How Can Someone Remember Something When They Are Unconscious?
Although known through Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, that an unborn child or someone unconscious in the operating room could “hear,” this datum has been “rediscovered” many times since. A quote from the Sunday London Times: “Anaesthetized patients often hear subconsciously everything that is said during operations, and suffer ill effects as a result.” From Dianetics: “Clinical tests prove these statements to be scientific facts: • The mind records on some level continuously during the entire life of the organism. • All recordings of the lifetime are available. • ‘Unconsciousness’ in which the mind is oblivious of its surroundings, is possible only in death and does not exist as total amnesia in life.
