Definition

• Universal Memory (also greater memory) is the field of all patterns of vibration that constitutes the totality of existence. It is the substrate from which all individual experiences arise.

Key Teachings

• The Universal Memory is like an ocean — individual experiences are waves on this ocean. The wave and the ocean are not separate.

• What we call the 'external world' is the Universal Memory appearing as objects. The 'internal world' is the same memory filtered through individual layers.

• The Universal Memory is not a storage in time — it is the timeless field of all patterns, including patterns of past, present, and future.

• In self-realization, one recognizes that the individual self (jiva) and the Universal Memory are one — there is no separation.
