It is not as you think

A group of people were asked to write down their account of an earth-shattering event like 911 and what they personally did around that time. These observations were safely stored away for a few years and the same group was then again asked to comment on the same events. The most amazing thing happened, many reported very different personal accounts and they felt so strongly about them to the extend that some responded to their original memories 'Well, I know that this is my hand-writing, but I am telling you, this is not what happened.'

The believer of a rational world and a rational mind will have to get upset about the surge in psychological studies that shows again and again that we are full of biases. Some will conclude that that only means that we have to try even harder to be mindful of our mental imperfection. I would say, don't even bother. Our hardware is biased and imperfect but it works just well to bring you home to our Source. Memories are there to show you finally what you didn't appreciate in perfect clarity when it happened, namely that you are pure love. Problems in the past are remembered but you feel strangely detached from them whereas every loving gesture, smile and kind word is remembered the way it really happened. You recall the event and the impact with the force of a blazing sun. It is not as you think, but it is as you feel if you allow your heart to talk to you.
