What use are memories?

What you have to remember with most modern nlpers is that they take things like timeline, anchoring, trance, swish patterns etc and use them as remedies to problems. Are you in time or through time? Can you anchor a state to have in front of your boss? Etc. These are fine when helping a client to navigate life but let’s go back to the basics of what timeline is. It is our way of describing how someone is storing memories. It is what we can see described in a way we have learnt to describe it. Now ask yourself what ability for storing, recovering and changing memories would you want your child to have? Do you want them to have to learn timeline when they are an adult to solve problems they have, do you want them to have to use a therapist or coach to solve their problems? Or would you want them to grow up with the mental unconscious ability to firstly store their memories appropriately and then be able to manipulate them as they need to live life successfiully?
If your child grew up with this ability then I bet you would think they were pretty clever, you would think they were delivering all the potential that they were born with, of course you would.
To have the flexibility I’m suggesting is possible is to have the neural pathways in the brain to do this. You may be familiar that in your pc or laptop is a CPU, a central processing unit. A CPU has a fixed performance, pay more and you get a faster better CPU. The CPU is equivalent to your brain’s neural pathways but unlike the fixed performance of a CPU your neural pathways can be changed and new ones built. This is what happens when a person has to rebuild their brain after a stroke. This is what happens as a child develops but the child’s development is dependent on the input from outside.
Which is why the majority of people never reach their full potential or even a good bit of their potential. Do they need to? Society only needs them to fulfill a function within it, it doesn’t care whether you are fulfilled in any way it only needs to keep the system going for it’s survival.
The Earth has been habitable for eight billion years. Homo sapiens emerged only 200,000 to 50,000 years ago. We have been around a very short space of time. Now consider what thinking skills a human would have needed in the past compared to today. It is only 600 years ago that ordinary people could get books and then they had to learn to read.
But all through this time the social environment was initiating the need for new neural pathways.
