There's an old hippy axiom that everything takes place inside your head. Sort of a narcissistic point of view that turns a totally subjective observation into an apparently objective one, because it's pretty hard to prove otherwise on a daily basis and most people are fine to go along with it so long as they survive when it's over.
Everyone except Jacob Dunningham from the University of Leeds and Vlatko Vedral from the University of Leeds and the National University of Singapore. Who proved that reality exists independent of our measurements: The Nonlocality of a Single Particle Demonstrated Without Objections (phys.org) 1994, That means the moon is still there when you're not looking. Most people take that so much for granted that they use the world for a kind of RAM short term memory and get confused when they go in another room and get distracted by the change so they forget why they're there.
Given that easy acceptance, I'd like to propose a modernized and updated revision to some traditional pantheons of angels and demons:
There's a phenomena called Mental Block, it's a version of negative placebo that you do to yourself. It's part of a persons libido (the fun stuff). When stuff isn't fun enough, or actually unpleasant, you just skip it. When you skip some definable category of stuff long enough, the routine begins to happen by itself and blocks whatever was down that train of thought. Presto! Auto brain wash = bliss, sometimes including the frustration of loosing track of it. Sometimes.
So this is a workaround in case you actually want to remember. There's some kind of brain mechanism that selects for influences that can be classified as me or not-me. The "me" stuff responds to my influence like when I move my arm or smile in a mirror. It's me! I remember who I am when I recognize some part of myself, it's a memory symbol similar to the assumption that the moon is there when you're not looking. An extension is writing symbols on a piece of paper that represent words, or (like Remote Viewers who scribble a line of some sort to represent some wordless impression) it's possible to ascribe traits to imaginary beings that will represent a group of traits, and give them names like Mars or Cupid. Those things were probably mnemonic devices at one time but you don't have to be a Harrapan priest to make them up. You just identify some group of traits that you want to work with and give it a name, same as a Buddhist Tulpa (just google it).
As far as I know there's no other process for doing this w/o lots of therapy (if you can afford and trust the shrink). Tulpas have a lot of lore, some of it is unnecessarily creepy (IMHO). Because generations of people have generalized groups of Tulpas into bands of Angels or Demons, good & evil, it's what people do. But one cultures demon is anothers angelic protector so just don't get freaky, the definitions are deceptive & they're all just made up anyway same as all powerful creators that ignore everyone because they're important.
But to get more specific in my own case, I got so frustrated by forgetting names and things that I know perfectly well (I'm famous for that) that I named the process. I knew that if I resented it, I'd just get stressed out and put up a bigger block because the association wasn't fun, so I made it fun. I named the process (like a stuffed toy), and he's a kid angel. When I have a memory block, I tell the kid. He wants to help people and I'm pretty sure he's helping me write this now because it's coming together all at once w/ fairly coherent descriptions after months of disorganization. I'm tempted to call him autonomous but then he woulkdn't be part of Me and might take on uncontrolable qualities. But that would also be false because he is me.
I'm guessing that there's also a version of dealing with stuff that you WANT to forget, like PTSD (duh obvis because it's a negative placebo too but instead of blocking a memory, it makes it hyper acute). You can name someone or some process that lets you remember w/o getting stressed, because it's not about the memory, it's about stress & cortisol. Identify it and name it, make it a friend so you can deal with it.
Full disclosure: I'm also taking mushroom memory supplements (WONDER DAY mushroom gummies from Amazon), made with Cordyceps, Lions Mane, Turkeytail, Chaga, & Reishi.
