When a past memory comes up that makes you feel badly, you should remember what the Course says it's for. It's for forgiveness, just like any other negative thing. Whether what's in your mind is from the past, present, or future doesn't matter. It's all the same because it's all equally untrue. Having bad memories is actually one form of what the Course calls mind wandering.
It says, "You are much too tolerant of mind wandering, and are passively condoning your mind's mis-creations." The ego loves mind wandering, and bad memories are a great way to keep you stuck in your bodily identification. Because the feelings that come along with the bad memories make you think that it's all true, which means everything you remember happening really happened. That in turn, makes ALL of it real. But the Holy Spirit it telling you that NONE of it is real!
