This has nothing to do with forgetting the past. It is about our relationship with the past. It is about having the freedom to bring into now what we want to, and to not let our habitual thinking and unconscious living have this power over our lives and experience. "Empty of yesterday" does not mean anything goes away. Our body and it's brain and memory and mind does not suddenly disappear. In fact, "empty of yesterday" means you see things as they actually are, not as you are creating them to be with your imagination.
Now includes memory. But if one is free of yesterday, it is background, not foreground. It is available to be accessed if one desires to, but it is not imposed forcefully as consciousness submissively accepts it as experience.
This is all about the relationship we have with our thoughts and mind and memory and everything else. In normal consciousness, there is no space between what we experience ourselves to be and all of this other stuff. In liberated consciousnesses, one is not identified with this stuff as self. Self experiences itself as independent of these things.
