Is It Hard to Detach Yourself From Your Past Memories, Especially the Bad Ones? Why?

We need to learn how to relate to the past as something that no longer belongs to us. It is not a force that we must fight with, but it simply needs to be cut off, allowed to fade away like a passing haze. It is an inner conviction, and a quiet determination, that we have no connection with the past.

In short, what was… was. It has already fallen away. It no longer exists.

Our entire work from this point onward is to master the present: to stand firmly in the moment we are in now, not in what was yesterday. The present is where life flows, where change is possible, where the upper force of nature meets us.

When we live fully in the present, the past dissolves on its own.
