Hmmmmm. So embrace the memory over the feeling? If your refering to mindfulness its not really memory as such just the first moment of being aware of something

Is mindfulness as second nature enlightenment? Well enlightenment simply means the Buddha awoke to the nature of dukkha, cause, cessation and path

Mindfulness (sati) is constantly there since you are aware right now. The trick is learning to "sink" into mindfulness

This can be helped brought about via understanding the Four Noble Truths

How much of Buddhism is literal and how much is left to personal interpretation? Problem with saying something is "literal" and another thing is "interpretation" is that it sounda a little dogmatic. The Buddhist way is to hear, test and see

I'm sorry, I have millions of questions. Dont apologise ask anything you want
