that appears as various shades of gray shapes on a black background, but as “movement†begins to formulate and take shape we notice that what appears as being a “flat black†is actually a “field†of subtle energy, out of which exotic light-forms seem to either rise up out of in a swirling, pulsating, flowing motion, or they come alive within the field as a kind of electric charge that runs through it only lighting up particles within the field that are correlated with it, causing an iridescent glowing effect, which eloquently stabilize into what looks like a shimmering hologram that forms into a distinct shape.

The active energy moves through what appears as a passive field of latent energy in a potential state (information that’s inactive), illuminating only certain parts of it with prismatic, smoke-like streams of light that culminate as a flowing pattern that shimmers into existence, unfolds, and then fades away in much the same way it formed. Once formed in a coherent manner it continues fluctuating and evolving through several alternating shapes of colored light while moving in an out of existence in a rhythmic luster, where only certain aspects of the field are activated as an illumination, forming what appears to be a pattern or shape made out of colored light. It’s as if only certain parts of the information contained within the invisible field is vibrated into an active state by the mind itself through a form of resonance, in much the same way our mind also only abstracts certain parts of “information as light†in the Earth’s atmosphere as a way of perceiving (ordering and arranging) only what “matches†our vibratory frequency as a holographic model, where we form the outer world to be the stationary construct the inner world symbolizes in metaphorical terms.

The holographic images that sometimes form out of the swirling light usually appear as a face of some kind, or the upper torso of the body, which once it takes on a definitive shape, it transforms through a series of dynamic variations of itself as a kind of evolutionary flow, before breaking up and dissolving back into a swirling motion and gradually disappearing, while another one immediately rises up out of it to form a new image in its place. When an image begins to form, if you focus on it while maintaining a passive state of mind (which means you don’t start trying to control or direct it or make it become what you want it to be) and simply watch it, the florescent, swirling light often begins taking shape as a distinct image that can look like a well-formed hologram. Sometimes these holograms then move through a dynamic series of subtle changes where they appear to evolve through the same general shape with different attributes and features, before gradually dissolving back into pulsating light that fades away, leaving the background of dark gray tones visible momentarily, before another flare of swirling light becomes illuminated and rises up producing another image that’s also in a constant state of evolving.

These holographic images often take shape as composite images that form into a human face that has mixed features that are plant-like, animal-like, and geometric designs that resemble a crystalline structure of the mineral kingdom. These images can often resemble what’s known in Celtic traditions as the “Green Manâ€, or Nature Spirits that are human-like in their general composition, yet have features common to plants and animals. Other shapes are geometrical in nature and form what often appears to be a prismatic crystalline light structure that resembles daemons or beings with scale-like skin similar to a reptile. These are not your typical ugly or grotesque daemons, as they’re tend to be portrayed, but strikingly beautiful ones. When this “essence†is not concentrated it appears as a grayish or neutral colors that are dim and don’t have much color, but the more concentrated they become, the more they coalesce into vivid, pure, prismatic colors that are intense and somewhat mesmerizing.

On of the mistakes we often make in how we think about things, is that we imagine the “invisible space around us†is “empty†and void of life or information that’s used for constructing life forms. What we refer to as “information†inherent in what we perceive as being empty space, is actually a different form of intelligence that exists in a passive state of pure potential, and can be activated through the electrical impulses of the mind which interacts with it, and used to construct “living formsâ€. This field of invisible light is alive and conscious, it’s not inert and dead. While we tend to think that energy “is†light, what we may find if we examine this idea more closely by simply observing it while refraining from a preconceived idea about it, is that “light†is actually concentrated into a form by the mind observing it, and acts as a vehicle or empty shell for energy as life force to enter into, inhabit and use as the means of expressing through as an “ideaâ€. This field of dormant light is invisible and inactive, until the mind starts interacting with it while watching it. Once we close our eyes, turn our attention inward, and simply observe the darkness, we send a charge through it that activates it and sets it into motion. As we concentrate on it in a single-minded fashion, it steadily becomes concentrated and starts coalescing into a defined shape. As we remove our attention from it, it returns to an inert state and fades away into the black or invisible background.

The activity on this inner plane of light is nearly always symbolic and metaphorical in nature and represents the quality of energy impressed in the “space†itself, either pressed into it through activity of a human mind as visual thoughts, or as instinctual forces that are actively present within the space. Whenever a space is used for a ritual of some kind conducted by a group of people who are all tuned into the same idea, the symbolic images concentrated by them become impressed in the “space†(atmosphere) as a vivid form or symbolic creature, or as a series of revolving images that are all of a similar nature as a metaphorical theme. When taking on a distinct form or holographic image, they’re nearly always of a face or upper torso and head, and are nearly always formed out of a combination of elemental attributes and features from the 4 Kingdoms of Nature – chemical, mineral, plant, and animal – and adorn a human-like figure. These images are often very similar to the ones we see inherent in the mythology of gods and goddesses found in every culture around the world. Whatever evolving image forms is a symbolic representation of the energy as a “mental state†of the person, group of people, or activities that were conducted in that space over an extended period of time that infused it with mental impressions as the mood and emotions the forms served as a vehicle for expressing. They are recorded and maintained as a form of “memoryâ€, and can be tuned into and known by anyone who is in the same space.

For example, I’ve been to a few churches where prayer and group meditations were performed every week for years, often with the same basic congregation, and when I closed my eyes, drew my attention in, and silenced my mind, images formed of what appeared to be a beautiful, daemon-like formations that were shaped out of what appeared to be a lattice-like, tenuous circuits or strings that were vivid and intense as prismatic colors. As they formed by emerging through and out of the black-gray background, they appeared to be suspended in mid-air, while continuously evolving into new variations as a flowing graceful movement, before disintegrating and falling away, where another image of a similar nature began emerging as a flaming light and played out in a similar manner.

Another thing that many don’t realize is that the inner planes not only form the single symbol as an iconic symbol that’s used to represent the same idea as a larger, more complex, outer reality, but they also come as the complementary opposite of the outer idea being projected by them. The colors of the outer world form inwardly as their complementary colors. If you stare at a red square for a period of a few seconds, and then close your eyes, the same square will appear inwardly as being green. Also, what we call “angels†or divine beings, all have their complementary or polar opposite as “daemons†or Earth spirits. The inner and outer form as complementary opposites of each other because they’re actually extremes of the same thing, differing only in degree and measure. This same idea plays out in our nightly dreams, where the same emotions we experience during the day take on symbolic images in our nightly dreams while playing out the same type of idea as an experience in a different and often more direct way.

Another time I was traveling across country and had to find a motel in a small town where the only one that had a vacancy was a part of a lounge and casino. When I pulled into the parking lot the energy felt very dark and had a heavy sensation to it that made me feel depressed. As I lay down that night to go to sleep, an image of a devil’s head emerged and became vivid as a hologram that was almost cartoon-like. I thought, “really?†A red devil with horns and an evil look on it’s face, just like the cartoons I saw as a kid. But of course, the image was merely a symbol that represented the quality and nature of the consciousness that was predominant in that space and acted out in a consistent manner.

Often, whenever I come to a new place, I can not only see the quality of energy infused in the space and walls, but as I lay down to sleep or enter into a relaxed state of meditation, this gray, grid-like background appears, similar to a labyrinth or circuit board carved in stone, and in the space between it an me, light as vivified essence emerges like an electrical charge running through a fluid medium, and begins swirling in a rhythmic pulsation, and a face starts forming as a composite image made of elemental features in a constant state of transforming that are of a particular color, and the facial expression conveys a kind of “mood†or pervading feeling. This lets me know what the overall mental state of the person or activities that were routinely expressed there were. The reason facial expressions are used is you can tell a persons character and state of mind just by looking at their face, because our face is always mirroring our thoughts.

This astral-light appears as what I call a form of “essence†that’s charged with a frequency, and has a gaseous appearance, much like nebula, yet flows and moves in a fluid-like motion that’s very eloquent and graceful. It only becomes fixed into a somewhat stable holographic form when attention is placed on it in a single-minded fashion, while maintaining a neutral state. Sporadic thoughts that run habitually in an unattended manner are an active force that disperses the energy, causing it to dissolve or become inactive, or is formed into the image correlated with the thought as a form of memory that the thought is born out of. The mind has to be calmed and made neutral in order to view the free-flowing images impressed in this field, because all light is animated and formed by the mind through the imagination, and we can only “tune into†this field of living light and act as a receiver or be able to view its contents as an energetic charge when we’re not “acting on it†to mentally control it as the means of forming the images of our own thoughts instead. This is the same essence that we use to visualize our own thoughts as imaginary scenarios, and is what our own “memories†are made out of. Just as we recall a memory by thinking about it, we tune into this field through our thoughts as our state of mind, and only access (activate) the memory recorded in it that’s of a similar nature.

It’s through “thought†as the minds ability to form images that play out as scenarios that we not only shape and orchestrate essence by vivifying it, but also leave our own imprint as a form of mental signature. The astral field of mold-able light is what you can think of as the field of light-formations produced as the “stuff of our thoughts†that’s permanently recorded in it, and lingers indefinitely. It’s the greater field of what we can think of as the “collective unconscious†or universal mind, and operates in the same manner as our own individual mind. We work within this larger mind-field using the correlated field of our own mind, because it’s the “same type of field†that operates on different scales simultaneously to result in a coherent formation as what we experience as “realityâ€. Our reality is formed by our own thoughts through this astral field of correlated light.

Life as a shared reality is comprised of smaller fields that exist within larger fields of the same kind. This astral substance, also called primordial matter, is “plasma†(the stuff stars are made out of) that’s electrically charged by the mind, causing it to begin organizing into what appears to be a gaseous formation as a cloud-like substance, similar to nebula of star-systems, and then solidifies into a liquid-like tenuous substance that is continuously evolving, and then gradually forms into a somewhat stationary hologram. This hologram as a light-form, becomes the model in symbolic form as a vibratory frequency that serves as the etheric-template for constructing a material formation of the same kind and type. It remains universal in nature on the inner planes of formation as an archetypal idea, and is used as a mental filter to construct numerous versions of the same type of reality based on how it’s applied to new situations and circumstances as our perception of them.

This same subtle energy can sometimes be seen as a kind of translucent impression of wispy movement in the outside world by anyone who has well developed intuition, or who knows how to move back and forth instantly between an active and passive state of mind. I have frequently seen dark energy that appeared as black smoke-like images of demonic-like beings clamoring around, fighting to get in, and following people who are alcoholics or drug addicts, or who are severely depressed. Sometimes I pick up on a movement of energy in my periphery that’s either wispy or smoke-like, and flashes momentarily in and out of existence before disappearing entirely. Other times a vague impression appears out of thin air that resembles a reflection on glass that flutters briefly and then disappears. I was a part of an actual haunting on a couple of occasions, and the image of the person came as a translucent image that seemed superimposed over the outer reality, that had a strange, distant far-off feeling to it. As I saw the image clearly, I also knew things about it that came to me intuitively. Sometimes the image had a vague or washed out color to it, mostly in neural tones, or it was composed of various shades of gray. Through experience I came to realize that the ones that still retained some color were more recent than the ones who were completely faded and gray, and that they actually existed as “memory†that was still lingering in the space.

What most psychic people refer to as being able to see and contact a dead person’s soul, is actually the subtle-body of the soul’s memory that’s still lingering in this plane and hasn’t disintegrated yet. This subtle form, also called the etheric-double that serves as a kind of metaphorical blueprint for organizing and regenerating the body as it’s memory, is what we can think of as the lower, animal soul, which stays with the body after death when the human soul departs, and it remains in the atmosphere around where the body is buried, or where it resided for a period of time while alive. This apparition isn’t alive in the sense of still being conscious and actively creating, it’s merely the memory as an empty shell or ghost-like formation that’s imprinted on the ether.

Sound is also contained and transmitted through the astral plane, especially when it was used as a part of a ritual or ceremony of some kind designed to conjure up or summon natural forces of an instinctive nature. It’s very common to enter into a church or lodge where spiritual ceremonies are conducted with a large group of people, and hear a far-off distant sound of hymns, music, chanting, or prayers being spoken softly. Sounds also propagate as waves through this field in open spaces, or is held in a particle area or enclosure. I was backpacking once and I was drawn to a place to set up camp, and in the evening while gathering wood to build a fire, I kept hearing what sounded like chanting, or someone working a spell. As I was walking back and forth and getting ready to build the fire, I could tell the energy was concentrated around the fire-pit. That evening when I laid down to sleep and everything was quiet, it became so prevalent I kept thinking some people were right outside our tent. I could clearly hear what sounded like an incantation designed to conjure Elementary forces, and it dawned on me that it was from an inexperienced person who didn’t realize that after they’re done with an invocation, they have to “release†the energies concentrated or they remain active within the space. Realizing this, I performed a ritual designed to release them. The energy was then dispersed and the chanting went away.

Another time I had moved out into a wilderness area where I lived mostly in solitude for almost two years, and as I went for day-hikes, there was one area where I could distinctly hear a faint sound of music playing. I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from as there was no one around me for miles, and every time I was there I’d hear the same music playing. So I decided to sit and meditate one day, and as I entered into a completely relaxed and passive state concentrating on the sound, it dawned on me that it was the “music of the spheresâ€. This had such a magical and mystical feeling to it that I decided to meditate there on a regular basis.

The Medium for Communication between Higher and Lower Planes

This is also the field (mind) that our higher self uses as a means of communicating with us, as an inner-voice, mind-to-mind communication and as the basis for what we refer to as intuition as an “inner knowingâ€. Sometimes this communication comes through pictures that appear in our mind out of nowhere that give us a strong feeling of inspiration, and other times they come as an inner voice that always talking to us about things. I can only speak for my own experience in terms of communication from my higher self, but mine is not only deeply intimate and profound, usually with a parent-like attitude of helping and teaching me, but is also quite humorous and playful at times. I was chopping wood out in my yard one day, and this is a true story, I’m not making it up (lol), and I kept hitting the log on the top where my ax blade would go in a few inches and then get stuck. A couple of times it bounced off the side and almost went into my shin. Getting frustrated, I stopped for a moment, and suddenly the clouds parted and the sun shown through lighting up the pedestal and log I was trying to split, and a voice said . . . “Grasshopper, object is not to hit the top of the wood causing injury, object is to hit the bottom of the wood causing it to split†(playing off the Kung-Fu series). And I realized my problem was I needed to aim for the bottom of the log and not the top. So I aimed for the bottom, and swung the ax, and the log split perfectly in half.

Memory and the Akashic Records

This is same field of living energy called the Akashic Records that records all of our dominant thoughts and memories of our actions and deeds. This idea is self-evident by simply observing how your own mind creates and stores the memories of significant events that were of an emotionally intense nature that had an impact on us that served to shape us somehow. If you observe your own internal processes, what you’ll notice is that you use your mind first in creating your experiences by how you interpret things to give them meaning, out of the meaning you give them you form a story about it, the story forms a “themeâ€, which becomes the basis for the memory you form of it as a permanent record. This record as a memory is stored in the field of your mind, where you can access it at will, draw it up, and use instantaneously as the means for interpreting all other events of a similar nature. We use memory as our perceptual lens and filter for creating more and more of the same type of experiences.

We then select and only use a handful of memories that were significant in shaping our identity based on the story we form out of them that became our ongoing internal dialogue, and as the means of interpreting all present events of a similar nature to make them mean the same thing as the past events. Our memories are used as a means of forming instant interpretations where we don’t have to think about things. We use our memory like and invisible or transparent idea that serves to sort through the information available in any situation, abstracting only what’s of a similar nature and can be organized in such a way that it allows us to keep telling the same kind of story about ourselves and our life in an ongoing and consistent manner. Whatever emotional memories we use to shape our identity, also produces all of our natural and unconscious behaviors and becomes the root for all our activities. We use the same handful of memories over and over as what you might think of as a metaphorical template for creating the same type of experiences in the present as in the past, and for forecasting the future to be a continuation of the present (Fibonacci sequence). In this way we create a consistent version of reality throughout our lifetime.

What we imagine to be a variety of unrelated memories are actually produced out of a root memory that was used over and over as a kind of thematic-template for producing more and more experiences of the same kind and type. As an event occurs or we’re directly involved in a situation of some kind, we use memory in its metaphorical state as the perceptual lens we look through to sort through the information involved, and only “see†what matches the meaning of the memory being used. We abstract only a small amount of possibilities in any situation, and organize it in our mind to mean the same thing as the past event being used to form an instant interpretation of it. Whatever doesn’t match the pattern of our interpretation, goes unnoticed and just becomes an inert part of the background. We form a new variation of the same thematic idea as a means of forming how we experience it, and then we translate our experience back into a memory which serves to modify and evolve the original memory used to create it. How we experience something unites the inner (memory as a living archetype) with the outer as its construct or mirror image to form a whole as “coherent realityâ€. The inner and outer are continuations of each other on parallel planes. The reality formed as a mental construct made out of the light of the atmosphere as sunlight reflecting off of and illuminating particles, “is†the astral (star) light of the Akasha. Our personal reality as an ongoing experience born out of a root memory that’s been formed by our mind and then steadily evolved by it’s own variations, form our soul’s life record as it’s own creation of itself.

We always know what’s contained in our Akashic Records (also called the Book of Life), because we’re actually projecting it as our own “realityâ€, which bridges the inner with the outer as a single formation. What’s referred to as the Akashic Records of previous lifetimes, which is represented as memories of each lifetime as a “book†or library as the “Hall of Records†can be known in its ripe fullness in the present life, because the present is evolving out of the past as a continuation of the same idea as a an ongoing theme. We tend to form the idea that memory of something is fixed in our mind as a crystallized structure frozen in time, that records a material event, but upon closer examination we can realize this isn’t true. A material construct of any kind only serves as the “light-body†for our soul as a conscious force to use as a kind of vehicle or template to inhabit and use as the means of experiencing itself “as†a physical form.

The soul doesn’t experience itself as a fixed object, because that object is also being created by it within the sphere of the mind, instead it uses the situation as the means of experiencing itself based on how it interprets it to give it meaning. It’s the “meaning†as a living metaphor that produces the original memory, which then serves as a symbolic representation for producing an infinite number of variations based on how its adapted to new situations and modified as a result. Every time a memory is recalled in the present as a means of shaping it to mean the same thing as the past, it’s combined with a whole new set of elements as variables that modify the shape it takes on, while serving to produce more experiences of the same kind, connected by the meaning they have for us. We use the past to compose the present to be of the same nature as a variation that still holds true to the same meaning and allows us to continue to tell the same type of story.

Memory, like the mind that produces it and gives it life, is a conscious living entity that acts “on itself†(as a construct) to “evolve itselfâ€. On the inner planes of the subtle field, thoughts are living beings that express to form what we experience as an outer reality. Thoughts imagined with sensory details that make it vivid and life-like, where it stimulates our physical body with sensations that naturally call forth emotions in response to it, are infused with our magnetism and brought to life as a vibrating holographic model that plays out as a distinct type of dynamic. This living etheric formation works through resonance to constantly restructure the outer reality to appear the same as the inner reality in terms of the theme played out based on the meaning it serves to represent. As we form the same idea using slightly different elements, it’s morphs into and endless number of modified versions of itself. Memory is what forms the “soul’s essence†and is never stagnate or fixed in stone (crystallized light), it’s in a constant state of creating and then evolving itself through its own creation. As we make an event or series of correlated events “mean somethingâ€, we also make our selves and our life mean the same thing by telling the story we naturally form out of it. The story we tell by living it, forms our identity as our character, out of which all our natural behaviors, activities, and deeds come in a completely natural and spontaneous way.

We are All Seeds Planted in the Cosmic Mind of Self-Awareness

The astral light of the Akashic Field of stored memory, forms and fills the space around us as the atmosphere of the Earth, illuminated with starlight formed as a reflection of itself as matter, and is “alive and consciousâ€. It’s a field of living awareness that permeates the entire universe and orchestrates all natural processes and activities through universal principles, and is “self-awareâ€. Its not some unconscious energy field that’s static and exists out there, or up there, or somewhere else. We literally have our existence “within itâ€, as it, and through it. It’s all around us as the atmosphere we breathe and live in as the means of being alive. Nothing in the universe is dead, its simply different parts of the same overall structure transitioning from one state to another as a dynamic flow of consciousness that acts “on itself†as a means of experiencing itself, and evolving itself based on the awareness formed.

Matter is the subtle essence and substance of the mind that can be thought of as plasma (star-stuff) that’s charged with an electrical impulse (an intention) that vivifies it with life force that causes it to organize into the pattern of the intention. As it begins organizing it appears as a gaseous formation that moves with life in a flowing, fluid-like motion, and as it becomes concentrated it forms into a holographic, 3-dimensional model as a etheric light-body, which is then used to form a reflection of itself as a mirror (polarized) image, allowing it to perceive itself through and as its own creation. We all exist as an archetypal matrix of universal memory formulated in an infinite number of ways as unique variations of itself. Perception in the most basic sense, is “self-perceptionâ€. Not of a single body, but as our “self†in an infinite number of bodies, all of which are comprised of the same fundamental group of archetypal energies (gods of mythology), that are imbued with specific attributes and qualities that form different characteristics, which express in unique ways to create an experience of ourselves as a process of constant and never-ending growth.

This idea becomes even more bizarre and magical when we consider the fact that what we call our higher soul, which is our human soul of our true conscious mind on a higher plane (that’s always self-aware), may be manifesting the entire lower plane as a unified whole formed out of accumulated memory built up and integrated over time and numerous incarnations into different personalities, where it then forms the same thing as both a particle (inner) and a wave (outer), formed out of the same “natureâ€, simultaneously, which is a fundamental principle of light. Our light-body, or etheric-double, which is comprised solely of memory, not only provides a 3-dimensional blueprint for our body, but also for the entire outer reality in which the body lives and has its existence as a means of experiencing itself. It’s not about the body or personality, it’s about the “experience†which only comes from the “wholeâ€. Interaction as what we call our higher self may not necessarily come from “within†our brain and body, but as the entire outer atmosphere that serves to stimulate and animate the body through electrical impulses.

This forms the basis for how all internal processes are stimulated by outside forces that bring correlated aspects alive inside of us where they become active and form the perceptual lens we look through as a means of seeing the same qualities and characteristics in everything around us as a projection and mirror image of ourselves “in†others. If we really look closely at how we form our reality, it may appear that there’s actually only “one of usâ€, and everything outside of us is also being reflected inside of us, and vice versa, as a circulating electromagnet field of the mind. This principle is represented in spiritual texts and Sacred Geometry as the concept of the “Monadâ€, where the outer serves to concentrate a center, and the center expands and projects the outer as a single sphere of consciousness that’s self-aware, self-evolving, and self-sustaining. The mind creates simultaneously on multiple levels of reality born out of dual planes that are polar opposites of each other, and function together to form a coherent state as a single light-formation in which we are both the part and the whole at the same time.

Conceiving Ideas in their Complete Form

Ideas are equally transmitted through this field and propagate as wave forms of memory that are received and take form immediately as a “complete idea†within the mind receiving it. This transmission and conception takes place through the energetic principle of “resonanceâ€, where the receiving mind is capable of comprehending the idea intuitively, and can act to utilize it intelligently by using it to create in an innovative way. Many of our greatest inventions came as what you might call a transmission of the idea being given to them in it’s developed and whole form. Other ideas that lead to inventions that are truly unique come as an idea that acts to initiate the process necessary to develop it as a form of inspiration. Ideas contained within the field also come as memories that have been initially developed in some way by someone else, and provide the basis for new discoveries by taking it as a root idea and continuing to develop it through the continuous stream of inspired ideas that seem to follow it. We can only tune in and therefore act as a “receiver†for information as knowledge that we vibrate in harmony with as having developed our mental paradigm to be able to comprehend and use the ideas as a means of creating them within the material plane as a personal creation. We’re always taking a universal idea as a concept and using it as the root substance for producing a personal creation as a specialized version of it. As we take in an idea in it’s raw form, we adapt it to our paradigm, modifying and reshaping it to be congruent in nature where it can become a natural part of our existing reality, while also acting to grow and evolve it somehow.

In the spiritual world of higher consciousness, every single thought is a act of creation. As we think we form the reality of our thoughts as a means of experiencing them. Our thoughts form the basis for all of our experiences, and we use our experiences to shape our “self†by associating with our own self-made experiences. As we shape and cast a living memory into the Akashic field, it records it in much the same way a picture is recorded on film, where you have a negative that produces a full color image. Once the memory is imprinted in the field, it remains alive and actively vibrating and is still the basis for creating by recalling it in the imagination, using it to look through as a dynamic theme that can be used to shape any situation to tell the story of its theme, producing new variations of it that modify the original version, and it’s steadily evolved into a new and more complex idea of itself. Memories are not dead or stagnate. Each time we recall them we adapt them to a new set of circumstances and variables, and modify them through a process of adaptation. The memory only remains in a permanent form when the mind that produced it ceases to be and no longer uses it for creating. But if it’s accessed by a mind of a similar nature, it can be drawn in by them and used as an inspired idea that they hold in their mind and begin developing, making it theirs.
