About 12 years ago, I had a serious motorcycle accident in which two physicians thought I would die, and the head nurse in the hospital I was in thought that if I lived, I would be in a coma for life. I survived that, but had a difficult time for months being able to communicate with others again. I survived that as well. While there are similarities here from before my accident, there are many vast differences as well. Rather extreme, abrupt alterations in many things, people, politics, religion. I truly have no interests in many things, I am fascinated with quantum physics, and how and why I'm still here! I spend a lot of time doing as much research as possible, listening to music, and with the animals in my house (I have cats and dogs). Anyone here that has had a similar experience, or know of someone who has is of great interest to me.

Hi, are you saying after your accident you changed a lot? Good to hear you are doing well..

Can't remember where I saw it -might want to do a search -but there was something recently about cases of amnesia caused by various things. Some people became so different -even after technically remembering past events, but somehow not recovering specific parts of their personality -that they felt completely different about issues, people -even dearly loved ones. They seemed like a stranger to loved ones -loved ones seemed like a stranger to them -and some could not simply resume what was once a close, loving relationship.

We are extremely complicated -and sometimes things can get deleted or altered.
That is an extremely terrifying prospect when that thing is someone you love. The idea that they can just be gone is simply not acceptable.

I believe nothing good and worthwhile is permanently deleted, however. We will eventually realize that the present state of the universe required vast amounts of memory to produce. As long as a state is recorded, it can be reproduced. Everything is an arrangement/state of something -so the logic is sound. It's "just" a matter of someone greater than ourselves having our best interest at heart.

This is also a good thing because that which SHOULD be deleted CAN be deleted -eventually leaving only the good.
Why not just do it right the first time? This is the first time -and this is how you do "it" right. Our experience of not how it should be is necessary to create how it should be -how we should be.
