generational behavior permanently, whether it's a financial crisis or
a coronavirus crisis.
These traumas that people feel (due to crises) change their actual personalities, and those changes characterize the "persona" of their shared generation.
That is what "Living Memory" means: The traumatized persona of a generation who can't communicate the reasons for its behavior to its offspring.
Its behaviors beget relatively predictable behaviors in its offspring, because parental behaviors based on trauma will always inflict another type of trauma on the parent's offspring.
Enumerating this chain of trauma will always circle back to the "most dire" trauma in four generations, as any "potency" of Great-Great-Grandfather's trauma is simply "fantastical nonsense",.. because "the world has changed".
So, what is the use of this knowledge?
Knowing this "Secret Knowledge" develops interest in what each of these four (as the fifth is the next first) personas is; how the chain of traumas works; how to communicate trauma to retain "living memory" after "living witness"; and how to "engineer" a line of descent to best position itself to prosper within the four generational cycle and eventually bring more lines into this engineering project,.. and perhaps finding a way to subvert the cycle all together.
..sounds rather "Illuminati", doesn't it!?
