I’ve Written This Before

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

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

Choosing the So-Called “Easy Path” is not Easy

The “easy path” is what leads many people to depression, anxiety, and the like. What is the easy path? The easy path is the conventional path. It’s doing the expected and shoehorning yourself into a “normal” life. To be fair, there are people for whom this is fine. A normal, conventional life makes them content, happy, and fulfilled. I have nothing but respect for that – and if you are in that boat, more power to you. Unfortunately, I think

Getting Myself Consciously and Subconsciously Aligned

I know my goals – short and long term – now I just need to get aligned. When I was 9 years old, I wrote my first work of fiction. It was 50 pages and illustrated – and I got a tremendous sense of accomplishment from creating it. Over the years, I continued to write in fits and starts. While I knew my passion was writing, I bought into a whole lot of the notorious lies about it. Most writers

Focusing Within Gives You More Control Than Focusing Without

I need to put less into focusing on the things outside of my control. We live in a crazy world. After a year that featured massive, necessary social change due to a pandemic, an awful election and ongoing ugliness after it, and massive uncertainty – there is a light at the end of the tunnel. But that light isn’t the same for everyone. For some people it’s daylight – for others, it’s an oncoming train. This is largely dependent on

Replacing Self-Help with Self-Encouragement

Most people could use self-encouragement over self-help. Let’s face it – the idea of self-help has been hacked to pieces for many people. It’s like being in a sudden deluge of rain. You were soaked to the bone after a few seconds – but it continues to inundate you. A lot of people get frustrated with all the notions of self-help. In time, it goes from the simple idea that you are capable of working on your inner being and

How Do You Suffer Fools?

I, for one, don’t suffer fools easily. Presently, the United States is a nation of surreal paradox. On the one hand, you have some of the finest tech and scientific minds you can imagine. On the other hand, you have people who think the Earth is flat and vaccines cause autism or implant microchips. Some schools teach robotics and advanced math while others teach creationism and refuse to acknowledge ongoing racism in the country. It is very hard not to

This is Who I Am

Who I am – an honest assessment of my flawed, imperfect self. Almost ten and a half years ago, I began to explore this philosophy I call Pathwalking. Over that time, all of the articles I have written, additional blogging on mindfulness, conscious reality creation, positivity, and the like have changed who I am and how I approach my life. The change has been for the better. But while I am in a good place – I am still working

Know Your Habits to Change Your Habits

You can’t change habits you aren’t consciously aware of. When it comes to choosing any given path, the choice often requires adjusting routines. That’s not to say that all routine is bad. Some routines are super-healthy. They may be good for you mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically – or all the above. Instituting regular exercise or writing out daily gratitude are examples of this. Some habits are obvious to us. But others are not. And that’s because habit exists in your

“Us” versus “Them” Is A Lie

The impact of “us” versus “them” harms our life paths. All of us live inside this society to one degree or another. Thus, all of us are equally subjected to a particularly damaging lie. The artifice of “us” versus “them.” All too often, this is used by those in “power” for control. They create “laws” supposedly intent on protecting “us” from “them.” All you have to do is look at the United States right now. Voter laws, anti-transgender measures, the
