Amnesic Barriers

[FreyasSpirit]

The one time we broke through our 5th grade barrier was when we were exploring "earliest memory". We found a memory from 6th grade before school then once it was found, attempted to experience that memory in first person. The end result was that we brought out the headmate who experienced that memory. Memories appear to be more strongly shared the lesser the temporal distance from the memory so this headmate was able to access some memories of third grade, things like going on a hike and using rocks to try to build a dam in a river.

Our current theory is that once a memory is accessed, all present headmates retain the memory of accessing the memory. As a result, headmates who existed in times temporally close to the memory are more likely to have cofronted with the headmate who experienced the memory and are more likely to have memories of accessing that memory. As a result, our plan is to bring out a headmate from around that time by attempting to experience the memory in first person. Once that headmate is out, we will have the option to explore memories from around that time.

Of course, there are risks involved in digging up stuff which is why we have not done it yet. The method is dangling in front of us, ready to be pounced, but we aren't ready yet. Once we are in a more stable headspace, we plan to poke at elementary school in this manner.
