Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
But here we are. Welcome to Pathwalking 600. Just before New Year’s Eve at the end of 2011, I decided that rather than make a flabby, easily ignored, or disregarded resolution – instead, I’d take a New Year’s Action. That action would be to blog at least once a week, every week. Pathwalking was born. My life philosophy would be placed on Wednesdays, and I would write a new article and post it every week. That was now just over
Actions don’t just speak louder than words – they move and change everything. New Year’s Eve is almost upon us. Besides various forms of celebration people participate in around the world – lots of people make New Year’s Resolutions. They resolve to go to the gym more, quit smoking, eat fewer carbs, spend less time surfing social media, and other similar notions. But there is a major problem with resolution. It’s rather impotent. How do I mean? Let’s begin by
Problems or solutions – the choice for what you see is yours. It is all too easy to see problems in the world. Spend any time whatsoever online and you’ll be bombarded by problems. Financial issues, pandemic issues, politicians being terrible, good people suffering due to bad people, and so on. Problems are everywhere – you hardly need to look for them. Yet most people do. A great deal of our conditioning is problem-based and problem-oriented. Problem-solving, for example, sounds
Renewal is frequently the theme for people at the start of the new year. While change is constant and inevitable, we frequently resist it. One exception for this, however, is New Years’ Eve. Many people formulate a New Years’ Resolution. They resolve to change something in their life. Frequently, this is diet or exercise related. They look to a change they want to make, and attach it to the fresh year. Resolutions are not much of a commitment. It’s thought
How do I know if I am on the right path? This is probably the most basic, yet most challenging question to ask. The answer is both amazingly simple, and yet fairly complicated. Pathwalking is making choices about living life, in order to work to consciously create our personal reality as we want it to be. Rather than simply going along with life and letting whatever happens, happen; as we walk our chosen paths we strive to be present and
Pathwalking can be fraught with many challenges. I long ago came to believe that nothing worth having is ever easy. But there is a difference between challenge and struggle. Challenge involves growth and proactive change, while struggle is stagnation and reactive change. Challenge is deciding to change, while struggle is forced. Many of the challenges in Pathwalking are due to outside influences, some which we can control and some which we cannot. Recognizing this is the first step towards working
You are in control of more than you believe yourself to be. This can be a particularly difficult concept to believe, but that doesn’t lessen the truth of it. You are in control over how you think, how you feel, and how you act. I know that sometimes it feels like that control is really, really limited. Truth is, however, that the only limitations are those that you yourself place. Otherwise, you have far more power and capability to change
Intention is the reality of control. When you take an intentional action, you have a purpose, and are not just doing some thing for the sake of doing the thing. Intent means there is a plan to gain something from the action taken. I have been writing more or less since I began Pathwalking that one of the main reasons to walk one’s own path is to take control of your own destiny. I want to create a unique, interesting
Balancing living in the now with our overall perception of time is an interesting challenge. As I concluded last week, I have been thoroughly indoctrinated into the societal obsession with time, and my work to withdraw from that perception is a challenge. But because I desire to consciously create the reality I most want to have, I am doing anything and everything I can think of to more regularly live in the here and now. What tools do I have
Finding the balance between living in the now and setting goals for the future is uniquely challenging. Pathwalking is about taking control of your destiny, and making choices along the path of life to manifest what you want from it. This is not just living life come-what-may, like so many people do, but instead making decisions, making choices about raising your vibrational energy, and manifesting a life you want to live. Why bother? Because I don’t know about you, but
