Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Loss is a part of Pathwalking. Because life is ever changing, and because we are not static creatures, we will experience losses along our paths. Some are good for us, some less so. The hardest loss to take is that of a friend or loved one. When we lose people, grief is different for every one of us. In a society where we often look at the “norms”, how we grieve is one of those things that no two people
Community is important. Because human beings are social creatures, we seek out like-minded individuals to form communities with. This is where religious groups, civic organizations, and even nations come into being. People who share one or more interests/beliefs join together and form a community. We often look at this from a “big picture” sense. We live in a given community and such. What I am talking about in this instance is that which we choose to identify with, and what
I am worthy and deserving of awesomeness in my life. It’s interesting how often I need to remind myself of this. There have been many instances where I do not feel as though I deserve to have the things I desire in my life. Crossing the Bridges is the most personal of my weekly posts. I am exploring not only my philosophies and approaches to life, but my actual, factual life. In Positivity I pointed out that YOU are amazing!
Everybody likes to receive praise. When you do a thing, and you do it well, receiving praise for it feels amazing. It is incredibly empowering, and it serves as an affirmation of the choices you make along the way. For whatever reason, though, our modern society eschews praise. We have an almost surreal talent for criticism, but when it comes to praise, we seem to display something of an aversion to it. I suspect that one of the reasons for
You are an amazing individual. No, really. I might not know you in the slightest, but I can honestly tell you that you are an amazing person. We may disagree about any number of topics, we may have totally different and diametrically opposed backgrounds, but I can still tell you that you are an amazing individual. People tend to not give themselves enough credit. We look for our faults, we work on the things about ourselves that are flawed…but this
Time is relative. Our perception of it is variable, fluctuates, and changes depending on how much attention we are paying to it. Einstein told us that time is an illusion. More specifically, he said, “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Yet our whole society obsesses over these distinctions. Last week, I wrote about my tendency to always put my work on conscious reality creation ahead of me. Not in the here-and-now, but
Why did I start Pathwalking six years ago? When I decided that I needed to blog weekly, I came up with this idea. Pathwalking is the living, breathing process of using consciousness to create reality in order to manifest the life I most desire. Consciousness creates reality. How do I know this? Because I have done it. I know that when we are aware and totally present in the here-and-now, we can build our existence however we most desire for
Renewal is frequently the theme for people at the start of the new year. While change is constant and inevitable, we frequently resist it. One exception for this, however, is New Years’ Eve. Many people formulate a New Years’ Resolution. They resolve to change something in their life. Frequently, this is diet or exercise related. They look to a change they want to make, and attach it to the fresh year. Resolutions are not much of a commitment. It’s thought
I have been working with the question of the intent for my life a long time, now. For decades, my answer was usually, “I don’t know what I want.” I became particularly skilled at saying “I don’t know”. Over time, my indecision extended out to include restaurants, jobs, relationships, hairstyles…you name it. When it came to decision-making, I left that to anyone else that I could. Less than ten years ago, however, I began to really think about what I
Action with intent or purpose is far more powerful than action for the sake of itself. Consciousness creates reality. In order to use this to manifest the end goal or desire, we need to think, feel, and then take intentional action. I have spent a lot of time writing about thought and feeling, but less on action. Action needs to have intent. It needs to be done with a purpose in mind. Action simply to complete the trifecta with thought
