Why Walking through a Doorway Makes You Forget?
1.A problem that turns into a blessing
We all know why such forgetting happens: we didn’t pay enough attention, or too much time passed, or it just wasn’t important enough. But a “completely different” idea comes from a team of researchers at the University of Notre Dame. The first part of their paper’s title sums it up: “Walking through doorways causes forgetting.”
So there's the thing we know best: The common and annoying experience of arriving somewhere only to realize you've forgotten what you went there to do.
Isaiah 43:18-19 ESV
“Remember not the former things,
nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I am doing a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
2. Getting rid of clutter
The memory works in priorities, and a study says that every time that we walk through a door our memory deletes unnecessary files so to say.
Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. Your filth will be washed away, and you will no longer worship idols. And I will give you a new heart with new and right desires, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony heart of sin and give you a new, obedient heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so you will obey my laws and do whatever I command. (Ezekiel 36:25-27, NLT)
3. Starting new
The Doorway Effect occurs because we change both the physical and mental environments, moving to a different room and thinking about different things.
Every time that we walk through a new door there's opportunities for new memories! and Jesus said, “I am the door”, so he is the opportunity to start all over as a new life.
2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
Ephesians 4:22-24 ESV
to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, 23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness
I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.
John 10:9-10 NASB
