The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
There is a difference between being influenced by outside forces, and getting assistance from them. For some people this is not an easy distinction to make, but it’s a very important one. We are constantly surrounded by outside influences. Most of the social media sites are a part of this. They are striving for our attention, they want us to do and think and feel certain ways, which may or may not be compatible with what we REALLY want to
I frequently write about how we alone can control our thoughts, our feelings and our actions. Yes, they can be influenced by outside people and things, but they are still under our own direct control. Feelings in particular can be heavily influenced from without. Feelings are frequently reactions to stimuli, so much of the time it is the things outside of us that cause us to experience emotions. If someone compliments you, kisses you, smiles at you, invites you to
It’s unhealthy to ignore the outside world completely. We need to be aware of what is happening in the world. While there is something to be said for the bliss of ignorance, knowledge IS power. The problem is, it can be very hard to stay focused when you are inundated with a barrage of upsetting information. How do you find and maintain a happy medium between knowing what’s going on, and being completely drowned in data? The mistake I keep
I will do what I have to do when and if the time comes. In the meantime, I cannot live my life anticipating possibilities. In especial, focusing on worst-case scenarios. There’s a terrible idea – get fixated on awful, no good, scary things, and consciousness creates reality. We are now living in particularly uncertain times. We are witnessing an unprecedented situation in America due to our President-elect’s vast unpredictability, and his particularly vulgar, hate-spewing supporters (I am being specific here
What do you do when you reach a dead end on the path you’re traversing? This doesn’t happen too often, but from time to time you may find that the path you are on has not only forked, but actually ended unexpectedly. Why? How does a chosen path simply come to an end? The universe works in mysterious ways. You get laid off from the job where you were seeking that promotion; or you wreck your knee and need to
We are not in competition. I have written about this before, but given the monstrous, and seriously ugly, conclusion of the race for the Presidency, it bears repeating. We all got swept up into this thing. Whether because we read the news and supported or didn’t support a candidate, or if we were simply drawn into the current by unavoidable conversations, posts on social media, and so forth, we all found ourselves looking differently at one another. We found ourselves
There are always going to be days where it feels like it just does not matter. But they are a lie. It matters. YOU matter. I have those days when I get out of bed, and no matter how much sleep I have gotten I am still feeling totally wiped out. And no matter how much coffee I consume, I still feel like I would much rather crawl back into my nice warm bed and sleep more. Of course, this
It’s not that there always needs to be a fixed destination. Life is about the journey, after all, so it is certainly both logical and even necessary that from time to time you walk a path, but the goal is not wholly clear. Yes, it is important to have an idea, to have a plan. But sometimes there are days where you just are on the paths, walking along, and though you have an end goal in mind, it is
Consciousness creates reality. I write that a lot. Why? Because this is the truth. Consciousness creates our reality. What we concentrate on, give thought and feeling and energy and action to, we create. We manifest things into our life, and we build or destroy our personal world. I know that for a lot of people this seems like total BS. We live in a world that seems to be beyond our control. We didn’t manifest our debts, our illnesses, the
Decide to decide. I cannot tell you how many times in my life I have found myself at some crossroads or other because I refused to decide to decide. Decision making is only challenging if you choose for it to be so. For a lot of my life, I was the King of Indecision. I totally should have bought myself a crown. When I made the decision to take action for the New Year, nearly five years ago now, it
