The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
We go on. The world turns, and things happen out there which we have little to no control over. It’s easy to get caught up in politics, wars, social injustices, celebrities, and all sorts of other matters that we are not much more than voyeurs of. Yet we personalize these matters, let them affect our everyday lives, and often allow them to dominate our consciousness. It is important to be informed, and it’s a good idea to know what is
All are created equal. Men, women, black, white, heterosexual, homosexual, American, Russian, Chinese, Jewish, Catholic, transgendered…what have you, we are all created equal. Beneath the meat sacks we are running around the planet in, we are the same. We are all creatures of energy, when you get to our very core. The suits we wear to encounter the world differ, and our likes and dislikes may vary, but when all is said and done we are all equal. Martin Luther
Life is full to overflowing of little things. These little things are day-to-day items, occurrences, people, places and things that build up positivity. They are many, they are varied, and all too often they are taken for granted. The little things are things that bring us moments of contentment, of joy, of peace. They make us focus on the moment, forget the overarching world situation. They are of far more power and import than we realize, and they can help
What do you expect for the New Year? Expectation is a reflection of your mindset, whether positive or negative. If you are expecting good, exciting, fun and awesome things, you’re thinking positively. If you are expecting bad, depressing, bothersome, terrible things, you are thinking negatively. If consciousness creates reality, and I firmly believe that it does, then expectation of positives needs to be empowered more than that of negatives. I don’t want to create a world of terror, failure, misery
We are all one. I’ve said it before, I’ve written it before, but it bears repeating. We are all one. We are all composed first and foremost of energy. Energy, which can neither be created nor destroyed, just transmuted from form to form. Beneath the skins of so many colors, under the genders we claim for ourselves, we are all made of exactly the same stuff. We are all one. This time of year for some is hugely joyous, while
I know that this time of year can be rough for many. For those of you struggling, I want you to know that you are NOT alone. We are all in this together. Each of us finds highs and lows with this season, but I recognize for many it’s particularly unpleasant. For those of you who feel that way, please know that you are not on your own. I know what it feels like to be depressed, sad, lonely and
While it’s important to focus on the here-and-now, and not get caught up in memories of yesterday and plans for tomorrow, it is also important to remain creative and imaginative. Creativity and imagination are the things that most set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Unlike the rest of the creatures crawling, swimming and flying around this planet, we have deep, incredible, miraculous powers of creativity. Sure, birds build nests and beavers construct elaborate damns that can
Some days just getting out of bed is a challenge. Those days often require motivation. Finding motivators is an enormous positive. Motivators help us to quit bad habits, start and maintain good habits, and make positive changes in our lives. Motivation can come from any number of places, both within and without. This is one place where outside influences are often to your advance, rather than against it. Self-motivation can be challenging. Simply setting a goal, like quitting smoking or
Sometimes the most positive thing to face is that we are here. We are alive. We are breathing. We have endless possibilities ahead of us for the day. In the face of a whole lot of insanity from outside influences, the holiday season, or you may be experiencing Seasonal Affective Disorder; finding and maintaining positivity can be a particularly challenging idea. It may seem trite, but just being alive is a huge plus. You are breathing. You have the ability
Like a lot of people I know, I have many concerns about the future. Long buried ugliness has boiled back to the surface. After decades of progress in equality and fairness no matter your race, creed or color…the lunatic fringe is feeling re-empowered to attempt to be dominant once again. They may have gained a voice in politics and will work to alter public policy…but we can make all of their efforts a struggle. They are NOT in the majority,
