If Earth represents a pre-school environment for poorly developed
consciousness then there would be little memories?
Also if you were running a virtual world in some VM and the population
largely adopted a spiritually depriving socioeconomic ideology of
separation and fear and if your population would largely consider
talking about other "realms" to be hogwash and unscientific (as small
picture science can only describe what is going on within our small
picture VM world ... a subset of the bigger picture defined through
physical laws) then you would end up with people like you and me having
never actually tried to get "in touch" with other realities because of
mere ignorance and a very limited decision space.
In "My Big Theory Of Everything" by Tom Campbell he describes just that.
I am not saying whatever he is writing is the truth but I learned that
we maintain so many dogmas and belief systems that it would not surprise
me if it was actually true. Many native tribes talk about how your
spirit is fundamental and this world is not.
I find this train of though to be very interesting in the context of AGI
R&D. If this world isn't fundamental then working on AGI suddenly makes
less sense. If you were free to leave this reality (if you really cared
and tried) and to interact with other realities in a non physical way
then what do we need a cure for cancer or computronium for? Of course
I'd love to experience the spiritual process of expanding my
consciousness through merging with superintelligent entities
nonetheless. :-)

Then you might ask how come we don't remember anything. I'd
say maybe our memories are stored offline in another location.
