“Guilt is the emotion that forces us into the past where life does not exist. The past is dead and therefore you’re not alive in this emotion. Guilt will make you ineffective in your efforts. You’re unable to give yourself forward to this moment.” “What does it mean, giving yourself forward?” I continue to question. “It means to forgive,” Palqtlo explains. “Forgiving what?” “Yourself.” “For what?” I ask. “For any moment in the past . . . it’s the ability to give yourself forward to the present moment from a past moment so that you can fully live in time . . . to be present in your presence.”
