EXPERIENCE has taught us that this path of looking more closely
at ourselves, although certainly not easy, is truly the only route by which we can at last leave behind the cruel
invisible prison walls created in our childhood.
We become
free by transforming ourselves from unaware victims of the past into
responsible, responsive individuals in the present. People who are aware of their past have
processed and accepted it for what it is, and are thus able to live with it.
The irony is
that most people do exactly the opposite, even those who profess most loudly
that they are on the path. Without
realizing that the unprocessed past is constantly determining their present
actions, most people avoid learning anything meaningful about their history. They continue to live their lives in
repressed childhood roles, ignoring the fact that these situations no longer
exist, except in their minds. They
continue to live with old and repressed assumptions and also continue the
posture of fearing fears and avoiding dangers that, although once real, have not
been so for a long, long time.

Fighting a
fight, I can neither win nor protect myself from. Why? That was then and this is now, and it is
not here now.
People are
often driven by unconscious memories, repressed feelings, and unfulfilled
needs, and this state of affairs determines nearly everything they do, are
willing to attempt, or fail at.
