Is Life Repeating Itself?

Is life repeating itself, or are we repeating ourselves?

As long as we hold on to ideas, these ideas will influence whatever we do and say, and so this attitude becomes our lot in life. We unwittingly reinforce this pattern, moment by moment, reincarnation by reincarnation. To break out, we have to be aware of this habitual pattern of seeing and hearing.

We each have four aspects: body, brain, mind and consciousness.
The body is our vehicle: evolutionary memories.
The brain is our hard drive: the grooves of experience.
The mind is our software: the memories of experience.
Consciousness is the operator: the pure essence of being.

When we are unaware of what we actually are – which is consciousness – we live on memories, just like AI programming.

The sentence for ignorance is to repeat the past.
The sentence for wisdom is release from the past.
