Recent Observations About Memory

Posted on October 16, 2026 by David

I have recently become aware of distinct gaps in my memory. Others have noticed that I do not always remember events and places that we experienced in common, and are urging me to seek professional help. So, I have agreed to meet with a professional with expertise in geriatric issues.

To prepare for my meeting, I looked up the current state of cognitive neuroscience regarding memories. Neuroscience studies how the brain supports thought, language, and memory. As the textbook definition puts it, neuroscience studies “the processes by which we perceive, act, learn, and remember.” According to neuroscience. “Memories aren’t stored in one place — they’re distributed across the brain, with different regions handling different types of memory.” This view is supported by many different observations of memory changes when parts of the brain were removed or stimulated.

Those of us who have observed our out of body experiences and have past life memories have a different perspective on where memory is stored. Perhaps it is because we are aware we are spiritual beings animating a body full of cells and organs, each with its own allocation of life force. We have awareness of existing as a human being, with emotions, memories, attention on various things and places, and some ability to perceive the thoughts and intentions of other spiritual beings.

Some of us are aware of our different personas, which are commonly thought to be the version of ourself we present to others. The unifying idea of traditional science: a persona is a constructed identity presented to an audience — strategic performance rather than the full, private self.

In session after session, our personas have been revealed to be other spiritual beings operating to assist us with the complex tasks of everyday life. Our employee persona is not the same as our daddy persona, or our husband persona, or our golfing persona. Each persona has its own skills and its own MEMORIES.

When you are on stage playing a guitar, you are not wearing your husband persona, every bit of your attention is focused on being there and performing. The memories of the fingering and the chord changes are unique to that persona and the spirit running the show. The other personas may have a memory of the crowd responses, but they are not creating the moment and their memories will be different.

When I look back at my 92 years of creating different careers with different personas, I see different levels of detail in different life experiences. When I was actively playing the piano, I performed in various recitals, but I could not strike a single chord now. When I taught myself to play the guitar, I became good enough to perform for friends. I could not form a single chord now. At one time, I was writing machine language code for programmable machines and missile test equipment. But there is a gap in my memory regarding that experience because I do not have that programmer persona now.

I am able to examine my past and present personas and know which are still active and a source of memories. My current spiritual companions provide information and answers when I ask for them.

They have memories I have not tapped yet, as they are immortal and have memories of uncounted

earlier civilizations on this and other planets.

When I reach for a memory and cannot access it instantly, I know that the beings involved in creating that memory are no longer with me. I can usually consult other spirits on my team and recover enouh of the event to reconstruct the name I am missing. My awareness of spiritual teammates gives me a certainty that I am not playing this game of being human alone. My spiritual team may change over time as my interests change and expand. But as long as we act in unison and support each other, our mutual goals will carry us in a desired direction.

Individuals who do not recognize that they have spiritual teammates and random spirits impinging on them constantly, can lose track of their group identity and stall in a less than optimum mental state. I have seen this in relatives and other people. It’s like the spiritual team has dissolved into a discordant babble or chatter and the resultant human activity is regarded as demented.

We have found that Spiritual Rescue Technology has processes and information that will help individuals deal with spiritual issues on their own and with the help of others. If you wish to continue as a healthy and happy individual, you should read my books on the subject.

Are You Spending Your Immortality In A Productive Way?

Posted on October 9, 2026 by David

Version 2.0

One of the disadvantages of wearing a human body is that our concerns tend to be focused on keeping it fed and warm and securing safe shelter for it. There is a wonderful payoff in terms of the sensations we derive from having a human experience, but will you be happy doing that forever in one identity after another with no memory of all your past incarnations?

If your immortality is separated into separate lifetime compartments, each with its own memories and separate from the rest, then why not spend an occasional lifetime as a prize boxer, or as a marmot roaming in the wild? You could even be more adventurous and enjoy the life of a dolphin or an eagle and enjoy the freedom of the sea or the skies.

Contrary to your fondest beliefs, if you are reading this, you are a spirit having a human experience and you have had many more of these experiences than you can ever imagine. For a number of reasons, we choose to forget previous lifetimes and we play the game of being alive from a helpless birth to helpless senescence with a brief interval of productive creativity in between.

Wouldn’t life be richer and more productive if we had access to our earlier lessons in life? Immortality gives us access to unbelievable amounts of experience, good and bad, and it seems that retaining access to this wealth would make us wiser and more capable.

Of course, this would require access to our spiritual capabilities which we seem to have stifled in our quest for human experience. Most of us cannot use telepathy to any great extent, nor any of the other spiritual capabilities which we abandoned in our effort to be human. In fact, we seem to have deliberately shut down any memory of being immortal with the help of organizations like the Catholic Church which banned any discussion of reincarnation in the Council of Nicea in 313 AD.

Perhaps the memories of past sins and other losses were easier to suppress if one started anew with each new body and this was considered an advantage even if it meant starting over and over again. If one considers life as a human a game, this was equivalent to wiping the board clean before starting a new game with a known starting point.

However, there are always those who manage to bend the rules in any game and some humans manage to start a new life with memories and skills from previous lives. We call them prodigies and they usually manage to play the game of life with extraordinary skill. What if we could all remember the best parts of earlier existences? How might that impact our civilization here on earth and elsewhere?

Those of us who have managed to remember bits and pieces of earlier lifetimes, clearly remember spaceships and galactic civilizations and all of the glories and mistakes that were part of those earlier times. How many more times do we have to build a civilization from primitive conditions and bare existence to spaceships and space travel again?

Perhaps the first steps are to recognize our spiritual nature and recover our natural spiritual abilities again. This will give us access to our spiritual histories and to the wealth of data we have carefully forgotten in our efforts to be human. Recognizing our immortality and taking responsibility for our histories will put us on a different path for the future. We will still be able to be human and enjoy picnics and family time but we will also be able to take a longer view of where we are heading and what we want to do for the next 10,000 years or so.

Everything in the material world has been created by spirits. If we recover our spiritual abilities, we should be able to create a saner and happier existence for all life. The uncoordinated activities of spirits have created the chaotic material universe we experience today. Regaining our abilities to create on a grander scale might give us a happier future existence, providing we learn from the mistakes of the past.

We already have immortality, now we have to make use of it to change the game of life for the better.

Using Spiritual Rescue Technology, we have begun to recover spiritual abilities through direct and caring communication with the spirits surrounding us. As we learn to work in harmony with our spiritual companions, we are opening the way for us to undo the mistakes of the past. We are entering a new age of spiritual teamwork that has rarely existed before.

There have been efforts to create civilizations of aligned human beings and our earth history still resonates with the results of these efforts. If we continue our efforts to work in alignment with similarly motivated spirits, there is no limit to what we can achieve. It all starts with treating other spirits as potential allies instead of as problems to be solved.

Finding Joy By Working With Spirits

Posted on August 7, 2026 by David

People describe joy as feeling “bright and light” — colors seem more vivid, movement feels freer, smiling happens involuntarily, and thinking broadens. Those of us who have been researching spirits and our connections to them have tended to find joy when we discover how helping these spirits brings us to an elevated state of feeling lighter and brighter,

For the past 16 years, we have been studying the many ways spirits have been affecting our lives as human beings and this knowledge has been collected and categorized as Spiritual Rescue Technology. It is comprised of the many ways we can recognize and rescue spirits from the incidents they are trapped in. It is now a vast and essentially unlimited collection of incidents from an enormous number of civilizations of which a few thousand have been captured in books and in online postings. The research and documentation of these incidents and their effect on our health and sanity has continued for 16 years and becomes more challenging every year.

The result of this accumulation of data has been the satisfaction of spiritual curiosity, but not an increase in the joy from helping spirits.

I am going to focus again on the basic reason I started helping spirits, which was the joy of rescuing spirits from the traps that had captured their attention, and that only requires that we pay attention to the spirits in our bodies and who already have attention on us. The tens of billions of spirits elsewhere on this planet are left alone unless we have attracted them somehow.

The detection and handling of troubled spirits who are directly affecting us is a simple matter and can be done as a solo action with very little training. You detect a spirit who is affecting you negatively by noticing his emotion. He will be projecting an emotion below conservatism while you are attempting to be enthused about some new activity. You will be considering some activity to improve conditions, and the troubled spirit will exhibit one or more of the following emotions:

Boredom, Antagonism, Anger, Covert Hostility, Distrust, Doubt, Anxiety, Fear, Grief. Apathy

In short, anything other than enthusiasm, is a sign of possible spiritual interference, and if you search for the origin of the negative emotion, you will find the spirit who is reacting to your enthusiasm.

Reaching out to this spirit in a caring way and asking the right questions will allow you to learn what he is stuck in and free his attention from that past incident. This will bring his attention to present time where you will experience his joy at regaining his freedom. Freeing a spirit from the incident he is trapped in always results in you feeling his joy. The time require to free a spirit varies widely. I have occasionally spent an hour freeing a spirit trapped for millennia by his own considerations, and I have freed a spirit from a similar trap in seconds, merely by recognizing him and acknowledging his situation.

This last situation will appear as a confused and lost spirit who recovers instantly when you greet him with a caring intention that pops him instantly out of the hypnotic state he has been in forever. You get this immediate burst of joy as he goes “Wow! and disappears as soon as you recognize who he is. You notice a negative emotion when you mention tackling a project, and as soon as your attention locates the being generating the emotion, he wakes up and disappears.

This sharing of joy is an incredible reward for freeing trapped spirits and you will also experience it when working with helpful spirits on creative projects. Every time I work with my spiritual companions on a writing or other creative effort, I feel the joy they experience while we work together and as we get the job done. The feeling of satisfying teamwork when working with spirits is the same you experience when working with human teammates.

If you develop a sensitivity to spiritual communication, you will experience the joy of happy teamwork no matter where you are or what you are doing. We will be focusing our future workshop efforts on developing teamwork with our spirits instead of just rescuing spirits from incidents. I am looking forward to sharing that joy with you.

If you would like to join me for our Sunday workshops and help us create a joyful experience, send me an email at srtcounseling@gmail.com, telling me why you are interested.

You have a choice when you reincarnate

Posted on July 27, 2026 by David

When you decide that you don’t want to raise a body from infancy and endure all those years of being helpless and at the mercy of others, you do what is commonly called a walk-in. You pick someone with strength and mobility at a time when he isn’t able to control his body. This way, you get a chance to take control and establish yourself before he is able to kick you out.

Opportune times to execute a walk-in are when the person is in the hospital being operated on, when they are overwhelmed by recreational drugs, and when they are in a serious accident.

The behavioral changes that occur are often masked by the confusion of the moment and the effort that is going on to rescue the body. When Aunt Martha comes home from the hospital after her major operation, you don’t expect here to be her normal self. The fact that she doesn’t drink anymore and seems confused about certain things doesn’t seem very important. If you are not really observant, you will miss the fact that someone else has taken up residence, and Aunt Martha is really someone else trying to fit in.

Almost any event that is life-threatening enough for the spirit to leave the body can provide the opportunity for another spirit to take over and walk-in as the new owner. The point to be made here is that any major personality change can be the result of a different spiritual being taking control.

If the behavior of the walk-in is too different from the behavior of the original owner, concerned family and friends may stage an intervention in the form of an exorcism, spiritual counseling, or a stay in a psychiatric ward. These interventions can involve prayer, hypnotism, or even electric shock. Such activities can dislodge the spirit doing the walk-in and cause it to leave. A walk-in followed by such an expulsion is hard on all beings concerned.

A walk-in who picks up the body out of pity or in an attempt to help will generally try to fit in and not cause undue confusion. When this is done, the walk-in learns the ropes and gradually develops their own style of behavior without causing too much upset,

What I did not realize until very recently was that the walk-in may not realize he is a walk-in. His only awareness was that trauma had occurred and now things are a bit different. The loss of memory that occurs when picking up an infant body also seems to occur when picking up an adult body.

I did not realize I was a walk-in until many years after I did it and most of the walk-ins I have encountered in counseling did not realize what had happened until years later. The only thing they were aware of was that life changed after an accident or operation and their relationship with family and friends changed too. In my case, my poor mother had a difficult time when her obedient little boy started asking “why should I do that?”, instead of happily doing whatever was asked.

In normal peacetime, walk-ins are infrequent. In wartime, people are dropping bodies at a much greater rate and serious injuries are occurring frequently. In my counseling sessions, I have encountered many confusions of identity during wartime and they were usually due to a walk-in occurring without being recognized.

A soldier gets shot and picks up the injured body of another soldier and in the end there is confusion as to who he really is. When a counselor encounters this in auditing, he has trouble getting his wits around the fact that the person died in 1942 and dies again in 1945.

Walk-ins will continue to happen and the best solution, once this is detected, is to address any and all confusions with Spiritual Rescue Technology so that all beings concerned can regain their free will. There is a shared responsibility for all beings involved in a walk-in. A walk-in occurs when no one is minding the store. Once the walk-in has occurred, using SRT will sort out the reasons for the situation and can restore peace and tranquility.

Walk-ins are essentially a change of ownership and it is better if all concerned know what happened. If you think you were a walk-in and have any questions about it, I will be glad to help you figure out exactly what happened. Send me an email at srtcounseling@gmail,com and I will give you a free session to help you sort things out.
