There are numerous ways in which we give away, lose, or are stolen from energetically, psychically, physically, and temporally in this linear world. We choose the ways in which to spend our precious limited number of moments, minutes, hours, days, and years exploring life and allowing things to unfold. But if we live unconscious and unaware, never present and never noticing what can be autonomic and automatic, time is literally stolen from us; those who are aware of and consciously manipulating the strings profit from our squandered talents and abilities.
