Power. Power comes from knowing and understanding. The power one holds by knowing another's true name is immense. We fail to realize how powerful this little bit of information is. My name, my birth name. Has never been spoken aloud. It has never been recorded. It has never been retold in a story. Alias's and handles are all I have ever gone by. Scary.
I know what your thinking. If my name has never been spoken or recorded, how do I know what it is? The answer I would give is simple yet extremly complicated. It took me quite a bit to find out, but if you look hard enough you can put the clues left by yourself and kin together. Yes, I have left myself clues as the years went by. Clues and hints for a number of reasons. For example: If you are walking through a park, and you mark a tree that looks rather familer to yourself. Would you notice and remember the mark if you happen across the same tree twenty years later?
Despite the fact that time is curved, that the variables are so complicated. There is still a base line that must be followed. Like a ground wire for a live circuit. To say one cannot change the past or reshape the future is absurd. Doing so is the complicad part, understanding it is easier.
So, what is the point of this rambling?
Well. Pretend you had retrograde amnesia, or perm amnesia. It is possible to recall memories using triggers. Say, if I practiced a Kata (martial arts form) over and over again while listening to one certain song. If I heard that song again, I could instinctivle perform the Kata flawlessly without realizing it.
But enough rambling, I'm not here lecture. Lets get on with it.
