Memories

Why do I have such spotty memories of my childhood?

Well, most people have spotty memories of their childhood, because the brain often works like a computer hard drive, and over-writes previous information in the current working files. Usually, your earliest memories are because nothing ever happened to seriously change or over-write that file, stored in your brain - so the previously stored memory/feelingt persists in your brain's current 'working files.'

For instance, a person might have an earliest memory of being neglected, and, if no event with their parents ever made them feel significantly otherwise - enough to change, or over-write, that original file in their brain, it stays in the brain’s current working files.

All the memories are still stored deep in the brain, but they are no longer readily accessible by the current 'working files' of the brain. Sometimes an odd event or an object can spark a chance remembrance of something long forgotten. Usually this is relational - in that the brain is seeking to relate a current feeling or event - and in searching your old stored memory files, you might recall a long ago forgotten thing, event, or feeling, of some similar thing that in some way relates.

PS- Speaking Organically - if you are having memories of a ‘past life,’ they may be based on your education, expectations, and imagination.

Speaking Spiritually - however, the most obvious explanation would be that probably you are now hosting/sharing your body with/and are possessed by - some spirit entity (not you) that once possessed the host body of some other person in the past. So, your spotty past life ‘memories’ would actually belong to that spirit entity that posesses your body now, being projected and remembered for you, to help meld your personality closer to that of the posessing spirit's. Past life memories could not actually be your own mind's organic memory. I know, it slays all the romance of having past lives to even consider this, and the ego of many won't alow them to begin to think about it But, you should probably try.
