Reply #40: The trick to self memory erasure, is not to think about it.

[RandomThoughts]

You have to be fast, but every time you do not think about something the dentrite connections deteriate.

Simply not talking about things on the news, makes them fade from memory.

And mentioning something often, strengthens how often a person thinks about something.

That is the principle behind the big lie. Also why when you stop worring about silly things that are not worth worring about, you start to see things more clearly, because you do not spend much thought on worry topics.



Mostly I try to avoid watching things I don't want to remember, but there is also closing off thought or going inner thought during the event to not see it, and keep it from imprinting. But still being able to think on the implications of such things.


But then again I can clear thought completly, no image or words if I want. But only because I worked on that for years. Although sometimes restarting thought is a bit tough. Hard to explain, might be what some do when meditating, I used it for focus on things like pool.

Edit: To explain that last part better, many times it is possible to live in your own thoughts, where your input is always overran by your thoughts, so everytime you see something, some thought is right there to tell you what it might mean. It is also possible to actually be aware of things and see things, by not thinking when you observe, but just trying to obsorb what you experiance. That is what I mean by clearing ones mind.
