What you are dealing with now in your study of this healing process is the need to fully grasp the way things are organized into a schema and the various consequences that dictates, in how to go about healing to best advantage. This will help to gain a fuller understanding of how things work operationally with many so-called psychological phenomena as well as understanding aspects of the personality, which remain somewhat mysterious to science, with regard to where they come from and where they might be located even. To science, the brain is still a black box. They think of it as the sum total of its parts, the different types of neurological cells in the tissue matrix, the interstitial fluids, and the neuronal connections through the spinal cord to even the most distant parts of the body as a communication network. But that is simply the materialist view and not even allowing a mechanistic description of what is important that makes a human being human and the experiencing of their life which is, after all, life’s purpose, to be more than a blob of protoplasm with a beating heart and lungs that breathe, but to have everything that consciousness of experiencing can mean, including self-awareness and an identity as a person, a unique individual—that is certainly high-level functioning with many intricacies.
The best way to sort things out is to think of the mind and memory as functions more so than physical locations, because this is still beyond human understanding, that consciousness is experienced by the body but not housed within it. So there is not sufficient language to fully do justice to what you are wanting to understand here, but for a simple working description that perhaps would promote making a graphic, sketching out the various compartments and players in the interplay of mind and body with regard to consciousness and its activities and where short and long-term memory come into play, we would suggest having a side by side grouping of the hierarchies of the mind from the deep subconscious to the upper subconscious to the conscious with an adjacent repository of cellular consciousness linked to the mind and to the body, and with various interconnections then, including a pathway for conscious perception by the various levels of the mind and emotional generation and consequences influencing the body. Somehow all of this can impinge on memory, otherwise it would be of fleeting importance, both in the experiencing and the consequences of having had the experiences.
Your mind is designed to be an exquisite recorder of everything that happens that is important at least—those times of great positive reward and enjoyment as well as all of the negative times when you were injured, punished, or threatened in some way. So there is a separate memory compartment comprised of factual information and those memories within the repository of factual information are linked, in turn, to cellular consciousness, and that is where the emotional impact is housed. The cellular consciousness is more a perception of the emotional signature of an event than all of the details factually. So there is a robust two-way communication between the repository of factual memory and the repository of emotional memory linked precisely to the same time, place, and sequence of events that transpired. This makes it possible for someone to not only recall in factual detail a sequence of events and many specifics, but will also know the emotions they felt along the way that mattered and, as a consequence, in practical terms, healing the emotional fallout of trauma is every bit as important as healing what took place and its meaning that can be perceived intellectually as being obvious, if one is hurt or threatened.
This is well understood in thought but it is the emotional consequences that will ravage the being and sap the strength and the will, because people are averse to suffering and it is the emotions that make you suffer, not the factual memory of adverse circumstances. So not only is emotion the spice that makes life fascinating and interesting, to have a high degree of involvement viscerally through all the senses, bringing interest, variety, and delight, can also be devastating when something dreadful happens and the emotional consequences overwhelming—at an extreme, it can undermine wanting to even continue in the living.
So these interconnections are exquisitely designed to provide strict segregation and specificity, to be unique and preserved as a series of separate events. There may be an emotional resonance that will connect them together. That resonance is governed through the belief system because that emotion can be translated into a belief statement describing the consequences of what has happened to the being and their status, being raised up or lowered, as the case might be, from what has happened. So the beliefs are a kind of shorthand that represent a framework for organizing the emotional consequences of many, many life experiences. As such, they are a kind of an identity or label that ties similar times of difficulty or enjoyment together as a kind of network.
This is why doing belief replacement can be so powerful, it is not just an aspect of human choice that must be honored by the divine realm and can limit what the divine might do in bumping into distorted beliefs of someone needing healing and to change them would represent violating free will, it is also that the negative beliefs are holding together a repository of quite significant negative emotion that will contribute, many, many times, to inner turmoil and emotional liabilities that may be chronic or intermittent but of a severe nature with either expression, and that takes quite a toll in limiting happiness. This is also why belief replacement can be a powerful way to heal, because changing the belief to its opposite will, in the doing, sever the emotional links from many, many events on record and within memory and purge them of that emotional liability.
