Indigo -

If you could tear yourself away from the here-and-now, sort of meditate, but not really, and concetrate on those snippets you have, you may be able to expand those memories a bit. Flashes of memory are tough to get hold of, but understanding the fact that significant events are most readily retained and brought back can help.

For instance, the afore-mentioned memory was when I was about 12-13 years old. I know things happened before that but I have a hard time viewing it. It's foggy and uncertain, and all I have are vague senses of the reality of them. When I concentrate on them I can sometimes hold a single moment aloft in my attention long enough (or over and over enough) to get a glimpse of what was happening. I remember traveling, a lot, both being carried and walking or running. I get glimpses of pathways in the forest, rivers and streams, hills and rocks. I can sometimes feel the cold or the heat on my face. I see people, mostly misty forms, but some more vivid than others.

I'm not sure why I was gifted with these memories, nor what I'm supposed to do with them, but I know they are real and true and I have a resonsibility to take care of them and see they are treated with respect. The "who" that I am as a spirit has not only been here before, but I have experienced something significant that was given to me for a purpose. I am serchiing for that purpose.
