It seems that we have two choices in life:
– 0 –
If you let the past overshadow the present,
the past will make its own future.
– 1 –
If you let go of the past,
in the present you do create the future.
Letting go of the past doesn’t mean you cannot learn from it. Letting go and learning are in fact complimentary: As you let go you catch the lesson!
When we miss this complementary we usually get caught either by inertia or by overdoing it! … or doing it over ! aha-hah
If we use,
not the inertia from the past but its lessons,
we lift ourselves up:
Bootstraps!
For example: If I let my mother in-law take too much care of my children because it is convenient, I loose the chance to create, re-establish or stabilize a more direct relation with my children. Isn’t it?

A take-care intention can become a take-over.
1
A much more creative momentum can lift-up the situation.
…mmm
The essence of discerning awareness is what we call lucidity.
Neither slowed down by the vast array of past reality,
At the speed of light, it runs through myriads of binary codes in full agility.
Nor jumping over the full array of present opportunities
In one split of a second,
It kills the past & creates a more appropriate reality !
mmm…
Delicious Indeed !
