You can read about such things, as I have

You claim all humans are aware of these things. I am not.

Either you are wrong about all humans being aware, or you are correct about all humans being aware, in which case, since I am unaware of such things, they do not exists. Pick your poison.

Then it's just a state of mind, or a metaphor, rather than an actual place. (There's nothing wrong with a state of mind or a metaphor, they just are [not] places.)

Memory is there for remembering
It evolved to be good enough for us to learn from our successes & failures; accurate memory for incidental details was an unnecessary waste of resources.

So we generally remember the gist of events and a 'snapshot' or two, from which we can reconstruct a rough version of events. Plausible details may be added during reconstruction. All this has been experimentally demonstrated in many people.

you are confidently rejecting what you don't understand


and confidently not trying to understand it


because you already know (you actually don't)
