For many the past has way too much control over what is done today. Until this is identified, and the past is let go of, you will continue to be controlled by the past and your future will never truly be…
Understanding that living life today as opposed to living from what happened in the past is the difference in being at peace or being controlled by conditioning. When you’re living today, you’re with true reality not a made up reality. When there isn’t the reality of today, there’s the delusional state of the past which makes for very little if any peace in your life.
The reality of what’s occurring today means if you’re reading this post, that’s reality. There’s nothing else going on beyond what’s happening right now. There may be something going on between your ears, but that’s the created delusional state of the past (what isn’t). The bottom line is the past is not the reality of the present moment.
The mind has been conditioned to think it has to use the past to create a life that’s better than the one that’s occurring right now; this is what keeps you from truly living life. I’m not sure why this is, but I do know it has to do with influences beyond one’s control. To me what matters is to develop discipline by sitting which allows you to break free of the control of these influences. Control is control so the more you’re controlled by the past, the less reality there will be. Unless you live with the reality of today and learn how to identify past influences, it will be impossible to ever be free because you’ll remain under the spell of what happened in the past…
