Thanks for a good discussion

I'm trying to not commit the same errors I usually make and clog the
list with what some might see as irrelevant material

Cheers,
Jim

I've enjoyed all of your discussions of this very much (although I must admit, I felt 
sort of ignorant in the presence of you scholars). I have a question that is only 
slightly related to this discussion...

There is/was a practice of mortification of sins (or so I've been told), in which the 
sinner beat the guilt out of himself (OK, I admit, my understanding is vague, please 
correct me on this, I'd appreciate it). My real question is this: Does anyone know 
anything about the concept of mortification of memory? It has to do with purging one's 
self of sinful memories or something like that. I'm presently involved in research on 
directed forgetting/instructed ignoring and see a historical precursor.

Thanks for any help that anyone can give me.
Carol
