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.

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.

At what time did humanity lose sight of our greatness and begin to buy into the idea that we are born “sinful”? When did people begin to believe that we are a race of wicked war-mongers bent on the destruction of ourselves, each other, and the world around us? And when did we accept the notion that physical existence is mechanistic and bland, offering no gateway to the spiritual greatness that truly surrounds all that is?

People still pay lip service to the idea that anything is possible and I honestly believe human consciousness is on the rise worldwide. But I still wonder where we got sidetracked in the first place.

Historically speaking it looks as if Egypt and Sumer were the beginning of the “we’re all scum please god forgive us movement”. It seems clear the shift of power into the hands of the priesthood was a big part of these eras.

But at what point did people become convinced there is no spirit world, nothing in the dark but shadows, and absolutely nothing real about anything in a child’s imagination? When did homo sapiens make the backslide into obtusity?

How is it possible that grown, intelligent men and women can seriously believe life exists only on planet Earth, nothing significant happens when the body dies, and everything wonderful is just a matter of fate and chance?

To be honest these rhetorical questions could be categorized. Am I on about organized religion or materialism, you might ask.

Frankly I see both polarities as cogs in the same broken wheel.

But on the positive side of things minds are opening once again worldwide. I suspect within the next 50 years acupuncture and crystal therapy will be accepted by mainstream medicine and presidential elections will be legitimate (as in ono-staged) events.

Our minds continue to evolve and the darkness of ignorance is being burned away by the rising dawn. Perhaps in time the memory of such follies as the dark ages and mechanistic science will be totally forgotten in the face of global (interstellar?) peace, prosperity, and enlightenment.
