"If you look
at your problems logically,
you will see that the past
is not your problem.
Whatever hurtful things happened
to you a minute ago,
a year ago,
a decade ago,
are no longer here.
But what happens
is the mind replays
the situation
over and over.
And you end up chewing on it,
being totally involved
and identified with it
without ever even
being conscious of it.
All of these incidents build up
& get replayed over and over
and it becomes your identity,
the program that determines
your experience.
By witnessing your thoughts,
and letting them go as they arise,
the thoughts still may come,
but they no longer
determine your experience.
They no longer
have any power over you.
If you are not
identifying with the thoughts,
then the whole thought process
loses it's power over you.
Everything slows down,
conflict dissipates,
and your identity as your past
falls away.
The memories can still be accessed,
but they no longer define who you
are in this moment.
Blessings,
Kip"
