What's the MOST important moment in your life? The most important in my life or; for that matter, anyone's life? I'll give you a clue: whatever it is, it won't be found in your past nor future. The most important, valuable and powerful moment any of us possess is the NOW moment commonly referred to as the present.
How very fitting NOW is known as the present, because it could carry no better name indicative of the priceless quality of its character; literally the gift that keeps on giving. Consider how we may never know with absolute certainty what will or will not happen in the future because technically, the future has yet to take place. If something hasn't transpired yet, it cannot exist in certainty...at best, we may only consider it a probability; one of an infinite number of potential probabilities...or, for the sake of this discussion, one of an infinite number of probable futures.
This arrangement actually works well in our favor because while we can never be absolutely certain of what the future holds, it does mean the probabilities NOW may morph into are infinite. At any given moment we find ourselves on the leading edge of creation pushing forward into the ever-expanding richness of infinite, unlimited possibility!
If the future is basically unknown because it hasn't yet transpired and the past is already over and set in history, what distinguishes the present as our the moment of power? Foremost, its the only place we can find consciousness. It's easy to project consciousness out into the future, but that's all it is...projection (into which future, which probability)? Likewise, there is no consciousness to be found in the past, at best, only memories of conscious moments.
All consciousness is here in the present, generating from present moment to present moment, the leading edge of creation, the infinite expansion of the universe continuing on and on.
The moment of truth, for each and every one of us, is NOW. Although who can really know whether this NOW moment is the same NOW for everyone everywhere. In NOW, all consciousness resides; in NOW we discover all power and action because all consciousness, power and action are products of choice. The secret hidden in the present is that it is the only place where choice is possible; and choice is the defining consideration that sets in motion all the machinery of our realities. If the present moment is the barrel of the gun, choice is the scope on top that aims it on target.
