Power of the past

Some people spend an incredible portion of their present-moment life searching for & through the debris of their past. Until - past - I was fifty, that would have described me pretty well; on a constant loop of reviewing & rehashing long ago bits of this & that, trying to get clarity, to make sense of some if not all of it.

Well, there is a use in considering our past, but it seems to me it's only as potent as our willingness to get the lesson from the ancient moment, hold onto heightened positive awareness & let go of all the rest. None of the rest is real anyway ~ it's just our selected memory of a selected moment. Not false, just unreliably skewed.

The power is in the intangible ethereal, not in the memory. We don't keep going over the math problems we did in high school geometry or constantly reviewing the basics of grammar ~ we leave the lessons behind as we live the lesson learned.
