The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
The New Year brings new choices The end of the year is here. What do you desire for 2020? For far too many people I know, 2019 was an awful year. Whether it was deeply personal matters, health issues, family problems, or the impact of the numerous awful actions on the part of the government, this year was rough. We are about to hit 2020, a year that brings us to the beginning of a new decade. Also, you’re going
Have a happy holiday. Whatever you celebrate – or don’t – have a good day! This time of year is overwhelmed by holidays. Lots of people celebrate something, be it Christmas, Yule, Hanukkah, A’phabet Day (or No “L” Day), Grav Mass Day, or what-have-you. There are also people who celebrate nothing at all. Whatever the case may be for you, I want to wish you a Happy Holiday. And even if you celebrate nothing at all, have a good day.
When you look for fault you will find it because you expect it. This weekend, The Rise of Skywalker came out. The 3rd movie of the 3rd Star Wars trilogy had a lot to live up to, and for many of us, it did. Is it perfect? No. Does it live up to the spirit of the series? Hell yes. Many of my friends have seen it, and the vast majority agree it was a fun movie, worthy of the
Do no harm. When you are walking whatever path you choose it should have no intentionally negative impact on anyone else. Whatever paths you walk in life, you need to be mindful to do no harm. Truthfully, this should be easy. Unfortunately, a lot of the examples of “success” that you see come with a deep, false narrative. This includes notions of shoving people out of the way (literally and figuratively); getting past, around, over, and through other people; “taking”
The Positive Aspects of Nostalgia: Mindfulness will show you if your feelings are for a real memory or an idealization of the past. One of my fondest memories of my childhood is Star Wars. I was five years old the first time my parents took me to see this movie. Though I cannot entirely recall the experience, I do know that as I watched that ship (the Tantive IV, FYI) come soaring across the screen, as if from over our
Spirituality is personal. More often than not this is about faith and belief in yourself. Who I am is unique to me. I am a lot of things, depending on whom I am presenting myself to and what I am doing. But when all is said and done I am the one and only me. You are unique to you. You are a lot of things, depending on who you are presenting yourself to and what you are doing. But
Communication is the key. When you have a problem with someone, you ultimately have the ability to address them about the issue. We human beings are gifted with a myriad of means to communicate. We can talk, text, use hand gestures and body language, and even a combination of most of these to express ourselves to one another. You can tell people things they did not know, or help them to understand your point of view. Or you can choose
I’m not an expert and that’s not a bad thing because it means there is more room to experience, grow, and learn. I know some things. There are lessons I’ve learned, the experiences I have had, and discoveries I have made through education, life events, and just observing the world around me. Over time I have developed a certain level of competence and confidence. With that confidence, it came to me to share. Why share? Because I believe that many
The quality of the traveling companions you choose can impact your life in many positive ways. This weekend I embarked on an absolutely epic roadtrip. I and three of my companions drove over 14 hours to Nova Scotia, Canada – and back. There was music, conversation, laughter, and a generally fun atmosphere throughout the long drive, and it was totally amazing. The traveling companions you choose can make all the difference between an okay time and one that is incredibly
Why choose any path at all? You always get to decide things, whether consciously or subconsciously. Doing so consciously gives you influence and control. There is no reason that you need to choose a path in life. You can simply go about your day-to-day activities, and let life happen. This might make you perfectly content. You may enjoy what life has to offer, and the adventure of your life may be ongoing and already acceptable to you. If that’s how
