I have to ask:
So what do you want to do, tau? Re-read the past until it becomes our future? That is why they keep programming us with the Holocaust, after all. [No offense meant towards Jews...but remembering the PAST DOES PROGRAM US TO REPEAT IT!] As you are proving by your reminders. Okay, let us give ourselves some choices:
1. We could just listen to George Orwell, read the Bible and give up:
"His mind slid away into the labyrinthine world of doublethink. To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget, whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself – that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word "doublethink" involved the use of doublethink."
– George Orwell, 1984

2)...Or we could decide to give up our 'training wheels' instead and do something else: After all, If we haven't LONG ago gotten the wisdom out of the Books of Wisdom, then we are too late. We are at the stage now where the parent says wistfully: "He's just turned 16. All you can do, is sit back and hope for the best. Either he 'got it' or he 'didn't'".

Okay, so we didn't have the best 'parents', universal or otherwise. But so what? WE have Minds and Mind is a piece of EVERYTHING...a tiny bit of PFM! (Pure F...(you know) Magic) With just an ounce of Awareness, NOTHING is beyond us. Nothing! ...unless of course, we believe that it is...and then, of course, it becomes true...because we believed IT instead of KNOWING what our Magic could do...how sad.
Of course, in giving up our training wheels, we have to fly away from the cocoon of THEIR Social Structure (But we created that too, otherwise, what reason would we have to learn to fly?...ahhhhh) Can't be a butterfly with gunky old pieces of dead cocoon clinging to your lovely new wings, now can you? And that may 'seem' like it is painful, but not really. That old pair of shoes they were making us stuff our new souls in didn't fit anymore anyway!
Have I mixed my metaphors enough for you? ;-)
Smiles,
