Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
The process is how you achieve a given goal. I’ve been postulating for a while now that the Meaning of Life is this: TO LIVE. That means to experience all that life has to offer, take an active interest in who, what, where, how, and why you are, and make choices and decisions to drive your experiences. The more I analyze and explore this idea, the more I’m convinced that TO LIVE is the Meaning of Life. The grand and
The narrative around “the other” is a bullshit concept. Everyone has bad days. Everyone. All the people you know and don’t know experience shit happening. Nobody on the entire planet lives a life free of pain, challenges, and/or suffering. Nobody. Human beings are unique animals. That’s largely because we can create things that allow us to overcome the environment, limitations of distance, communications, and all sorts of other matters that no other animal can overcome. Whatever you’re reading this on
Sleepers aren’t necessarily dreamers and are never doers. I know people who have lucid, involved, detailed dreams. They tell me about crazy happenings they experience when they sleep. I rarely remember my dreams. Once in a very great while, something lingers from my sleep, but more often than not, dreams elude me. Over the past decade-plus, this idea has come into the collective consciousness where being “woke” is somehow a bad thing. What does that even mean? People use the
This is the key to less stress and more empowerment. Many of the ideas in the collective consciousness of the world today are centered around disruption. Lots of people talk about disrupting this, that, or the other thing. Interrupt the pattern, change the status quo, alter the conversation, and the like. Because change is inevitable, and the one and only constant in the Universe, recognizing, acknowledging, and even embracing this idea of disruption can do some amazing things. However, it
I’ll be someone else tomorrow. Driving with friends to a fencing practice more than three hours away, as we talked about the usual people and things in our lives, certain thoughts arose. Things that used to bother me, upset me, or otherwise set me off just don’t anymore. This is not a bad thing, because who I am today is not who I was yesterday. Giving this consideration and thinking about all the work I’ve done to become the person
You’re the only one in your head, heart, and soul. Certain things are true for everyone. Every single person on Planet Earth, in one form or another, wakes up, has a day, goes to sleep, and repeats the next day. Yes, some people sleep for only short spans while others get hours. Some people’s “day” is other people’s “night.” Yet everybody has a time when they are awake, not asleep, and moving through their life. This is where variations begin.
Tomorrow might not be your day, either. Yet you’re always empowered. Have you ever started your day excited, enthusiastic, and optimistic? You woke up feeling refreshed, invigorated, and ready to tackle the world? That would be amazing, right? I’ve been writing about this life philosophy, Pathwalking, for 13.4 years. Six hundred and ninety-six weeks in a row, without fail. For all that time, I’ve been refining my understanding and approach to conscious reality creation, mindfulness, positivity, and making choices and
The challenges of living in a quick-fix society. The upside and downside of today’s world is its speed. What took several minutes a century ago is virtually instantaneous now. Food that took hours to cook can be made in minutes. The convenience is astonishing. However, it has also devastated attention spans. People used to accept that things took time way more readily than we do now. We want it instantly, as soon as possible – if not sooner. What’s more,
How do you define too much information? I’m mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausted. It takes a lot of energy to reclaim my balance these days. Why? Because I care about the world I live in. It matters to me that our so-called leaders are doing so many hateful, unhinged, harmful things to people, places, and things. Reading about the latest injustice, the unnecessary cruelty, and the utter uncaring is a lot. It’s all too easy to get dragged in deeper
Be outraged, but be mindful of what that means. There is some absolutely bizarre shit happening in the world today. Between the utterly messed up political machine in the US, the Russian oligarchy and Putin, and the ongoing Israel/Palestine debacle, it feels like all reason and sanity have left the building. And maybe it has. Rational, reasonable, multifaceted debate has given way to loud, opinionated, factless shouting. Civil discourse has been replaced by baseless, repetitious, utterly false jingoism and worse.
