I watched the recent TV series on the Inca - they had a similar idea of different layers or types of time co-existing for each individual. Fascinating.

It's the same anmesia you get with childbirth. It hurts like hell at the time, but somehow, a little while later, it all seems like a terribly good idea again...
Enjoyed and empathised with this!
