Two conditions of the memory
Abstract
Memory means initially not an ability to learn but the whole of spirit in the sense of a constant inner concentration. There’s no memory independent of my specific efforts. We do not remember anything if we understand our memory as a storage, a mechanical set of events, knowledge, opened truths that lie like potatoes in a bag and wait for an event to illuminate them, to cause them to life. Memory has a virtual being and only through my participation, through the efforts of my imagination it may become relevant. Memory is a set of metaphysical experiences, when our thoughts and our imagination recreate the full meaning of what has happened, make it “pure” and show it “in splendor and truth”, which actually did not exist.
