00:00So much must have happened to you since the morning.
00:03We do not remember everything.
00:05Why is only some part remembered?
00:07Who is making that decision to keep something and delete something
00:11and keep only that, preferably,
00:14which matches with the identity statement of the ego?
00:18What we take in from our environment,
00:20what ends up being stored,
00:22is not a conscious choice in the way that we normally think about it.
00:26The brain is not exercising that choice.
00:28The brain is a neutral machine.
00:30Memory too is an object to the ego
00:32and the ego is deciding what to keep in the memory and what to delete it.
00:36We keep certain instances in the memory even if they happened 20 years back
00:39and there were things that happened just two hours back
00:42and we don't keep them in the memory.
00:44Somebody else is making that decision and somebody else is self-preservatory.
00:48There is something else.
00:51Something else.
