The past does not exist unless it is remembered in the present; and by merely remembering it we are interpreting it (by omitting things we consider "irrelevant" or by rearranging /reshaping memories to make sense of them for us), thus keeping it alive and therefore not "past".

To me it means:
The past isn't over yet. We keep repeating it.
