Your experiences of the past have helped to form what you are, today. For better or for worse, this is largely true. IF we allow ourselves to remain as we are, in our “bubble of reality” that we have created for ourselves from past experiences, this will remain true. Even if our past was highly successful, and we have reached all our goals, it is still a trap.
Life is new every day. To appreciate its newness we need to break free of this bubble from the past. Eckhart Tolle suggests that we do this when take on a new point of view: that of self-observation. This allows us to have a new perspective that includes the universe outside our own egoic mind (that had been built from the past.) Doing this puts us in the now, with its newness of the moment and its infinite possibilities of creation.
Thus we break free from the past, and free to fulfill the Purpose for which God put us on this earth.
