Answer 4

What evidence exists to substantiate each specific memory? Memories are by nature a product of the mind, changed and created by will. They may be actively created in the present, or constructed from past memories in order to "fill-in the holes," or to tell a particularly desirable story, or to justify actions or desires. The first good question about memory is authenticity: what is supported by real evidence, and what is not. That leads to the troublesome question of what is real evidence. The testimony of others is useful only if it can be known that these witness are real. The best tools that I have seen are permanent unchangeable evidence, consistent logic, and intuition (does it seem right/make sense?).

After confidence is established in each memory, then the next best inquiry is the effect of that memory on each individual. How does this memory affect you? Destructive memories are best to be accepted and released.
