You Can't Fix The Past

You Might As Well Laugh

You can’t fix the past, you can only complete it. There is a general belief that if we remember history, we won’t repeat it. Sayings like “never again,” are pronounced with the belief that if we engrain the memory of the trauma into our collective consciousness then we won’t let it happen again. Except it all happens again…and again…and again. 

So remembering doesn’t work. 

People are a funny bunch, the errors of history keep repeating (or at least rhyming) and yet the same ineffective means of solving the problems are tried over and over again. That the mistakes of the past are perpetrated on the present is obvious, but for some reason the failed solutions of the past are continuously employed as some sort of fix.

The individual is a microcosm of the whole. And the path to healing for the individual consciousness is the same road the group must take to heal. You can’t change the past. You can’t fix it. You can only forgive it, heal it, and complete it.

Healing the unresolved hurts of your past, including those passed down through the collective memory of your family, frees you from the the bonds that keep you a slave to a lesser world view and the limitations that stop you from realizing a greater outcome for your life.
