My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.
Everything I know of the world is shaped by an experience of the past. Therefore, without even realizing it I project past experiences upon the things I see instead of seeing them for what they are.
Because all my thoughts are based on events of the past, being preoccupied with them is a waste of time. The past no longer exists. It exists in my mind only when I am preoccupied with it. And when I am preoccupied with the past, I no longer live in the present...which also means I am blocking myself from seeing Truth.
Every time I am preoccupied with the past or worried about the future, I am essentially at a stand still. My mind may be busy, but there is no new knowledge nor is there personal growth. Ironically, only when my mind is devoid of thoughts can I see clearly and receive new ideas and experiences, eventually leading to personal growth.
Neither past nor future is real...except in the minds of its creator.
