there is an amazing story that I'd like
to share with you it's a
story that I heard recently and a story
that has remarkable and very powerful
ramifications there was a doctor who
lived many years ago in Pittsburgh his
name was Dr canel and Dr canel was once
in the University of Pittsburgh Medical
Center and he was privy to an operation
that took place there there was a woman
who came in and she needed an operation
because nebuch she had a tumor on her
brain but it was in a very very delicate
spot and in order for them to perform
the surgery they had to have her awake
at the time what they were going to do
was they were going to touch different
parts of her
brain and they were going to see is it a
dead cell or is it aive cell and they'd
be able to tell from her reaction we
could only begin to imagine how delicate
of a surgery it
was and what she did was she was up and
they would start to touch different
parts of the brain the dead cells were
removed and one by one they were able to
remove much of the tumor and then they
came to one part of her brain and she
squealed she
shrieked and they thought maybe they
touched the nerve nerve maybe they
touched some part of her brain that had
caused such a reaction and they asked
her what is that and she told
them I just saw a vivid image of my aunt
who was playing with me when I was a
little
child and they said wow that's amazing
she says you don't understand I was 2
years old when my aunt died I have no
memory of her whatsoever I mean I
recognize her from pictures but I saw
her playing with me and the doctor told
her that in every brain there is a
memory chamber and when we see something
anything from the moment we are born
till the moment we die that gets locked
away some point and some part of your
brain and it's possible it will be
buried forever especially the memories
that we have from when we're so young
but if you trigger that
memory then it can be as Vivid as if it
just happened that moment in front of
your eyes what a powerful story can you
imagine it could be that when we were
younger we saw something something that
we're really embarrassed about something
we're ashamed of and we've grown so much
it's possible that that is locked away
we hope forever but when we see
something something that is
inappropriate
shom it can trigger something that we
saw decades earlier and bring it back to
life as if we're looking at it that
moment and that is why we must know that
when we're sh and when we guard our eyes
we are protecting and guarding from long
long memories that we hope stay buried
forever the V said something that is
truly remarkable you know the G didn't
live in an era of Technology the G lived
250 years ago the G said Evan
schma that when a person
dies his eyes are kilu the video
recorders that will play back his entire
life from the moment he was born till
the moment he died our eyes are a video
machine and everything we look at is
recorded when we look at something that
is inappropriate it's recorded it will
be played back to us after 120 years but
if we look at Tyra and kadus Anda and
tahim and we look at people in a
beautiful light then that's what will be
played for us when we stand before
the what do we want the movie of our
life to look like that's the question we
know the answer rise above be great and
your movie will be the most beautiful
movie in the world
