When the past has power over you
Psyche scarring from horrible events can leave you with fixed considerations that interfere with your evaluation of present time events.
How do you remove the influences of the past on your present-time consciousness? Is it possible to re-evaluate the considerations that arise from your memories? Experienced explorers of consciousness agree, "Yes you can!"
The injuries and humiliations that you suffered in the past are over and gone. Time and circumstance have changed and so can you. Here is one of those "secrets of the ages" that Avatar® students keep discovering: How much you let the past affect you is under your control.
"Now wait a minute, Harry," you say. "Some of the things that happened to me were horrible events."
True.
"No one should have to experience them."
True.
"The reason I still consider them (consciously or unconsciously) in my evaluation of current events is to keep the horrible event from happening again."
Not always true.
In fact, your fixed considerations actually set you up with expectations of the horrible event reoccurring.
Expectations can shape how you experience reality.
