Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
What is my motivation? This is not just a question an actor asks of their director…it is a question about life. What is it that motivates me to do the things I do? I am a writer and editor. Writing is a craft I have been working on since I was nine years old, and truly focused on for about twenty years now. My first editor taught me a tremendous amount about not just editing, but writing to its core,
What is reality? Wiser men and women than me have been pondering this question for almost as long as we came down from the trees. But for our everyday purposes, reality is this moment. Reality is the world we experience, here and now. Much of what we consider reality is, however, an illusion. Even brilliant scientist Albert Einstein told us this: “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” But what does that mean? Simply put our individual
“Luminous beings are we – not this crude matter.” – Yoda. Sure, this quote comes from a small green Muppet in an epic sci-fi story…but that does not lessen the truth of the statement. At our core we are beings of pure energy. The meat popsicles we see running around the planet are not who we are when all is said and done. Why does this matter? Because we are beings of pure energy, rather than these bodies we present
I need to empower my reality. Every week I write about how consciousness creates reality. I get into detail, and explore the various ways in which this works. This is something I have been developing and exploring for many years now. The grand idea behind this is the Law of Attraction, the idea that like attracts like. When we take our thought, power it up with feeling, then use that to act intentionally, we do the work to manifest reality
Empower your power. Today in America is Independence Day. It was on this day in 1776 that the Declaration of Independence was adopted by the original 13 colonies. That action birthed a nation that has been both loved and hated across the globe, with ideals of freedom, liberty and independence that would change the greater world around it. “When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them
Power is an illusion. Most of those who are “in power” have either assumed it, been granted it, or otherwise had it conferred upon them in some form or other. Yet in reality, it is not real. The idea of power is what generates it, and it is a complete and utter intangible. There is a difference between power and empowerment. Empowerment may also be intangible, but it is feeling. Because it involves feeling, it carries with it a greater
It is my desire to express how grateful I am for many, many things. I am just not feeling it right now. Why am I not feeling grateful? Because my home country is being taken over by a bunch of ultra-selfish, uncompassionate, self-promoting douchebags-of-holding. Someone in my life continues to disappoint me all-too-frequently. I know I am capable of more in this life, and yet I am my own worst enemy. Consciousness creates reality. I write about this three times
It is difficult to feel gratitude in the face of overwhelming unfairness, cruelty and disdain. Expressing gratitude, however, is a fundamental building block for creating change. I find the news extremely disheartening. The United States is being led by a petulant, narcissistic man-child and his unscrupulous associates. Long-standing institutions that made the nation a world-leader are being dismantled or massively corrupted. Allies are being alienated. Congress cannot be bothered to do their job and fix this in the name of
Thank you for your support. While I do this in part for myself, it is knowing that you are out there, reading these words, that helps keep me going. I am so deeply grateful for you, that I need to take a moment to simply say, Thank You. Gratitude is the ultimate tool in the world of conscious reality creation. Expressing gratitude for what we already possess, not just saying the words but FEELING grateful, will draw more of the
Surrender has always been a challenge for me. For much of my life, I have been something of a control freak. Over the years that has grown much more subtle, largely because I’ve been working on being more present and aware in the here-and-now. But I still prefer to be in control. I do the driving, I choose to take less-than-well-traveled paths, and I prefer to be in control of my own destiny. Unsurprisingly, conscious reality creation is rife with
