This is quite true, as I have found with my own experience. I understand that who we are today is a result of our past, but why does it seem we sometimes cling to it? Why is letting go so hard? Certainly I have learned to be at peace with my past, but how do you go about releasing it, or would being at peace with it be the same type of thing? (I hope I'm not making something very simple - complicated) Does it have anything to do with K? I also wanted to add that I liked your story, a very good example of why history is so important, what would we do (afterall) with out it.

Karmic patterns that are not recognised and released, will continue
repeating until they have been cleared. The past only exists, in memory but
some of those memories are emotional, blocked energy of karma that
interfere with the flow in the Now. We carry our history into the now, in
our bodies. If we do not learn/release the past then history is doomed to
repeat itself. Simply trying to forget the past doesn't work. It just
represses it, so the karma comes up stronger.
Comes to mind an event, back in hairstyling school... I did a perm on a
woman with an unusual disability. Undiagnosed diabetes had taken her long
term memory. She could remember most of her life before the brain damage,
and so retained basic skills, but since then she could not remember
anything for more than two minutes, and her one connection to the past from
one moment to the next, was notes she wrote to herself about what she
wanted... and the support of her mother.
She had a note about how she wanted her hair, and we consulted and she
agreed to do something a bit different because her hair type was not suited
to the style she wanted. Too damaged, or something. Cannot remember.
By the time the work was done she had forgotten she had changed her
mind... I guess I should have had her put it in writing. ;) Update the
note. She was crying victim to her mother, saying I had not done as she
asked. Her mother had not been present when she changed her mind, and went
complaining to the teachers saying I had taken advantage of a disabled
person. I kind of felt like a disabled person had taken advantage of me.
With no memory of the moment before, she took no responsibility for her
choices. I had no experience of dealing with someone like that, but it
remained in mind as an interesting example of the value in having history.
Blessings.
