Know thy history

“That who controls the present controls the past, that who controls the past controls the future” – 1984 by George Orwell

He was telling about how the BIG Brother was rewriting history in order to create whatever future he wanted. Doing it simply – destroying the old documents and creating new ones. The Party was the one who invented everything: the plane, the oil, the chemistry, all the science there was, all the evolution there was to see ; a the gift to you received from The Party. You were starting to believe The Party has always been here, the wars were made by them and won by them. The war was since forever and it would continue forever as only war justifies any actions taken by the power. The Party would become the History, and then if the Past was created by the will of the Party, the present is Controlled by The Party what other expectation can we have other than to believe that naturally The Party will last forever.

We are both our divine spark and the history that we learn, at least at the level of evolution we are now. This history is the vault that holds the gathered information and it’s shaping our destiny thru the concepts and truths that it reveals.

I say to myself:

a) Know thy past, for history cannot be other than progression accelerating on the steam of new discoveries. Without your past it will be harder to create a better future, for whatever light and beauty has already been brought to this world will be lost … off course our ways must change as we have changed and evolved, but there is so much greatness in the past that it should be stupid to consider that all should be abandoned.

b) Understand, accept and integrate the Global Culture for we are must be one in order to establish planetary balance but learn also your own culture. Learn the arts most of all, from your family, from your area, from your country. This is the piece of puzzle that you are completing to the big global culture. You are the only one that can do it, French cannot speak the best for German culture without Germans keeping their arts this will be lost they understand and they do it. But what if you are from Romania and you look up to everybody and less to your country, remember culture is different than science and social development. You can have the same technology, the same lows, the same social and economic advanced society but cannot have limited culture. The beauty of the culture stands in it’s diversity, there is no better culture from the point of view of arts it is just different. You are the only one that can bring your peoples arts to the world, nobody else can and if you don’t we all will have a poorer soul.

c) Be careful to false prophets and story tellers, although it is fun it is also dangerous. Rewriting history by making it more heroic can seem like a solution, as new generations will have a better start than the ugly truth. If we were heroes in the past it may be that we have a better chance to be heroes in the present and the future will more likely be populated with heroes. But now you are not a child anymore, you must be strong enough to be hero now not because of your past but because of your children future. If you succeed, then for real they will have a better past to build on!

There biggest danger in believing into a heroic past is that we will not learn from the mistakes that our ancestors made and there will be a bigger chance to repeat them in the future. Be strong and accept that we have not yet reached perfection, out History and our Present are the painful proofs but also our History will teach you the mistakes we made and will present you the real heroes, normal human beings striving with their own limited power to make a better world.
