Volume IV - Part 3

It is most probably from the subconscient [that the past memories come]. When these memories arise, they should be treated on the basis that they have arisen in order to be dissolved and dismissed, so that by their persistent dissolution one may not be tied by the impressions in the subconscient to the past (that is the machinery of Karma) but free for the spirit’s unbound future.

The best is when you can get the true knowledge about it, why it happened and what purpose it served; then it goes easily.
