so why keep the focus on our past still?



not always, but when you get into a situation not to know what to do, you shouldn't concentrate on what to do, but what did you do.

The gained experience will (mostly) still be there, even if only in our subconscious



of course it is. In a way, it's still a visual, when we think about it. When we don't we have the past experience in it, and can so use it, without further "visible" thinking. As visible, I mean we don't conciously think, but in our backbone (or what it is again..) we have the orders ready to be processed.
