The trick isn’t keeping your memories you have always had them, it’s hacking your bio hardware into letting you access them. That’s what people call intuition for the most part. Instinct tells me when a woman is ovulating by smell, intuition is your limiter failing and legacy code creeping in and giving you centuries worth of advice and instantly knowing what to say and do to get in her pants.

This is actually where folk religions come into play. Because human lives were so brutally short back then they had to adapt and quickly. Whoever our creators are in their hubris didn’t realize nature is absolutely fucking merciless and century by century we mutated by survival of the fittest into being able to access those legacy memories. The most mutated were known as shamans, wisemen and wise women. Those that didn’t simply died out. Looking at a delicious plant and having a bad feeling about eating it kept your ancestors alive. Walking into a sabretooth den and seeing her cubs meant survivors who could access those legacy memories knew at that moment momma is an ambush predator that likes eating necks and is right behind them watching and they need to respond right now.

As civilizations grew it made humans weaker by changing their survival requirement. Humans no longer needed to survive into adulthood, but simply reproduce quicker than child mortality can claim them.
Thus humanity has changed to a reproduction stratagem. Thus it is my theory that the secret of previous recall lies in folk remedies of religions and civilizations that believe in reincarnation.
We can assume Judaic branch religions are NPC factories by virtue of them fundamentally misunderstanding life. My research therefore took me into Zen, Taoism and Japanese Buddhism as I am Japanese. I can say for me, I believe fundamental Taoism as described by Laozi, Chaungzi and Huangdi have the answers you seek. And these days my intuition screams and roars instead of whispers.

Cont’d.
This is also by all means non-inclusive. As I speak Japanese as a Nip-Burger and visit family in the home country I am aware of Japanese centric values.

I can say that Jodo Shinshu is incorrect for what you are asking. Nembutsu is useful for older practices but Jodo Shinshu Buddhism is a fundamentally dishonest religion. There is a monk known as Myoe I want you to read. Myoe lived in the Kamakura era and was an excellent sage. Myoe has excellent lectures on everything I would tell you, in particular focus on his concepts of Mantra of Light usage and Dharmic decline. In addition he has several passages on how to use Kami whispers to give useful advice. This seems unassuming, but it’s one of the last periods honest advice can be given for Japanese Buddhism, at least esoterically.

I believe Myoe’s advice is very pertinent to your question and may have the answers you seek. If it doesn’t then it could be a cultural issue and you might need to find a culture closer to your beliefs.

It’s quite easy to find. The culture must not have a permanent afterlife, and must have literature and ritual invoking spirit advice. Spirits don’t exist, or at least how /x/ sees them and feels them. It’s just bits of scrap code, floating in the air, temporarily escaping from the great databank of our peoples combined memories. 

The main thing is not to lose hope, and don’t believe in charlatans. You will die after death, shutdown and release your combined energy into the societal noosphere on Earth and then be recycled and invoked once more, like a spark plug on the engine of life. I enjoy Taoism because it was the only religion honest enough (I’m sure religions like Tengriism and Shinto is the same as well though) to admit you will die and you will be meatgrindered into a non existent sludge of data. Give TTT a try. When you read it, it probably won’t make sense, that’s because it isn’t for you, it’s a payload for your limiter.
