There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.

The reason why the romantic love relationship is such an intense and universally sought-after experience is that it seems to offer liberation from a deep-seated state of fear, need, lack, and incompleteness that is part of the human condition in its unredeemed and unenlightened state.

You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.

Suppression of the feminine principal has enabled The Ego to gain absolute supremacy in the collective human psyche
