Another view is that human beings do not need drugs to induce selective amnesia. The brain has pre-programmed ways of layering memories inside the psyche. You uncover information on a need-to-know basis. Through a process of peeling the layers of self-created illusion, a human being can reconnect with the truth underneath it all.

You guys should do an article on how and when humans think they’re safe. Like, say you had some workers over to fix your bathroom and they were putting cement over a brick wall to make it smoother, and they’re making an odd scratching sound. You know you’re safe because you know the workers are making that sound. But say you hear that noise in the middle of the night, the workers are gone, and no one else is awake in the house. You’d certainly get scared and a little worried. But humans tend to wish that it was an actual human being making that noise, even though they’re not supposed to be there and it would be very odd to have a stranger in the house during that time of day, than, say, a ghost. Why is that?

The Akashic records everything your being ever thinks and feels in this lifetime and in other lifetimes. Human beings can evolve to access their personal record or consult individuals who have developed this skills. The human mind is layered with illusions it calls memories. The mind selectively reveals what the conscious mind is ready to grapple with or accept. The unconscious mind has access to infinite inner knowing within and beyond. It grasps the big picture that human conditioning blocks in order to learn.

@PFP – There certainly is a much higher incidence of all sorts of mental illness amongst the homeless population vs the population of the entire country. PTSD could certainly be a big contributor to this as it’s hard to treat and some elements of it seem to be specific to individuals. In a word – it’s a mess to diagnose and deal with.

With regard to long standing harsh memories: I’ve seen a study that has shown a strong correlation between post traumatic stress disorder and homelessness. I don’t have a link to the study, but this is linked to the long lasting, hard to rid effects of memories in some way. Just thought I would chime in with that tidbit.
