How to Deal with Past Lives

In the process to achieve the objectives in our life, we face obstacle. The obstacle is supposed to be something in front of us, which blocks our way to achieve our objectives. However, something behind us, namely bad experience in past life, makes us difficult to do the next steps in realizing our dream and becomes burden to us. It can be painful memory, broken heart, hate, disappointment, sadness or other bad feeling, which can drain our energy and make us depressed. It can create bad inner talk, which can sabotage our mind.

We should be aware that the real obstacle is supposed to be something in front of us, instead of something behind us. We do not need to erase the memory of the past because it is part of our history. The good points, such as good personality development and condition, which we have now, are developed by learning process in our past life. However,  our present feeling, sentiment, and sensation about the past bad experiences must not be the sad state of mind anymore. Bad experience in our past life should not make us depressed anymore. “Don’t look at nor visualize your feces after you defecate!” They are disgusting and can make you vomit.

So, what should we do when the bad feeling of past life becomes burden to our mind?
