Description

Changing the past
Changing the past, you say that doesn't work, I say that it is very possible.
How to change the past you ask? What has passed is subject to our evaluation, was it a "beautiful" time, or was it "terrible"? That depends exclusively on our opinion, consideration and evaluation. Depending on how we classify the past time, how we decide today, so was the past.
We can change everything, re-evaluate, we are not bound to the conviction of yesterday and the day before yesterday, which is why preconceived judgments (prejudices) make our life difficult, give an immense boost to stupidity. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to constantly decide anew, for example, to choose new dishes every time in the supermarket, or to always reconsider the way "to clean". The answer, as most often, lies in the middle, which is why Buddha spoke of the "middle way."
Before you now completely re-evaluate all the events in your life, it is first important to know where the journey should go for you. The body usually knows better than the ratio about the true connections in your incarnation, let the important decisions be made by your true self, the mind wants, "thinks" and needs, the body "knows".
You say that life has not been good to you?
I tell you that this is not true! You alone determine whether you have had a "good" life. I tell you that you had and have a wonderful life, you are just too greedy, expect too much, that's why you suffer. Because reality does not (and did not) meet your expectations you are dissatisfied. Instead of embracing what is, enjoying what you have, instead you are complaining.
First, change your past, the way you look at what has gone before, then the fog will clear for you, I promise you.
Automatically, as a consequence, the present changes, and with it, necessarily, the future. We determine the world with our thoughts, the whole universe is in our influence. You do not believe that? Until just now you also did not believe that we can change the past.
You have so much power, so many things you can do, only you don't know anything about it (yet). We will change that, whoever reads the texts here will change.
Who follows the philosophy of Buddha knows that nothing is as it seems at first sight.
The way is the goal!
I had such form in a past
