Is it Healthy to live in memories?


We all have a tendency to live in old memories especially if they are good memories. But is it healthy?

One of my favorite writers, Osho has a clear answer to this





Your memory is not you. You are consciousness, memory is content. But memory is the whole life energy of the ego. Memory is of course old, and it is afraid of the new. The new may be disturbing, the new may be such that it may not be digestible. The new may bring some trouble. You will have to shift and reshift yourself. You will have to readjust yourself. That seems arduous.

To be new one needs to become disidentified with the ego. Once you are disidentified with the ego you don't care whether it dies or lives.

Just that death of the ego, that makes one alive. To die in the ego is to be born into 'being'.





When the New Knocks on Your Door, Open It!
