Experience your Being
Having the memory of anything itself is not a problem, but to have the wrong emotional attachment to it, that is hatred or aversion or love or illogical aversion towards the memory, is what is the problem. When there is no emotional attachment to the memory, naturally you take a clear cut and logical decision, even if the memory plays up in your mind. The actual data or information is never the problem. It is the attachment that you create to it that creates the problem. For example, even remembering an unsavory incident or place creates an emotional upheaval in you. Infusing silence into this area of your mind which causes this in you is the best solution to escape from this turmoil of the reactive mind or the unconscious mind. If you can liberate yourself from this, it is the greatest liberation. You will then experience the vital energy or the atma-shakti - the experience of the energy of your being.
