4/6 RISK AND LIBERATION

A moment jumps out at number 4; a fleeting instant on the flow of time.  Being in the moment is not just about the present time; it hovers on the edge of the future.  Now has a direction and it is always forwards.  If you could hold this awareness, you would be liberated from your past, ready to catch each opportunity that life has to offer.  A moment can so easily pass you by; blink, and it's gone.  Whether it shocks you into awareness or gently awakens your consciousness, seize the moment and unwrap the miracle it holds.

Only a rare being could claim to live moment by moment, but the orientation is there for all of us.  When you're fully present in the moment, you're not concerned with what has happened in the past, or who did what to whom and why, but totally receptive to receive everything that you meet.  Messages arrive in extraordinary and unexpected guises, and when your senses are alert and tuned into the frequency of now, you can respond with all of your being.  Use the time, don't let time use you; train yourself to live in the moment, for time waits for no one.

A moment of reality opens out when you're put on the spot, and for a split second, the layers of programmed response are stripped away.  It may be a sudden crisis, an overwhelming feeling of love or a traumatic jolt, but whatever it is, you can be paralysed in that moment for years, or totally liberated right there and then.
