Chapter Seven: Memory
There was not a moment of her life that Kathy could not recall, she remembered
everything. She remembered the birth canal, the darkness of the womb, her
mother’s breast.
She remembered her first birthday, her first steps. She rememberd
struggling as an infant, struggling to be understood, to speak, to master the
muscles in her tongue and lips, so that she could form words against her palate
and speak.
Her contextualization was perfect, and it was as fast as lightening. She
could pull together the most remote and seemingly unconnected pieces of data to
provide context for analysis. Her proctors believed that the speed with which
she could arrive at conclusions was not measurable. She could answer questions
in no-time.
She defied understanding.
The field of her knowledge was not limited to her own experience. It was
tied into her genetic heritage, the memories of her ancestors built into her
DNA. But it was more than that, she was able to tap into something else that was
only understood through mythic narrative, a structure that no human being
actually understood, and of which only a few human beings even suspected the existence
of; the nous sphere, of Tielhard de
Chardin, the cynergenic field of Carl Jung, the collective unconscious of
planet Earth.
In that electromagnetic field, that quantum reality, the entire
repository of human knowledge existed. Kathy had access to it, she was not the
first human being of which this was true, but she was the first person that it
did not drive into madness.
Now that she was standing in Jim’s apartment, she knew that he had lied to
her about a great many things. His life was not at all as he had presented it
to her. This life was not his only life, there was more than one Jim, of that
she was certain.
Kathy was not surprised.
