So here, the writer is showing us that both the memory of how to build a body an

d the memory of past infections are both stored or recorded within the body, mos
t likely in the DNA and/or RNA. So why not for experiential memory? Wouldn t that
be the simplest and most obvious option?
How exactly memories are stored in the body, let s be honest, there s no way in hell
I can offer you a complete answer but I can offer an idea
Think about it, if you try to bring to mind a person you have a strong feeling a
bout
either good or bad, you will find it quite easy to picture their face and t
he emotion will probably accompany that image. Now try to picture someone you do
n t have any feelings for either way
they are much harder to bring to mind. This w
orks best for people you have just met the memory forming window, rather than pe
ople you see everyday.
We all know how smells and sounds like music can have profound effects on stimul
ating memories these types of memories are usually very strong and felt intrinsi
cally in the body as well as being a visual experience.
this also applies to muscle memory, the more you do something the more your body
remembers how to do it and the physical (nerve and circulatory) pathways are st
rengthened, bt more importantly
the *feel* of the movement is recorded.
Additionally, it is advised when using image memory techniques, such as those em
ployed by Derren Brown, that when you create an image-link or story you should
make it very funny or bizarre, so you can remember. The reason it is easier to r
emember is that you are evoking a response in the *body* be it humour or shock i
t is that and not the image itself which is the key to the memory.
I am suggesting that somehow this body stimulus invokes changes in the DNA/RNA
