Why do long forgotten memories resurface?

When a memory resurfaces, usually something triggered it. All your information is recorded and you access it by thinking of it.
Memories are mini movies with pictures and sound and sometimes with feelings, tastes and the sensation of touch.
If you have been thinking of something, or have had an experience that reminded you of something else, but you couldn’t think of what it was, you activated the information in your mind and even though you will go on in the foreground of your thoughts, behind the scenes, your mind is still ruminating and trying to locate what has been forgotten.
Then out it pops.
Sometimes you aren’t consciously aware that a new experience is similar to an old experience, but your subconscious mind is aware and will bring out the old as soon as it finds it. If you do not connect the dots, you will see no reason for the return memory.
All of life works in cycles, including thoughts. Just because a thought is not in front of you all the time, does not mean it is not active in the back ground.
Thoughts carry energy and their wave is equal to the importance you give them. When you store a thought that carries an important emotional wave, that thought remains active.
Our most powerful thoughts (and memories) have to do with love and loss or joy and sorrow, however you wish to see it.
Thoughts and memories attached to anger or fear are also powerful and active.
Information that is active due to a powerful wave, is never truly silent or still.
