Couple of months ago I came across this post on death and remembering but also, more importantly, on life.
It’s one of the most emotional readings I’ve had in quite a while.
But what I discovered after reading it is the concept of “continuers” and “dividers”, which is highlighted in this other post.
The, going down the rabbit hole, in the first post there’s this notion that the same neural machinery that’s used for remembering the past may also be crucial for predicting the future.
Now, if you go through these 3 posts, you might, or might not, see a connection. I see it, for myself. I see this as one of the most well painted descriptions of how I perceive life. Of the flow of time and life in my day to day.
The concept that some people have this sense of direction through their days and lives, while others don’t. This concept that some people remember (and re-live) the past differently, the concept (not highlighted there, but clear for me) of aphantasia, all tie together to paint a picture of life. An image of what life can be, in what ways it can be lived and imagined.
Come on, give me the chills
