You Are Not Who You Were
The person you were is not a sentence. You can put the past down.
The teaching
The person you were is not a sentence. You can put the past down. Shame about an old version of you is not truth about this moment. That person lives only in memory, and memory is not where you are.
Krishnamurti and James Allen: the past has no address. Eckhart Tolle: you are being created now. Identity built from a finished story is extra weight.
The guided close is a release of the old name. You are not who you were.
Who this is for
Watch this if you still punish a former self, or if a finished chapter is running your present as if it were still happening.
Questions this video answers
How do I let go of who I used to be?
See that the one you are ashamed of exists in memory, not in this room. Stop building identity from a story that is already over. Put down what you have outgrown.
What does Krishnamurti mean by the past having no address?
That psychological time is not a place you can visit. The past is a thought arising now. It has no house. You do not have to live there.
Is this denying what happened?
No. The teaching is about where you stand. What happened is not happening. You are being created now.
