Old Patterns, New
Responsibilities
The purpose in considering your whole history is to see
how that demand for attention, your need for love, the
acquisition of knowledge and the love of power and fame are
all coming from the same disposition. It comes from pattern
that already exists, it doesn’t originate in any specific
relationship. That is the value of being able to trace your
history.
By trying to manipulate your present situation either
internally or externally is not the solution because the
problem doesn’t arise in the present, the problem is simply
the continuation of habits, patterns of memory. Your present
situation is only a reflection of patterns repeated from
incidences of the past, frozen moments in time, repeating
themselves over and over again. So it wouldn’t make any
difference how you or anyone else or how the situation could
change and so forth. Your basic life pattern would still be
the same.
