Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Tears, you may not realize, are a surprising tool for positivity. Whether tears are being shed in happiness or in joy, or in sorrow and sadness, they are still a tool for Positivity. Because tears cleanse. When you are so filled with joy that you could burst and you begin to cry, it is an experience of ultimate release. So powerful that you are overwhelmed, and so moved. When you are sorrowful or sad and you begin to cry, it
Lately I have been experiencing a lot of anxiety. This is not a regular sensation for me, I don’t get anxious easily. But I am well aware that anxiety, as a disguise for fear, gets in the way of Pathwalking. So what am I feeling anxious about? The first step in dealing with anxiety is identifying it. I know that there are several things giving me anxiety, some of which I can deal with directly, some less so. Current anxiety
Albert Einstein said, “Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” This is so very simple. If you try the exact same thing time and again with no variations, you will get the same results. That’s a big part of what scientific testing is all about. Every single week I post Positivity. Is it insanity? No. Why? Because I am not doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I am
Dear America, When did we accept hatred as the standard? When did we decide that after almost a century of progress it was perfectly ok to allow unrestrained racists, sexists, bigots, misogynists, warmongers and fearmongers to be our leaders again? When did we decide that it was better to praise and follow the blindly faithful and ignorant rather than the logical and intelligent? How did we get to this place where our choices for leadership from one party includes a
Trying to align my beliefs, emotions, thoughts and actions is an interesting challenge. In order to manifest anything, I know that I have to combine thought with feeling and then take intentional actions. That’s a major oversimplification of the process, however. It is much more involved, and the pitfalls can be overwhelming. What am I going on about? Let me explain. I have successfully manifested things in my life. I have managed to make things happen through a combination of
Everyday can be a holiday. That means that every day we can find something to celebrate. There are so many holidays out there that have very specific meanings. Beyond that, there are feast days for Saints every single day. So why do we only choose to celebrate on these specific days? Halloween, Presidents’ Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Arbor Day, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Barthdays…these are just some of the familiar holidays. Then there are more obscure ones like Talk like
Anger is a fascinating subject. I have a lot of anger in me. Some is, at least as far as I am concerned, completely rational and likely justified. Some, however, is old, long ignored, semi-forgotten…but still there. While fear is probably the biggest obstacle I face as I walk my path, anger is a close second. I have not written much about anger before because I work very hard to keep my anger in check. Unfortunately, that does not release
I have an idea. What would happen if we decided to think before we speak more frequently? Further, this being the 21st century and all, what if we decided to think before we post? Why? To change the discourse of our society for the better. All too often we are inundated with anger, with hate, with negativity. What’s more, we tend to spread it out further by talking about these terrible things and posting about them online. What if instead
I want to be happy. Don’t you? Doesn’t that sound like a fantastic idea? What do we have to do to feel happy? That’s the challenge we all face. In especial when we’re inundated with conflict and messages of exclusion and hate and fear. Hard to find happy when there are so many messages that are the opposite. It is time to take back our power and do what it takes to be happy. It might be something grand, like
This has been a particularly challenging week for me. As I strive to walk my chosen path I am finding the obstacles along the way to be frustrating me more than usual. I could blame the cold, though overall the winter has been mild. I could blame the grey cloudy days, though I’ve now experienced several days of sun. More importantly, though, placing blame is not going to give me any resolution to my predicament. It is in my best
