Host Memories

For those who recall entering their host, were you able to draw/share the host's memory(likes,dislikes,names,places,etc.) as soon as you established yourselves? Did it require a period of meditation to make sense of it, et cetera?

I had to have a bit of a think about this.

To clarify my coments, "T" is the older shadow who moved in to me; "S" is the person you normally see posting here.

T doesn't recall moving in. The best way I can explain it, is T was very much unconscious when he moved in, and he gradually woke up when he was already in situ. Likewise, before, during, and immediately after the transfer, S was very ill and not aware of what was going on. She was more concerned with not dying than with strange feelings in the back of her mind.

T has never engaged in any form of meditation or reflection whatsoever while living here with S.

He has no interest in energy work, astral projection, meditation, past life regression, or anything remotely esoteric. It might seem strange for a shadow, especially one who doesn't have a physical body of his own, but he is very much down to Earth.

When T is "fronting", he is aware of S's memories as a kind of background stream of information, something running without attention from him. S and T are co-conscious, so theoretically each has access to information the other has; but it's a bit like someone's diary sitting open on a table. You can read it if you want to, but you choose not to.

Very interesting..and it corresponds with my own experiences as well. Thank you for sharing. <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->

I'll turn this over to Solaith:


There was a period of forming a connection of sorts. I guess much like finding a radio signal on an older model of radio in your world. It is a two way connection, but she has only traveled to my side once. It is similar to the memories you get in dreams. You know what is going on in the dream, but you don't know how or why. I visit, and unless she chooses to hide a memory, I know it. But she is more open with me than some.

In the beginning, it was more confusing.

She decided to write about my world, so I share what I feel comfortable sharing. I study magic at home, so I have some interest in magic in this world as well.
