Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Anticipation can be a double-edged sword. One the one hand, it can be exciting, full of thrill and unknown wonder. On the other hand, it can be nerve-wracking, full of dread and unknown horror. Anticipation is an emotional response to a situation ahead of us. As such, like all the other emotions we can feel, we can determine HOW this will feel. Pathwalking is about choosing for ourselves our own, individual way. It is living life to the fullest, making
Why are you on this path? The path you are on, right now, as you read this, why are you on it? Did you choose this path for yourself? Did someone else choose it for you? Did you stumble upon this path, or was there effort and conscious direction when you decided to travel upon it? I have probably asked all of these questions before. If they are being repeated, that is because they are so deeply important. If you
How do you get back to the path if you have begun to backtrack, and why is that important? As mentioned previously, if you have chosen to walk your path, you have chosen to accept control over change. You are choosing how you will live your life, and as such how you make changes.

Doubling back might imply backtracking, but that is not the case. This notion of backtracking is making a leap from where you are on the path now to a previous point. I’m not talking about switching from one path to another, I am talking about taking a pronounced leap backwards, to
Independence is one of the primary reasons to walk one’s own path. The best definition from Dictionary.com for independence is freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like, of others. This is one of the main reasons to choose to walk our own path. We want to be free, we want to be independent, we want to ultimately be in control of our own fate, our own destiny. Sometimes winning that independence is easy. But sometimes it is
Who am I? I have been asking myself this question since I was fairly young. And the answer has constantly changed. In elementary school, I was the teacher’s pet. I was more-or-less a straight ‘A’ student (except my elementary school didn’t use this grading scale) and did extra projects, worked for extra credit and LOVED school. I was an outsider, though. This was never more evident than amongst the other kids at Hebrew school, and in the local Jewish community
How can I make a difference? This question comes up for me fairly often. I want to help other people see the world in the way that I see it. NOT in a ‘my way is the one true way’ idea at all. On the contrary – I want people to disagree with me. I want them to consider these words, and reject them if they disagree. I want them to think, to consider, to ponder their own view on
