Who you are is always a more vital teaching and a more powerful transformer than what you say and more essential even than what you do.
You cannot truly forgive yourself or others as long as you derive your sense of self from the past. Only through accessing the Power of Now, which is your own power, can there be true forgiveness. This renders the past powerless, and you realize deeply that nothing you ever did or that was done to you could touch even in the slightest the radiant essence of who you are. The whole concept of forgiveness then becomes unneccessary.
Eckhart Tolle Quote A New Earth
You don't become good by trying to be good, but by finding the goodness within you.
~ from Oprah's broadcast of A New Earth
You can undo years of conditioning by simply being in the present moment. The present moment is the point o power. Try to find this point of power as often as possible in your daily life.
Asking yourself, "Am I still breathing?" moves the attention from thinking to feeling to being. This helps you to enter the state of presence.

Identification with your mind creates an opaque screen of concepts, labels, images, words, judgments, and definitions that blocks all true relationship. It comes between you and yourself, between you and your fellow man and woman, between you and nature, between you and God. It is this screen of thought that creates the illusion of separateness, the illusion that there is you and a totally separate other. You then forget the essential fact that, underneath the
level of physical appearances and separate forms, you are one with all that is.
Many expressions that are in common usage, and sometimes the structure of language itself, reveal the fact that people don't know who they are. You say: "He lost his life" or "my life," as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don't have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
~ Eckhart Tolle Quotes
So be true to life by being true to your inner purpose. As you become present and thereby total in what you do, your actions become charged with spiritual power.
Being is not only beyond but also deep within every form as its innermost invisible and indestructible essence. This means that it is accessible to you know as your own deepest self, your true nature. But don't seek to grasp it with your mind. Don't try to understand it. You can only when the mind is still. When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now. Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally. To regain awareness of Being and to abide in that state of "feeling-realization" is enlightenment.
Life will give you whatever experience is most helpful for the evolution of your consciousness. How do you know this is the experience you need? Because this is the experience you are having at this moment.
~ Eckhart Tolle Quotes
Once you have made peace with the present moment, see what happens, what you can do or choose to do, or rather what life does through you. There are three words that convey the secret of the art of living, the secret of all success and happiness: One with Life. Being one with life is being one with Now. You then realize that you don't live your life, but life lives you. Life is the dancer and you are the dance."
The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being. It is a state of connectedness with something immeasurable and indestructible, something that, almost paradoxically, is essentially you and yet is much greater than you. It is finding your true nature beyond name and form.
