And - Forgetting a child in the Car to Die Phenomena -Memory Failure - Part 1 - Day 401

 

Scientific research that were done about the Memory of the human being shows that in essence, within the current design of the human mind, memory cannot be trusted as memory can be influenced by one's environment and can easily be altered/changed or lost. In some cases, fatal consequences are involved such as forgetting the thing one's value the most in the car to die - one's own flesh and blood baby.

The thing is that this statement above isn't a direct conclusion that was stated within any of the scientific research but if one look at the point in self-honesty, one can see that one has no real control over one's memory as one is subjected to environmental influences that would determine the outcome of events.

 

What is also certain is that an effective solution was not yet presented by the scientific arena but instead, a consumerised regime was born out of the concept of memory failure and so, humans left unprotected within their own mind while physical consequences take part in this process we primarily call life.

 

For instance, as I've mentioned in the first blog in this series, last week there were two cases of babies being forgotten in the car and died. In Israel, it is the fifth reported incident of baby dying in the car this year and yet, it was said in the National safety authority that this amount of babies dying this year does not justify a parental education campaign but instead another minister had promise to implement a distribution of devises that would assist some of the parents, those who would receive the devise, to not forget their child in the car however obviously, this doesn't solve the problem as the core/source of the problem was never in fact identified, addressed and handled to a point of correction. It is on the other hands, assist and support the corporations quite effectively isn't it?

This simply raise the questions:

What is more important - Money or Life?

Why are we waiting for more death to manifest before we move to a dignify solution that involves with extensive work with the parents, educating them in understanding how the mind really works and functions within its relationship to one's individually and collectively environment ?

 

If our child's life is dependent on our memory and we do not have control of our memory (which is something that has been demonstrated time after time) and it is certainty something that cannot be trusted - what does that say about our parenting capability? Nevertheless our human's capability?

What does it say about the decisions that we make? About the History we live by? What does it say about each and every one of us?

 

It is extremely easy to ignore the problem by consumerising a solution, which would be demonstrated on my next blog, but it is about time that each one of us would stand as one's own authority within and as oneself to a point of absolute awareness to everything that is Here without the requirement of devices that we need to be dependent on to remind us of our responsibility?

 

We bring to this world an innocent human being and we hope that they will grow up to their utmost potential without understanding that the child can never be more than what we are as the child would become our exact copy of what we have become. We must understand that for the child to become effective in this world, we must become effective in this world and to do so, we must take self-responsibility and walk a process of establishing self-authority over our own created memory and to thus align our living application to an absolute awareness to everything that is here in each and every breath. We must establish an effective Self Cross-Reference system that is not dependent on devices to remind us that there is Life all around us and that we are not alone in this world as Life is interdependent relationships where each one is a brick in a giant wall wherein only together, we can stand firm, absolute, stable as one.

 

More on the relationship between Consumerism and the Death of a Child in the car will be discussed on my next blog.

So why then, a parent is able to forget the thing they value the most in life? What makes a parent to complete lose contact with the physical world to a point of absolute forgetfulness of the thing they love the most? Here understand, we are not talking about deliberate actions, we are talking about devoted parents that love their child and yet, in a split of a moment their awareness was not oriented to the physical environment.

 

According to the National Safety Council in the US:

Nearly 70% of children left in vehicles are left by a caretaker. Maybe it’s an overworked parent who forgets to drop off their child at daycare.

The National Safety Council placed the word "Overworked" that implies that stress and pressure, that is directly related to our survival, may be one of the most dominant factor that influence the parent to lose their awareness, to the extent of forgetting their child one values the most in life. If we take it one step forward, our failing economic system drives one to extreme mental and physical stress that leads to fatal consequences such as a death of a child that is left unprotected in a car due to their parents forgetfulness.

 

There are many attempts to explain this phenomena of memory failure that leads to fatal consequences. For instance:

 

Failures of prospective memory typically occur when we form an intention to do something later, become engaged with various other tasks, and lose focus on the thing we originally intended to do. Despite the name, prospective memory actually depends on several cognitive processes, including planning, attention, and task management. Common in everyday life, these memory lapses are mostly annoying, but can have tragic consequences. “Every summer several infants die in hot cars when parents leave the car, forgetting the child is sleeping quietly in the back seat,” Dismukes points out.

Diamond says that in situations involving familiar, routine motor skills, the human animal presses the basal ganglia into service as a sort of autopilot. When our prefrontal cortex and hippocampus are planning our day on the way to work, the ignorant basal ganglia is operating the car; that’s why you’ll sometimes find yourself having driven from point A to point B without a clear recollection of the route you took, the turns you made, or the scenery you saw.

 

Ordinarily, says Diamond, this delegation of duty “works beautifully, like a symphony.” But sudden or chronic stress can weaken the brain’s higher-functioning centers, making them more susceptible to bullying from the basal ganglia. He’s seen that pattern in cases he’s followed involving infant deaths in cars.

 

“The quality of prior parental care seems to be irrelevant,” he said. “The important factors that keep showing up involve a combination of stress, emotion, lack of sleep, and change in routine, where the basal ganglia is trying to do what it’s supposed to do, and the conscious mind is too weakened to resist. What happens is that the memory circuits in a vulnerable hippocampus literally get overwritten, like with a computer program. Unless the memory circuit is rebooted—such as if the child cries, or, you know, if the wife mentions the child in the back—it can entirely disappear.”

Mitchell explained that our short-term memory only holds about seven items of information at a time. If we keep trying to put more information into our short-term memory, some items will be forgotten.

"And if you can picture a glass, my short term memory is a glass. And I pour my seven items in there. And in order for me to add more, some has to come out." Mitchell explained.

He said things like being distracted can actually create false memories.

"In the short-term memory [is] the check list, if you will, of the things that we have to do," Mitchell explained. "If we are going through our mental check list and something distracts us, then our check list, we may have actually gone through and checked off something we haven't done."

As you can see, all of the above are examples to justify one's abdication of self-responsibility of being aware of one's physical environment within every moment of every breath. There is no scientific research done to show that one can change the limitation one has accepted as oneself but to the contrary, research proved that in essence, memory cannot be trusted if the memory can shift according to one's dynamic environment; and yet, none of us can read between the lines because if we would have realized that memory cannot be trusted, we may have already change the value we give to memory and accordingly, start our process of valuing the Principle of the Physical breath as the directive principle through which we live our lives.
