Do we ever really "forget?"

There have been some interesting studies done (referenced somewhere!) about people who are undergoing brain surgery being prodded with electrodes. It seems that the mild current "brings back" memories in vivid detail, including tastes, smells, and particularities that would "never" have been possible. It seems that we are messy filers. We don't forget the data, we just forget where we filed it.

For those of us who are believers, the thought of a complete and exhaustive resuscitation of "who we are" on the final day, by simply recovering all our activities in thought, word and deed is interesting, if speculative.

Please accept my apologies, I meant to ping you to 545.

Thank you oh so very much for your insights on memory! It would be very helpful if medical science could facilitate recall - for patients suffering from memory loss or mental problems, investigations, etc.

Truly, I expect anything I have ever thought, said or done to be subject to review and/or judgment (Revelation 20.) Thank God that He will be the judge of them and not those whom I have offended.

LOL DreamsofPolycarp!!! Isn't that the truth!
