Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, Nontoxic Positivity, and More
The world is NOT ending in December of 2012. Let’s just get that notion out there, right now. Seriously, people. I don’t care that the Mayan long-form calendar ends, or that the planets are aligning or there will be a harmonic convergence or what-have-you. The world is NOT coming to an end in a few months. Let’s look at all the world-ending prophecies we’ve had. Just recently there was that crazy radio guy claiming the world was supposed to end
Perhaps circumstances have put you in a bad place. The question is – what do you do about it? This is a key aspect of Pathwalking. Rather than being a victim of circumstance, the goal is to make your situations as you wish them to be. But a huge challenge to this goal is often the circumstances therein. You certainly did not ask to lose the job, be incapable of paying the debt, be trapped in that relationship, be living
Are you grateful for the opportunity to walk your own path? This question is of far greater importance than you might think. Without gratitude, it is impossible to gain anything. Walking your path will inevitably fail. Yes, that is a very broad statement. But it is completely true. Every self-help teacher and new age guru, almost every spiritual leader past and present will tell you that gratitude is absolutely necessary to achieve anything. If you are not grateful for what
Thank you. These are two words that mean more than almost any others you can say. They convey gratitude. And gratitude is something we all too readily take for granted. It is pretty much impossible to get anywhere in life without being grateful for where you have gotten to, and for what you have. And yet gratitude is something that just does not come easily for many people. We get so caught up in the bad news, the insanity of
There is more than enough love, power, happiness and joy for everyone. These things are in abundance, even though they are all-too-often denied. All of these are part of why one chooses Pathwalking. I know that I, personally, want more love, empowerment, happiness and joy in my life. And choosing my own path helps bring me that every day. Of course it is not that simple, or that easy. In especial in a world where the messages are all about
Progress cannot be made by undoing anything. In the current political discourse, there has been a lot of talk about undoing this, or undoing that. It’s all been about going back and taking apart what has been done. But how can you possibly move forward when your action is backwards? Undoing is the opposite of doing. It is backwards, not forwards motion. If we want to see progress, if we want to see things move forward, undoing things gets us
Pathwalking is about choice. It is about being active instead of reactive. And it is about empowering the self. Empowerment often scares people. The idea of power has been twisted and skewed in such a way that we often view it as a negative. But empowerment of the self is healthy, and a central aspect of Pathwalking. The line “power corrupts” is constantly emphasized in our society. You cannot look at a modern election and NOT have that thought. Big
“In order to have faith in our own path, we don’t need to prove that someone else’s path is wrong”. – Paulo Coelho In the process of Pathwalking, we all encounter people who are unsupportive of our effort. But sometimes that goes even further. Sometimes they are determined to show us that our path is wrong. This is ultimately more disheartening than a lack of support. Having someone actively taking the time and effort to show you that your own
Why does empowerment scare the government so badly? The easy answer is because they feel we will need them less if we have our own power. That’s the short answer. The full answer, however, takes a bit more thought. What IS empowerment, anyhow? That’s the tough question. Let’s turn to our friend dictionary.com for the answer: em·pow·er verb (used with object) 1. to give power or authority to; authorize, especially by legal or official means: I empowered my agent to make
What makes a person deviate from the path they are walking? How does a person who has been walking a very good life path wreck that path to the point where the path no longer exists and no other path can be started? I was asked these questions in response to a previous post, and believe that it bears its own entry in the Pathwalking series, and a more in-depth analysis. What makes a person deviate from the path they
