Short term memories are still memories

 


New Year’s Eve, 2024, Rock Row

     RS taught his web Work group an exercise called Roll Back the Day.  I like it so much that I hardly ever do it, yuck yuck.  
     
     I may not have its precise format, but one practices it at the end of the day as a sitting or meditation after collecting oneself through body sensing and breathing awareness.  Review backwards in time the events/impressions/observations of the day, possibly as if reenacting them briefly.  I think it’s ok to start at the morning and move to evening also.  
    
    This practice, in my experience, moves through memory and subconscious like dream work, perhaps exemplifying a form of Gurdjieff’s self-remembering.  It can certainly fix impressions in short term memory, providing food for pondering.

      I had intended to “Roll back” yesterday at this point, but it was very active, and I’m out of the energy required to continue today.

        Lord help me and all of us to manage our energy and ponder our time with each other and with you.  Thank you for our helpers and for strength to be helpers.  Bless all my webinar friends, whom I remember with love along with the friends and family I know in the flesh.  Grant us a happy new year.  Grant this world a happier new year.  IJN
