So fascinating ... There is much to think about here.

All of this is well within our own spheres of understanding. There is always this tendency in 'the mind' to write stories. When I say stories, I mean the kind that lays out a schematic for the mind to then function within the known.
Some memories trigger a negative story, while some create a positive story and without our knowledge, we end up creating a story for every situation we come across. This is such a fascinating phenomenon within the mind.
Things get a lot easier with the awareness of the story being written. This is when we get to be the observer of the story and not the actor in it. :)

@cryptogee Thank you for sharing.
