THE MOST IMPORTANT EPIPHANY EVER

.... and it's gone. I may never know or remember... I hate that!

Write everything down in the moment or get being ok with not remembering.

I forgot to remember I forget

“Man’s mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions.”

My response
I agree... Observation though... I've been keeping a blog (this one) for [nearly] 4 years, on average 4 posts a month, basically it tracks what's important to me at the time, observations, thoughts, theories... It's amazing how much of it I forget, it's amazing how something which was important eventually becomes a distant memory, so I don't think all ideas stay 'stretched' some inevitably go back to how it was before thinking about it... and I'd never have realised this if I didn't experiment on myself.

The information may become memory; which is a more peaceful way to exist; though the stretching of the mind is done at the point of learning; altering the minds original trajectory. Or dimension as that quote put it.

Your mind has expanded significantly in the past 4 years.

It sure has, and that's evident with the documentation... It's original purpose was to practice articulating and dividing complex thoughts and theories ... I did get better but I'm still a bit wordy... One day I'll have those light bulb one liners like the one which inspired this chat

The forgotten post

I forget what I need to remember and remember what I need to forget.

And if I looked back through my blog,  I'd probably find this quote I wrote already,  but I can't remember,  and if I didn't,  I forgot to put it in earlier.

We forget a lot more than we think!

'Simple' is not always defined by the process or procedure, rather it's the perception and acknowledgment of focus.

Do not remember writing this

Memory Mind blown

Most memories aren't lost, but their triggers are.

After trying to spell sooty I remembered an old children's show I used to like and hadn't thought of it since I was a child - unless I did but have no trigger to remind myself haha

I forget

It scares me how much we really forget and how our memories are altered by our feelings
