This is what causes us to be so comfortable “living in the past” because we’ve already experienced pain, we’ve already experienced some kind of heartbreak, some kind of sickness, some kind of disease, and we’ve got an image of it and we’ve already been through it, so mentally, we tell ourselves: “Ok, we’ve experienced it so we’re going to survive.”
So, at the root cause, or the root of all these images is this fear of losing our life; this fear of death, which is the foundation of this three-dimensions (this world’s system).
