Handling “Senior Moments”
A “Senior Moment” is a forgetful moment that just comes upon you. I was on the phone recently and it was necessary that I give my postal zip code. I know that number as well as I know my own name and have given it out thousands of times. But at this particular moment, it completely left me. Even though I felt stupid, I know I’m not the first guy in the world to whom this has happened.
I can remember my old Army serial number and the license plate number of my Dad’s 1932 Pontiac. But my present zip code? Nothing! A complete blank! I couldn’t find anything within reach that included it, so I had to endure the frustration and embarrassment of hanging up the phone. I’d call back later.
I’m told that that happens to everyone at one time or another, but that doesn’t make it any more pleasant. For what it’s worth, I’m 86 years old and I really don’t have these moments any more often to me than many younger folks I know. I don’t think there’s anything we can do to lessen this occurrence, so I find the best thing is to learn to accept it, make light of it and just go on enjoying a pressure free life. Have fun. Learn to laugh at yourself, and forgive others when they experience the same human phenomenon.
As long as I identify myself as living in this physical world of limitation, I will experience its “normal” characteristics. It’s not unlike forgetting a person’s name. You know that name (or number) is somewhere in your mind’s data bank but you just can’t bring it to the surface at the moment. Your mental search for it is really counter productive because, consciously or unconsciously, you are telling your mind that it’s not there. Because that mind will always believe what you tell it to, that bit of information is removed from your conscious awareness.
We live in what seems to be two worlds. One is finite and limited and the other is infinite, without limited, boundless and all inclusive. These are opposites and incompatible; one cannot be justified one to the other. Webster tells us that they are “elements that are so far apart and diverse as to be totally irreconcilable one to the other.” The finite is negatively oriented and self destructive while the infinite is all inclusive, self sustaining positiveness in perpetuity. We can experience one or the other, but not both at the same time.
To reject the limited, physical environment in favor of its opposite unlimited consciousness, we will not only preclude the forgetting of any finite condition, but will release the “forgotten” element to our conscious remembrance.
I heard it said once that nothing important is urgent and nothing urgent is important. The positiveness of the real, infinite consciousness, of which I am integral part, will continue to operate and maintain the integrity of my perfect consciousness independent of any claimed negative opposite, so I know I’m in good hands.

Over the past 50+ years working as a creative consultant, with focus on problem solving, Davis Goss has developed, tested and proven a singularly unique approach to resolving “impossible” problems to the benefit of a widely diverse client base.
Unlike any other, his discovery is a radical departure from traditionally accepted problem solving methods that are based on academic theory and philosophical abstractions and are without scientific principles. His scientific approach is based solely on impersonal, universal, natural laws and principles that, by their very nature and definition, assure positive results with predictable certainty.
The logical continuity of these natural laws and principles are explained in detail in his book, “The Science of LIVING BETTER FOREVER” available in print form from Amazon or in an expanded E-book version through his website. If you are coming up against obstacles in life that you simply can find no way around, read Davis’ book to find simple solutions to your problems.
