The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
It’s okay that I don’t know – because it means I’ve something new to learn. Recently, I had a discussion with a friend about learning new things. In this instance, we were talking about a personal lesson regarding a mutual acquaintance. Said acquaintance, whom I only trust as far as I can throw (which isn’t far) did something hugely upsetting to my friend. It was behavior I’ve seen from that person before – so it came as no surprise to
Along any given path it’s easy to trip over how It’s been a decade since I began to seek, find, and walk my chosen path. This has occurred in fits and starts, with some success here and achievement there. But there is one hurdle, one obstacle that still tends to trip me up. How. Further, this gets complicated by walking the line of reality as it is now versus as it could be via conscious reality creation. I know where
Even though what I believe is true – I have the power to change it. I know more than one person struggling right now. Frankly, in multiple ways, I am struggling, too. The struggle is based on who I am now – versus – who I was and have been – versus – who I desire to be. When you have been applying certain beliefs, habits, and values for as long as you can remember – they seem unchangeable. They
What if it’s not success we truly seek in life – but satisfaction? I have been on multiple quests throughout my life. Along the way, I have sought a place to truly call home. Not just the location. The notion of home – where I am rooted and meant to be. Though still a bit vague – I have found that. I sought a career. There were many different job ideas that I pursued. Radio DJ, theatre, graphic arts, journalism,
When choosing your path, sometimes you reach a cliff it’s best not to fall off of. When you decide to take control over your destiny and walk a path of your choosing, there are many obstacles you’ll encounter along the way. Some will be external. People, places, things, and such – both tangible and intangible. They might be major obstacles and roadblocks, or minor. While outside of your control, how you interact with and react to them is on you.
It’s my path, my life. Nobody else needs to understand – nor approve of – the choices and decisions I make. Like most people, there are numerous choices and decisions I have made along the way that were imperfect. Less-than good. Wrong. Bad. And worse. Part of the human experience is the choices and decisions you make. Some of them will lead to amazing discoveries, incredible experiences, and ultimately success. But then, some will lead to awful discoveries, lousy experiences,
Maintaining neutrality over positivity or negativity doesn’t serve you when it comes to choices and decisions. For years, I have espoused the values of conscious reality creation, mindfulness, and positivity in my Pathwalking philosophy. When it comes to positivity, however, many quickly jump to toxic positivity. In the simplest of terms, toxic positivity is positivity used to disregard, ignore, and erase negativity at the expense of true awareness. If the opposite of positivity is negativity – and it is –
Be who you love – and your life will reflect that. Self-love is often misunderstood and viewed as selfish, arrogant, egotistical, and many other negative connotations. But the truth of self-love is that the person you spend the most time with is you. In fact, you cannot leave yourself, abandon yourself, or set yourself aside. Of course, astral projection, distractions, drugs, alcohol, and other things can separate you from yourself temporarily. But no matter where you go – there you
I’ve written this before – and will write it all again. In pursuit of living my philosophy, I have written the same things over and over again. Despite the fact I’ve written this before, I know that I will write it again. And that’s simply because it bears repeating. This applies to the following ideas/notions/concepts: Consciousness creates reality Mindfulness is conscious awareness of your sensory input as well as your thoughts, feelings, actions, and intentions Change is the only constant
Fitting in and being liked are not all that important when all is said and done. Throughout my teen years and well into my thirties, I really wanted to fit in. Not necessarily in the grand scheme of society – but within the structures that I spent time in. Before high school, I spent my formative years as an outsider. I was the odd, fat, short Jewish kid from the single-parent home in our very Lutheran Midwest suburban neighborhood. In
