EXPERIENCE has taught us that this path of looking more closely at ourselves, although certainly not easy, is truly the only route by which we can at last leave behind the ‘cruel invisible prison walls’ created early on in the exploration of our humanity.
We become free by transforming ourselves from unaware victims of the past into responsible, responsive individuals in the present. People who are aware of their past, have processed and accepted it for what it is and are thus able to live with it.
The irony is that most people do exactly the opposite. Even those who profess most loudly that they are on the path. Without realizing that the unprocessed past is constantly determining their present actions, most people avoid learning anything meaningful about their history. They continue to live their lives in the state of their ‘repressed childhood assumed situations’, ignoring the fact that these situations no longer exist except in the mind of the beholder. They live in continuance of the old and repressed, continuing the posture of fearing fears and avoiding dangers that, although they once were real, have not been real for a long, long time.

Fighting a fight you can neither win nor protect yourself from. Why? Because that was then and this is now and it is not here now.
We now know that people are driven by these unconscious memories, repressed feelings and unfulfilled needs, and this state of affairs tends to determine nearly everything they do or are willing to attempt to do or fail to do.
So it seems that life is something that happens to you
While you are busy thinking that you are doing something else.
