Spanish philosopher George Santayana is credited with the aphorism, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” One of the hallmarks of human consciousness disconnection, is the lost faculty of simply remembering the past, past lives, and having unfiltered access to the akashic records. As a result, the study of history has become more a guessing game than an authentic survey of the past. Yet, even with all its misinformation and dead ends, it still impresses the wise as one of the more important undertakings an ambitious champion of the light can pursue. What is Creator’s perspective?

Understanding the past and appreciating what it all means is, indeed, of the greatest importance because "the past is prologue," it is the springboard for everything new that takes place, it is the foundation from which you redirect your life in some new way, if only going about your routine, but allowing things to intervene and bring new opportunities or perhaps a reward along the way for the effort expended in carrying out that routine, whatever it might be. Your knowledge base and your discernment you develop through encountering all that happens and reacting to it and learning what works, and will not work, to make things better in some regard provides the teaching mechanism for you to proceed on a soul journey for the purpose of acquiring new knowledge and new skills as well. That knowledge is a mixture of personal experience and the learning obtained by many, many others and shared, not only through personal interaction but more commonly through written accounts in historical records of what has gone on before and what it was believed to mean by society as a whole. This is the job of the historian, to reckon with world events and assign a broader interpretation and overall meaning, and hopefully attending to the details with reasonable accuracy to provide an honest account of what took place with as little personal reinterpretation as possible. Because humans are imperfect, anything done by humans will be imperfect, and this includes recording history as well. This is why there may be differing accounts, and sometimes wildly differing accounts, of historical events and their meaning. This is very instructive because it proves what we are telling you, that humans are not reliable observers or representatives of the truth of things because they may be highly biased by personal interests and their individual makeup, and will inevitably reinterpret things and become a kind of filter distorting reality in the process. This is unavoidable so the historians, being human, will never give a perfect accounting but it is all one has when you are unable to speak to the divine directly, to learn the divine truth behind things.
