But I don't remember that whole period, and what it was like. [/quote] I can almost remember the day I was brought home from hospital. Some of my most vivid memories I have are of when I was a baby. The strange thing about that is that my thoughts seemed fully-formed. I could even follow and correct the English of a book that was being read to me. One thing that sticks out is that I was much more aware of what other people were thinking. It was almost like I could read their thoughts. [/quote] I hear people say this about their own childhoods, and it is just so. Not. My experience! Child psychologists say kids don't remember much until around age 4; that is true of my own kids. They have memories starting around age 4 but nothing earlier. Me? I have very few and sketchy memories before age 8. The memories I do have before age 8, are so fleeting OR they've been co-opted as others (siblings, parents) tell me what they remember. Age 8, however, I have very clear, vivid, detailed memories, including one particular memory in which I fell asleep... and I never actually woke up. I have long not been able to shake that feeling, that it's been all a dream since age 8, and one day I'll wake up and still be 8 years old. It's become a long-standing family joke because apparently I went around insisting I was dreaming for quite a long, long while. [/quote]

Hello!
I have been living in this world for some time now.
I came from a place also named Earth, much like this planet. There are a number of differences between my home and yours.
I thought it would be interesting to share a few things with you that are relatively common knowledge where I am from. My reasons for doing so will probably be more apparent in the future.
* Consciousness does not exist (but relationships do)
* Matter is gravity that has been structured
* We are not human (we are perspectives)
* When the totality of something cannot be grasped, it appears infinite.
* Space is not physical
* There is no "now" or "here", but relationships.
We use a kind of language like you use numbers here. Numbers, representations of abstract concepts, were 'invented' to work more easily with the world around us. Our language is no different.
If it were invented today it would probably be thought of as existing in parallel with science. A new kind of science.
This language also enables the shifting of perspective like a kind of mental technology. Some of you may find it quite interesting.
If anyone is interested in learning more please let me know.
Thanks.
