No one recognizes the power of the past.
But if you think about it, the past has always been
more important than the present.
The present is like a coral island that sticks above the water,
but is built upon millions of dead corals under the surface,
that no one sees.
In the same way, our everyday world is built upon millions
and millions of events and decisions that occurred in the past.
And what we add in the present is trivial.
A teenager has breakfast, then goes to the store to buy
the latest CD of a new band.
The kid thinks he lives in a modern moment.
But who has defined what a 'band' is?
Who has defined a 'store?'
Who defined a 'teenager?'
Or 'breakfast'?
To say nothing of all the rest, the kid's entire social setting,
family, school, clothing, transportation and government.
None of this has been decided in the present.
Most of it was decided hundreds of years ago.
Five hundred years, a thousand years.
This kid is sitting on top of a mountain that is the past.
And he never notices it.
He is ruled by what he never sees, never thinks about, doesn't know.
It is a form of coercion that is accepted without question.
The same kid is skeptical of other forms of control -
parental restrictions,
commercial messages,
government laws.
But the invisible rule of the past,
which decides nearly everything in his life,
goes unquestioned.
The law of impermanence says
that every person reading this will be dead
in 100 years ..
Yet, what you think, what you say, what you write
lives on .. as an electromagnetic vibration .. in all
dimensions of the time/space continuum ..
of which the single cell in the body is the microcosm
of the Universal Macrocosm.
As Above - So Below ...
