memories plagued you? Have you found yourself lost in the

unchangeable past wishing things to be different?What does Baskalo

mean to you?

Dear Brian,

 

What an interesting question, and thank you for sharing your personal

thoughts about Baskalo. I am periodically plagued by memories of my

past, sometimes of my childhood, sometimes vague memories which

frighten me and, sometimes, because of memories of my own past

mistaken behavior and its affect on others, I become very miserable.

I don't believe, however, that guilt helps at all, nor does fear. I

am still learning the way through the tangled net of my memories, but

I believe what Dr. Phil (a tv psychologist) says: "yesterday is gone;

tomorrow hasn't happened yet; all that exists is the present." Shanti
