You allign yourself completely with the present because the here and now is all that matters. The past is but an echo and the future is fragmented with a thousand possibilities....its all here and now.

Power to the Peaceful.

Don't think about the past again or the future. It's "Now", the present, it is your responsibility to shape about your actions for your future, including your fate.

What will dwelling among the things you've done wrong in the past accomplish? Like viginti and gordon have said, live in the now. Jesus once said you must forgive. Forgive yourself and you become open to freedom truly.

It's hard to give advice on something like this over the internet, but I would suggest looking into Eckhart Tolle on youtube or something.

It's enlightening, literally.

Well I'd say you have to be genuinely remorseful (sorry). If you don't mean it then thats no good at all. Then if there is anything to help make-up for percieved past wrongs 'try' to make some recompense.

I don't think anything else is required and the former is more important than the latter.

No matter what it is that you have done, just forgive yourself!

:)Like many have already said: 'Live in the Now.' Guilt is nothing but a belief system invented to make your life a living hell. Get over it. None of have been perfect, but then again maybe we have all been perfect at the time (not that time exists) and just don't know it yet.

Hugs,

Alice

You'll be advising Cremation of Care ceremonies next. I fundamentally disagree with the two preceeding posts, but each to their own.
I believe you can only forgive yourself AFTER the two steps I laid out.

True freedom is just what you described. It's not a "how," it's a "What?"

You will see the "sense" in everything around you. All will connect and the reasoning behind all that has ever and will ever occurred makes sense, as nonsensical as that may seem. It makes sense, but you aren't knowledgable of the "reason," you just KNOW that it's there and you become at peace with not knowing. There is no need to know and you don't need to "fix" it or get passed it.

You don't see the why, but are aware of the need for the intermingling between all things that occurs with the right and the wrong. From beginning to end, the fluidity that your existance has allowed you to experience ALL makes sense. You are free of judgement of these things as wrong or right. They just are.

That is what freedom is. You release yourself from the mental prison that bias and judgement puts on your mind. You see things clearly without a fog in the air or smudge on the windshield. The fog that makes you act to "change" things in the past or prevent recurrences of previous ills is lifted. You accept but are not submissive. Your own interest and desires are in tact, as well as your knowledge, but you are free from "action."

Freedom is just that. Inaction. I am free to think how I want and say what I want. I am free to trade my beliefs and you are free to listen to them.

What hurts freedom is action. Action to change the way I think, and it's always physical. You lock me up. You beat me up. You hurt my physical body or restrict me from going in places in life because of the way I think. That is when freedom is lacking.

Freedom is a concept. A mind state.

Direct action, if possible, is the best solution to harmful past actions. For example, the obliterati reconciled after almost 14 years of separation to raise our then-13 year old child together. It is the single most important thing either of us have done, in my opinion. All three of us healed from brokenness and have managed other super-human feats of emotional health that would've been impossible without the first step. I encourage you to reach out in love and peace to those you have wronged. It's so worth it for that infinitesmal chance they may meet you with the same attitude.

i no longer blame or forgive those i consider worthy to carry blame.

how can i? blame evades logic, except as a psychological construct to deter thru guilt, a socially-conditioned self-punishment.

i don't think you should be the least bit remorseful of past actions unless remorse helps you be a better person.

i also think it's unhealthy to repress remorse.

i think the guilt complex can be replaced by unconditional love, and unconditional love is a better way to motivate helpful behavior than a guilt complex.

if you intend to be the best person you can be from now on, suffering for the past's sake is pointless stupidity.

Forgive yourself and also forgive others write it down or sit in front of a mirror or close your eyes and do it. Don't continue to carry a ball and chain around you for all this life. Everyone makes mistakes.

So when i jump down from airplane without any parachute and any chance of hitting the soft place will "here and now" thinking turn me into indestructible thing so when i collapse with earth i wont die or get any injury ?

If he's bringing it up, then I think its safe to assume that he does feel sorry and regrets some things he did in the past.

As for my advice, it's to just forgive yourself, and then start moving forward and promise youself to never look back!

Guilt is sometimes hard to try and forget, but it takes time to sit back and realize that you must never again get in the same position as you was all those years ago. Live for today, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, but keep your chin up and go forward. Never think of the bad things you have done, lets face it, we have all done something bad in our past. Even the elderly have, but they have learnt to carry on, otherwise we wouldnt be here to write on David Icke's Forums.;)

The answer to this question is quite simple.

It doesn't matter.

When you awaken, you realize that there is ONLY the here and the right now. There is no future and there is no past. What happened and what will happen are simply nothing to what your soul feels. You gain experience and collect memories for the sake of realizing that they should simply be let go for they will only hinder the present, which is the state your mind will always be in.

Your mind never "exists" in the past. Yes, it always exists, but only between the past and the future. What has and what will happen are simply irrelevant because the mind is never in those places.

I believe it was once stated, "Ignorance is bliss."

It's not ignorance that you must seek, however, it is simply acceptance.
