The brain has a function by which it takes information, particularly from the past, and reduces it to the gist of what was said or what happened. This is proven in a number of different studies. So, what does it mean when a thought doesn't ever get reduced to its gist? It means that what was said and what happened get replayed so often that they are reinforced to the point that reduction is virtually impossible. It means that the emotions involved in the event are held intact. It means that storage networks connecting what was said and what occurred have top priority of all networks. It means that, in the world where events occurring a long time ago normally overshadow recently occurring events, a shift of the natural order has occurred. Simply, it means the thoughts are the most treasured in the mind.
My mind contains just such treasured places, cherished words, and closely held happenings. They are irreducible... sacred... highly prized... eternal!
