The Mind Files Program
THE PROCESS
Memories aren’t facts. They are stories or narratives created at the end of every experience based on our level of comprehension at the time of the experience. Those narratives are then categorized and stored in our memory bank—what I call the Filing Cabinets of our minds.
At the onset of a new experience, the mind’s process, using input from your five senses, begins searching in the filing cabinets of your mind for a narrative that appears to be similar to what is currently happening. It places that Mind File in your conscious awareness, providing you with a comparison. Almost always, your mind’s process will agree with the referenced story because it feels familiar. That is why we often say:
“In my experience ________________________.”
During that second familiar experience, we consciously and intentionally add emotion to the original story describing the event, and sometimes, we will expand on the narrative within that original Mind File.
​
Initially, the emotional filters we add are simple statements of I like this, or I don’t like this, but as we mature and accumulate a more extensive vocabulary, our stories and accompanying emotions become more descriptive and dramatic.
Every time a Mind File is referenced and agreed upon, it accumulates more emotional filters, increasing its intensity. The intensity of the Mind File distinguishes between a common emotionally painful experience that most people experience and a uniquely traumatic one.
Extremely traumatic experiences could add hundreds of emotional filters all at once, making that memory so intense that it ends up buried deep inside your FEAR cabinet. These are classified as repressed memories. What I came to understand about repressed memories was that even though I wasn’t consciously comparing the past experience to my current one, my subconscious, or what I refer to as the mind’s process, was. In other words, the mind’s process/subconscious never forgets what happened. It was always referring to that extremely intense experience keeping me in a high-alert, fight-or-flight state. My mind’s process was trying to protect me, but that protection was also imprisoning me.
