I dare not stay in this thread for too long, for fear of being lost within it...but I come quickly now to say to Enki:

What you are referring to reminds me a lot of psychometry and retrocognition (which are sometimes said to be related). Or, I guess, retro-remote viewing? He he. Carry on. I just wanted to say that much.

(It should be noted that neither psychometry nor retrocognition involve being physically present for the event relived but rather involve a downloading of information previously calculated by other hands).
