If history is not important, you are not important. History cannot be separated from all the events that brought you into being and up to this point. All is history. You are participating in and making history every moment of every day. Everything is history. History is everything. You are history!
Everything in existence is the result of a chain of events. Consciousness must remain connected to this chain. If there is loss of connection, there is loss of consciousness. There is no reference or context to go by except what now exists. Everything becomes the new normal because that's all you are aware of.
Historical Memory
This does not have to be the case. The mind contains lots of memory storage space. Memory can only hold past information. That information is history. If you lose touch with your historical memory, you lose your mind. The result can only be thinking that causes you to lose your way. Where to go and how to get there is stored in memory in history.
Historical memory contains a record of failures and successes, weaknesses and strength and more. I''ll say it again. There is a history of failure and success. That history is contained in you. If you understand this history, you will understand failure and success and more.
Transform Destruction Into Reconstruction
History is truth. That truth is in you. To try to live separate from the truth of history in you is to try to separate self into uncountable pieces. This is self-destructive behavior.
This does not have to be the case. Since history is everywhere in everything and inside you, you cannot escape history so you might as well understand it. Since history, aka memory and truth, is already in you, all you have to do is help reconstruct the connections to that library of knowledge. Reconstruction is a process of knowledge of self, health and freedom which are the same things by different names. Reconstruction, as a solution, is entirely possible.
Having Second Thoughts
One reason you might claim to have a good case for trying to avoid history is if you are not proud of most of history. Another reason would be if most of history does not benefit today.
You can't escape history if you lie. Truth is the stronger force. You can't escape history when you die. History, which is truth, is eternal because the Spirit of Truth is eternal.
