Living in the Past |
Sure, there may be benefits to going back and re-reading a post from the past. Maybe things read different later in a different state of mind and it's awesome to see yourself change through the portal of having a new perception to an old post.
Here's a drawback though. Where's the fresh start?
Does anybody remember the fresh start? Remember picking up and leaving town, going somewhere new and starting over? In a virtual world, it's even easier. Every quarter, every three months, delete all threads and start fresh with a clean board.
Why be attached to the past. We remake ourselves in the real world and online is a reflection of who we are in the real world.
If Rama were alive, do you think he would archive and hang onto years of posts, let alone make them searchable through google by taking certain ones and putting them outside the password barrier?
Where is the respect to the individual poster on here who wishes to be in the moment, not to have their words immortalized forever in a virtual access point for the whole world? What ever happened to being a mystic or being inaccessible?
If a post is beautiful, it's that much more beautiful if it has a lifespan and dies shortly thereafter, like a flower in full bloom which dies and makes way for a new flower.
This study is about enlightenment. Enlightenment is always new and fresh and different. Is this board to be a reflection of enlightened mind or a reflection of human mind? Only the human mind remains attached to the old and clings to the past.
Read me. Consider me. Integrate me. Delete me. Forget me. |
