But the cool thing is that you were able to access that.
So what happened to that moment?
My cue, my prompt, dinner last night, required you to kind of bring up the entire episode of your evening.
From that, you used your flashlight to hone in on the specific episode of dinner.
Then you even went even more fine-grained and visualized, maybe even if you thought about it, it was a delicious meal, you might even get your, you know, mouth might start watering.
So this ability to pay attention is what allows us to have access to everything we hold in our memories.
Yeah.
So I think that the flashlight gives a sense of agency.
You hold the flashlight.
You can willfully direct it.
You can give yourself guidance to do that.
Somebody else can prompt you to do that.
But there's another thing to keep in mind about this flashlight metaphor beyond the fact that we use it for the external environment and the internal environment, which is that
it can also be grabbed or yanked.
So if you actually think like you were walking down a path at night and you've got this wonderful flashlight tool, so handy, you can maneuver your way, et cetera.
If you heard a strange sound of rustling in the foliage around you,
All of a sudden, the flashlight is going to go directly to where you thought you heard that sound come from.
Why?
Because literally it grabbed your attention.
It could be something concerning.
