Follow Up

So, as individual people, do we allow the past to condition the present? Are we perpetuating an image, a memory and labeling it 'me?' If so, the so-called persona of a human being is re-created, from moment to moment, by bringing the past and injecting it into this moment. What happens if that stops, or if we notice this psychological action - just for a moment?

Imagine what implications this would have on a sociologist or a psychologist attempting to describe the nature of a human being, and why he or she acts in a particular way. As a scientist, an inquisitor and an explorer, why isn't this one of the very first things that we are encouraged to engage?
