The Spiritual Practice of Forgetting: Letting Go of the Past

In a world that tells us to remember everything, spiritual teacher Paul Wagner suggests something radical: one of the most striking things you can do for your soul is to learn how to forget.

# The Spiritual Practice of Forgetting: Letting Go of the Past My dearest friends, I want to talk to you today about something that might sound a little strange at first: the spiritual practice of forgetting.

In a world that tells us to remember everything, to hold on to every detail, to learn from every mistake, I’m here to suggest something radical.

I’m here to suggest that one of the most intense things you can do for your soul is to learn how to forget. Now, I’m not talking about amnesia or ignoring the lessons life has taught you.

I’m talking about a conscious, intentional, and deeply spiritual act of letting go. It’s about releasing the grip the past has on you, so you can be fully present in this beautiful, precious moment.
