How should we interact with those memories as they arise?

That question is motivated by the old system of regurgitating fond memories in the mind from physical incidences. For instance, if I felt happy some day at the beach or at the night club and then later, I remember the incidence and rehashed it over and over, with ever repeat giving me pleasure.

But this means that the mind is designed to do this with physical incidences. If this does not occur on the spur with astral incidences or with certain types of astral incidences, it means that special efforts must be made to make that happen and to make the psyche switch its focus into regarding those desired astral scenes as essential to the self in contrasted to the nature given process where the physical reality and related astral incidences are the priority for memory storage and memory reinforcement in the mind.

It starts with becoming sensitive to the natural method of recovering and regurgitating physical memories and the related astral scenes. When these arise, the yogi should stop them from being repeated. He should give a no-repeat order to the mind and be sure that the mind complies with that and does not ignore that. Over time of doing this the mind will begin to fill in its need to rehash with the subtle and super-subtle events.

This is part of the gradual transfer from physical to spiritual but taking it a step at a time, going from physical to astral, from astral to super-astral, from super-astral to spiritual. Instead of being idealistic and planning to move from physical to spiritual.

The physical incidences and the astral ones which are supportive of that should be diminished. The memories of these which arise should be squashed. Then over time the shift will begin to happen. This is even true for departed souls who left the last body without cultivating astral events memories which are not related to physical interest. At the end of the day, the physically related interest must be confronted boldly in the mind and their memory value reduced to nil. The effort is real. It is a struggle within the psyche to achieve this.
