# Forgetting & Remembering > Forgetting creates the game of limitation where beings forget they created it while remembering recognizes one as the creator playing it. - Canonical: https://sassani.app/topic/forgetting # Forgetting & Remembering *A clear path disappears behind a hanging mist veil and continues toward a distant glow* In the session's creation story, forgetting is the game of limitation: beings choose the experience of not knowing, then lose awareness that they created the game. Remembering is the opportunity to recognize that one is playing it and, within this teaching, has created its experience. ## A story of limitation The story makes forgetting more than an absent fact or a personal failure. It describes a self-enclosed condition: once the participants forget why they created the realm, they can keep looking only within it. The account is a metaphysical teaching from this session, not an externally established origin story. ## Remembering as learning Here, remembering means recognizing a creative identity rather than retrieving a particular lost memory. The session explicitly calls learning “remembering who and what you are,” and links that recognition to its account of the universes' creators. *A silver filament unfolds from a closed luminous seed into a fresh spiral above still water* ## A related exchange about validation The session also includes a separate exchange about psychic knowing and validation. In that exchange, it says that turning communication into a test blocks the trust it associates with knowing; this is presented as a distinction within the session's own framework, not a test for factual certainty. ## Practical implications Within this teaching, a learner can notice when the search for outside proof has become a test in that separate exchange, then note the willingness to trust that the session describes there. ## Representative passages The experience that we have not had is not knowing. How about let's create the experience of not knowing. In creating a realm of forgetfulness, they even forgot why they had created it. The opportunity is at any moment to remember that you are in fact playing a game, and to remember that you have created everything in that game.— Bashar, Forgetting (forgetting#qa-1) All that you consider to be learning is simply remembering who and what you are, for you are the universes.— Bashar, Forgetting (forgetting#qa-2) ## Related - [All That Is](https://sassani.app/topic/all-that-is) - [Creation & Story](https://sassani.app/topic/creation-and-story) - [Self-Empowerment](https://sassani.app/topic/self-empowerment) Markdown twin of https://sassani.app/topic/forgetting.
