I just got back from browsing The Social Media Source and was very impressed. This site is not only about effective marketing using social media, it’s about giving back, or as some say, paying it forward. You’ll find lots of like minded people there who you can join via Friend Connect a new app released by Google. Of course you may link up via Twitter, Facebook or any of your other favorite social sites. I’m really looking forward to getting to know this group much better. I suggest you stop by and give it a look.

We are largely unaware of the flow of ‘thoughts’ that run through our heads including those that guide most of our living actions. Let’s face it when it comes to breathing, seeing, hearing, touching and even tasting, these functions take place without our conscious participation. Life would be pretty difficult if we had to stop and think, “Okay heart, beat. Lungs, breathe. Blood keep pumping.” I know it’s silly but few of us ever stop to think about how much is going on behind the scenes.
It’s also interesting to note that most of our intentional behavior takes place without our conscious thought. We drive a car without really thinking about it. We tie our shoes because years ago we learned to perform this simple task. Let me ask you a question. How many times have you been dialing a phone number, caught yourself trying to consciously recall what the number was, and then been unable to remember it? Yet when you just punch in the numbers in a whir without any
conscious thought the numbers tumble right out of your mind, into your fingers and onto the phone! Come on, admit it. I bet you’ve done it. I know I have. Pretty amazing isn’t it?.
Another example of how our unconscious helps us is when you are trying to remember something. It may be the name of a song, where you left your car keys, what that guy’s name was from your first year in college or whatever. You try and try to bring it to mind but nothing happens. Then, maybe several hours or even days later, while you are brushing your teeth, shopping for groceries of sitting in a boring meeting — boom, the answer comes to you out of nowhere, like a bolt of lightning. This is because our unconscious stores everything. Every tiny piece of data we have ever encountered is stored in our unconscious mind. It’s sort of like a huge back up hard drive that never gets overwritten.
This is the level of consciousness we tap when we begin to use our psychic gifts. We will explore these concepts in greater detail in future posts. Right now any comments, musings, questions or other feedback are more than welcome.

A Review Of Your Moment of Power
Product Name: Your Moment of Power – Embrace The Opportunity and Transform Your Life
Writer: Timoth Aaron Whiston
Your Moment of Power is an excellent ebook about the power of living in the present moment. This is a familiar concept to most of us who are reading this review. However it’s a good bet that many of us have trouble with this practice or use it only inconsistently. After having read Your Moment of Power, I believe that this book will help reinforce your devotion to experiencing the now.
One of the great things about this book is the writing style. Tim writes in a very conversational, easy to understand manner. It’s as if you are sitting across the table with him chatting over a cup of coffee. This makes the concepts discussed in the book seem effortless instead of intimidating.
The ebook begins by stating the principle that time itself is an illusion. Yes, that is a very bold statement. And I can hear some of you saying, “But wait. I know I have to get up at 7:00. There are seven days in a week. It takes a long time to accomplish something.”
But think about it. We know that we create our own reality. We know that we are spiritual beings experiencing the material world. Therefore the constructs of “past” and “future” exist only within our ego self. Our Higher Self is limitless and eternal. Therefore we are always in the moment, right now, even if we are reminiscing about the past or daydreaming about the future.
Tim provides several very helpful mindfulness exercises which will assist the reader in staying in the present moment. Without giving too much away I will say that these exercises are very simple and easy to follow. They are also quite effective if practiced consistently. We must remember that we aren’t so much learning something new as we are remembering what is already there. It has always been there and will always be there.
Another topic discussed is letting go of judgment and embracing acceptance. This means no matter what you are experiencing just accept it. Right and wrong, good and bad, lucky and unlucky – these are all just human invented terms that do not exist anywhere except the ego. This is something I wish to go into in much greater detail so I will leave it at that for now.
Finally, the overarching message of this ebook is that there is great power in the now. You are a very powerful being whether you realize it or not. You can have anything you desire. You are the creator. In fact you are creating every moment even if it is unconsciously. So why not create a life you love? And yes, you CAN create the life of your dreams.
While I am sure you have read other books on these topics, the way that Tim presents them is very fresh and accessible. Those who are new to the concept will find an enlightening introduction that will pave the way to further study. Those of us who consider ourselves “old hats” will take away some choice tidbits for reflection.
Considering the price of this ebook, it is more than worth the purchase and you will find it a welcome and much read addition to your library. There is no such thing as too much learning. Think of this as another tool in your spiritual toolbox.
