For many, yesterday has way too much control over what is done today. Until this is identified and yesterday is let go of, you will continue to be controlled as if you were a puppet on a string…
Understanding that living life today as opposed to living it from what happened yesterday, 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 yesterday 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 today (right now). There may be something going on between your ears, but that’s the created delusional state of yesterday (what isn’t). The bottom line is yesterday is not the reality of what’s occurring today.
The mind has been conditioned to think it has to use yesterday to create a life that’s better than the one that’s occurring today; 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 a disciplined method of sitting which allows you to break free of the control of these influences. Control is control so the more you’re controlled by yesterday, the less reality there will be. Unless you live with the reality of today and learn how to identify yesterdays influences, it will be impossible to ever be free because you’ll remain under the spell of what happened yesterday…
