A.N.E - E.T

" The past lives in u as memories,but memories in themselves are not a problem.In fact,it is through memory that we learn from the past and from past mistakes.It is only when memories,that is to say,thoughts about the past,take u over completely that they turn into a burden,turn problematic,and become part of ur sense of self.Your personality,which is conditioned by the past,then becomes your prison.Your memories are invested with a sense of self.and ur story becomes who u perceive yourself to be.This "lil me" is an illusion that obscures ur true identity as timeless and formless presence."
A new Earth - Eckhart Tolle
