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 puppeteer…
Understanding that living life today as opposed to living it 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 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. The bottom line, the past is not the reality of what’s occurring today.
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 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 the past, the less reality there will be. Unless you live in the reality of today and learn to identify past influences, it will be impossible to ever be free because you’ll remain under the control of the puppeteer of the past…
