Are the “hidden memory traces” that my colleague calls debris, actually particular cordings that occur from dealing with trauma, a kind of spreading of the consequences from reacting to events and the accompanying stress and suffering? Can you give us a tutorial to help in understanding what this phenomenon is, its origins, and its significance?

What she was seeing was the perception that there can be a family of cordings connected to a particular trauma, and given that many traumas are repeat offenses, this can give rise to quite a forest of such aggregates that may themselves have highly similar makeup, even though they are discrete entities and from discrete traumas. This is because the workings of the universe are quite precise as are the workings of the human on all levels. It is important to track things and to assign meaning and responsibility for all that happens and hold all to account for each difficulty or transgression, as the case might be, happening on their watch. This is seen to, as you understand, by the Law of Karma overseeing the energetic signatures of all of the wrongdoing of oneself, as well as others, that impinges and causes trouble for a person. When a trauma happens and the cordings are formed to represent the emotional consequences and the beliefs engendered, respectively, the review of those by the mind can give rise to new pain and anguish. And that is a self-inflicted trauma that will also be recorded in the akashic records, and their energetic signatures form new re-cordings that are a kind of echo of what took place. This can happen over and over and over again, depending on the workings of a person's mind and how much they agonize over things and are a worrier, or are simply in a bad situation with constant reminders that trigger the recall and review of previous trauma. So major trauma events will likely have multiple cordings, not only because they have a series of discrete insults and injuries and woundings, with a group of varied emotions about it all, as well as a set of negative beliefs that are engendered and a liability, and thus, a kind of trauma in their own right. But in addition, these will sprout many echoes potentially, as people lick their wounds and cannot help revisiting the memories of all that happened because the Law of Karma will keep reminding them, let alone their own propensity for perseveration through self-review, to worry and fret about what might happen next. So this is simply a widening of the original wounding, mechanistically, and adds to the healing burden needed to clear way the consequences.
