Thank you for that, that's just what I was trying to put across when I was asked how observer moments seem to link up. (Although some semantically pedantic people might argue that "We can't remember past experiences at all" isn't true, because accessing our current brain state on the assumption that we have an accurate record of past experience *is* what we mean by remembering past experience. But I know what you mean, and I agree!) Charles
