Soul Memory

By Caraf Avnayt

I have shared in this book the eight elements of the soul, the sort of memory each carries, and how we can release blocked memories of the primary five elements of water, earth, fire, air and friction to release enerrgy blocks in our consciousness and lives.

In my experience as a traditional herbalist coming from a background of traditional healers, I have found that most of the illnesses and life energy blocks that do not resolve with the usual treatment, resolve when blocked soul memory is released.

That we have lived before and will live again, this is universal philosophy. We have been cut off from the power we have in our soul memory to heal ourselves, and guide ourselves towards the fulfillment of our soul purpose.

Our ability to love ourselves drastically increases when we face and accept our memories of life beyond just the visible here and now.

This book is a letter written to Ed about my findings through my own life recovering from trauma at the age of 8 which left me with serious memory loss. Through life I've seen myself and others heal by releasing soul memory in conscious or subconscious ways.

Introduction

Dear Ed,

In my experience with illness of the recurring and chronic kind, the sort that frustrates people, the sort that doesn't resolve in one round of treatment (for example), I have in 9 times out of 10, found that the cause is an issue with memory. The 1 out of 10 times, it is caused by a poison being taken long term as part of lifestyle, and the problem resolves when the person stops taking the poison.

But the 9 of 10 times has interested me a lot over the years and yesterday while walking with Gabriel I realized that I'd spoken with Granddad many times about it.

Because of my own mind being distracted and weighed down by matters in my own life, I was not able then to consciously process what he was saying.

When I was 8, Ed, through a traumatic incident I lost most of my memory. I remembered to read and write and do math and so on. But my recognition of people, names, faces, and such were mostly wiped out. It was a huge challenge for me as I returned to school in 3 weeks and I had to re-train myself about who was who.

Granddad taught me things about memory then and later through my life as I continued to be memory challenged.

I had a condition where I would actually forget from my conscious mind, for a while, all events that happened between two dates and function like those days didn't happen. It's been documented in survivors of trauma worldwide, especially children. The person just tries to maintain a world view of happiness and peace in order to survive in the moment.

But what's not documented is how memory lapses and unnoticed amnesia causes physical conditions and problems in resolution of conditions.

It's like this - How can you remember what you've forgotten, if you've forgotten it so well, you don't know you've forgotten  it?

In 1996, I believe it was, Ed, there was a huge media drama worldwide over the death of Princess Diana. In India, just two or three days before that, Mother Teresa had died in the hospital after a protracted few days of tension during which everyone was expecting her to die anytime now.

You know how the media does it, Ed. For more than a week, the media built up the tension surrounding Mother Teresa's hospitalization. Every detail was in the papers. We were told what a big loss it was going to be. How the very future of charity itself was at threat. We were told the timeline of all who she’d met justs before being taken to hospital, which tea and biscuits she’d had.... what would happen if she recovered and what would happen if she died.

And then she dies, Ed and I'm coming home from one of those half day classes at school in the lead up to the big 10th grade public exams. And the streets are all solemn and quiet. As I park my cycle, a neighbor calls out, Mother Teresa died! I thought she must really care... being a Christian and all. Who didn't like Mother Teresa...

I can't lie to you Ed.... I didn't feel sadness or trauma. I'd seen many people age and pass away by then. I was mostly happy for them. I didn't think it was cool that they spend their days in hospitals on tubes just struggling.

But then I went in, and the foster grandparents were in front of the tv, devout Catholics and all, like one foot from the tv screen, saying, The Pope will say something now.

Again, no trauma. People passing on wasn't anything new.

But there was this build up of SOMETHING Ed. I could feel it.

Two days later, Princess Diana's death was announced.

Whoa. Mother Teresa went out of the news like bubbles down the sink drain as water flows out the tap.

Me being such a deep thinker,
