The past affects us

We hear all the time that we must live in the present. But what we must not forget is the past often effects the present we face today, it's a constant chain of events that is always on going. It's best to live mindfully and realize that like the past, the present effects the future.

Im a Past Life Therapist in my spare time and believe it or not, the past is the only thing affecting our present life. I see it all the time with the people who come to see me to solve their problems they are having here, now. It all started in a previous life. Fix the past and you automatically fix the present and the future for sure. I know some believe in this and some dont. I respect everybody's opinion on this. My teacher Dr. Morris Netherton said, even if you dont believe in it, if it works, all is well then. It served the purpose and solved the problem.

I'd like to add you as a friend, MagicalBubbles, as I am very spiritual too, a Medium, and have experienced flashes of my past lives in the last few years. I 'saw' them just as I was relaxing before sleep or meditating and they felt 100% real! The most vivid one was when I was a Roman soldier called Marcus Clitus. I know when one of my past lives is being 'played out' when I can see my own hands and feet in the vision. If I am receiving channelled information, I can't.

You are so right and I totally agree. The past created the present, so the now will be creating the future. I agree that we should all be mindful of that. It is amazing that the actions we take affect what happens. It sounds so cosmic, but cool. And so, so true.

Hi savypat, We are constantly creating our future. We have done so in the past and we continue to do so in the present. Blessings.

Definitely. The past has always been affecting us. Our personality, attitude, character, and tendency towards situations. What we have experience is imprinted in our minds and unless we get amnesia, we will carry it to the grave...

well according to me we should not remember past as recollecting information about the past is just a waste of time we live in present and we should learn from the past experiences and see to it that the same mistakes doesn't occur while we live in present i hope you understand my logic of past,present anf future.

That's very true, what we did in the past will always come to haunt us in the present and in future..if we did something bad in the past will always be thinking of it at the present moment..Whatever we do at a given time we should realize that it will have an impact at a given time. We should try to do the things we know will not affect us at a given time.

Whether we want to admit or not the past will always be a part of our lives. the past can be what shapes our future. we can not foeget the past. it is always a reminder of what is yet to be.

yes, remember the lessons we learned from our past actions. what we did in the past affected the present we are living now, and what we're doing now will affect our future... so it's always about you being mindful of what you are doing and remembering the lessons so you won't repeat the same mistakes over and over.

We all live in the present, we cannot forget the past. The past is there so we can learn from it. Although usaully some people just don't want to learn.
