Question: I have noticed a sharp decline in my long-term memory for the past two years, even more since I became pregnant and had a child. I had made major changes in my life and had started to live in the present, mostly, and enjoy and make the best of everyday. As time progressed, I noticed that my memory of the past was fading, and even when I could remember I chose not to dwell on it, whether it was good or bad. It had already taken place, and I had to go through that process to get here. Is this normal for people that are trying to become more evolved, or is it something else?
Answer: Many people notice that their memory changes as they live a more conscious and present life. As the awareness becomes more freed from past conditioning, the memory patterns associated with that conditioning also change. They become more faint and we are less identified with them, as you have already noticed. For some people, this can be a little disorienting or even disconcerting because they are afraid they are losing their memory. Generally, people find that they may not carry around all the information and memories in their mind to access it at any time like they used to, but when they need to remember something, then it is there. It is more in the spirit of living life spontaneously and in the moment, instead of life being dictated from the past.
