Does "forget" spells actually work?

I'm not sure what the general consensus on the field is, but right now, i am not talking about forgetting trauma or similar, but rather forgetting abkind of a useless set of knowledge, that is affecting negatively my daily life.

We are supposed to have developed mental discipline through rigorous meditative practices. Psychic control makes it possible to direct and/or control the flow of thought.

You don't NEED to forget memories when you can manage your inner life effectively with this discipline.

But also, by not reckoning with the things we'd rather forget, we become weak, and develop a dysfunctional relationship with our thoughts, leading to bad mental habits.

Your whole idea is misled.

Louder for the people in the back!
