“Imprints of the Past”
“Emotions, experienced over the course of the present and many past lifetimes, leave imprints, some shallow and some traumatically deep, on the tissues of the human soul. For example, people bring into life a thousand different types of unwarranted fear. They experience loneliness, anger, hatred, jealousy, envy, and other emotions in response to the number of clouds in the sky, to a habit of speech, a bodily shape, or a person’s posture or gesticulation. Those who aspire to Happiness must undertake to release these imprints, to essentially unlearn the counter-evolutionary lessons they represent. Otherwise, one will continue to repeat the same apparently instinctive patterns of dysfunction again and again.”
