Erasing Memory

[deadsilent666]

Is it possible to erase a bad or depressing memory in anyway? there this memory that has been bothering me very much and making it hard to meditate now. I know about past life regression meditation but is it possible to erase ever taking part in the experience completely?

No. The mind generally doesn't work with negatives, so even if there is a way to do that, it can't be done while you have resistance against that memory. See, for the mind there's no such thing as good or bad, there's only focus. What strong emotions you have against a memory, whether good or bad, you bring that memory to you. The only way to do that is to stop focusing on it. I.e. fully accept that memory, don't resist, and at the same time acknowledge you prefer to have a better one instead of that. This way you'll focus on other things, but not until you stop resisting and fighting that memory. For mental things there's no such thing as brute force and fighting them, this only makes them worse.

I also want to add about other things that intrude when you meditate, trying to fight or get rid them or becoming upset make them worse. Acknowledge them and go back to the meditation. If they are too strong to focus in your meditation, then stop for a moment and observe those thoughts/memories/feelings. It's okay because you acknowledge those things in that way, as the JoS site mentions about suppressed things you have that pop up during meditation.
This bad memory you said is obviously someting you're trying to suppress instead of acknowledging, bringing it to light and accepting it. Keeping suppressing it and trying to remove it will make it worse.

P.S. To help you understand it better, it's not the memory itself that's inherently bad and caused you problems. It's the things you tell yourself about the memory that make all the emotional turbulence. I doubt the same memory would affect another person in the same way. I've found pretty much with all the memories and other things, if I stop judging them and resisting them and just feeling the sensory experience of them they are not as bad as they seem when I'm judging and attacking them. And they just go away and lose all their bad feeling, then I naturally focus on something else.

If it contains moments of actual physical pain or unconsciousness, then it will be stored as energy in your mind and will trigger like a stimulus response mechanism without your control.  If your lucky and you didn't experience physical pain or unconsciousness it can be handled fairly easily.  You basically do exactly what your trying to avoid doing.  You rerun it over and over again in your mind.  Think of its negative energy as a battery that you have to discharge and simply keep doing it until its completely discharged.  This will help greatly in both cases.  Only the Wizard in the Harry Potter movie can extract negative thoughts from his mind.

Would those methods of not resisting/dealing with memories also apply to a song that is stuck in your head? Everytime I meditate I have some random song get stuck in my head and I can only silence it for seconds at a time and it almost always comes back. I'm curious is all.

Fire starter is really right on about all this. I find myself advancing through mind stuff instead of energy now. I had all these weaknesses that I tried to suppress, which made me really angry. When I started accepting them I pretty much sat and cried for three days, I couldn't believe how intense it was. That's when I realized this simple formula.
 Insecurity = Ego
 Ego = Anger
 You attack it at the root and it all goes away. Once I started accepting myself at the base level, everything became easy. It's like the reason why everyone does the things they do. Like a bunch of scarred children competing with each other over who the biggest badass is. I always wondered how there were Gods with waist long hair and very feminine, artistic poet types like andras. Yet Andras is a total badass. Now it is starting too make sense, he doesn't give a shit what others think nor tries to control their reactions to him. If others want to think lightly of him they are free to do so, just don't piss him off. 
 I am so excited to think that one day we will all be immortal and perfect. Living together in a perfect society. There is so much change that has too happen in all of us. I am no exception, I was the most insecure of them all. Too finally just accept yourself as you are and become secure on the inside, is so amazing. Also, trying to fulfill yourself I don't believe works as well either, serving others becomes much more fulfilling. At least too me.

The repeating song problem is something everybody experiences.  Not a problem.  Except like, when your meditating. 

What's happening there is, you are "becoming" that singer.  You imagine yourself to be that person and you become that person.  You actually start acting like that person.  You want to be them.  You shift from your own spiritual manifestation to theirs, which is usually more powerful or cool or desirable "or not prone to stress" etc.  For example you take on mannerisms of that person.  Their is a funny person at my job and I've conversed with him quite a bit lately and now my jokes and stuff and the way I talk is like him.  Once you see it once or twice, you'll know what I'm talking about.

I think your using it as a way to escape from being alone with your spiritual self.  Just being there...

All you have to do is re-read the section on Satanic Void Meditation and do it exactly like it says.  Some people have never had to just sit still and not do anything before.  Having a song play in your head automatically really aint shit.  All kinds of really bizarre things can happen.  These things smooth out the longer you refuse to acknowledge them.  Some people get freaked out by this and it seems impossible to overcome.  We all go through it.  Just keep doing the mediation.  It will smooth out.  Things will eventually stop happening and you will feel as though you can just sit there with yourself for hours on end if need be.

One of the little crutches I use, is to not acknowledge time.  To tell myself that it doesn't' really exist on the astral.  That seems to me to turn the power supply switch off on a lot of bullshit.
