A Question I Continuously Revisit v.1

If you were offered eternal life, if you were offered a beautiful, resonant and storied life that continued without end, but you were unable to remember the experience, would you accept?

Probably not but why not? Why do you find it unappealing? (How are you so sure you’re not living this very proposition now? You could be 10,000 years old)

Remembering serves as proof. Even though it isn’t physical proof, even though you can’t hold memory in your hand or put it in your pocket, the experience of memory feels like proof, like ownership. Memory has a subjective quality to it. It’s self-oriented. Your memories revolve around you.

So even when offered supernatural powers like eternal life, you will decline because the offer doesn't work sufficiently on your terms, the terms in which you’re most familiar and comfortable.

If you are offered love or triumph or epiphany it must be on your terms, it must be within your cognitive and emotional means. Confined by the limits of your personality. Your requirement to remember limits your ability to experience the supernatural and the inspired.
