Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Many of the obstacles I encounter in life are of my own creation. Everybody encounters obstacles along the way. Some are out of our control, such as weather and traffic. Many, however, only exist because we allow them to. This blog has evolved since its initial creation, in order to focus on how consciousness creates reality. I share my ideas because I know I am not alone in doing what I do. But I also share because I believe that
Anticipation can be a double-edged sword. One the one hand, it can be exciting, full of thrill and unknown wonder. On the other hand, it can be nerve-wracking, full of dread and unknown horror. Anticipation is an emotional response to a situation ahead of us. As such, like all the other emotions we can feel, we can determine HOW this will feel. Pathwalking is about choosing for ourselves our own, individual way. It is living life to the fullest, making
Caring for others will always increase Positivity. Human beings are social creatures. Yes, there are introverts, extroverts, and ambiverts, but we all still have a basic need for some interaction. Even the most introverted people I know still give and receive care. Caring and empathy are connected. I believe that every reasonable person cares when they see others hurting, whether that is hurting spiritually, emotionally or physically. Empathizing with people going through things can build tremendous positivity. When we express
Empathy can better the world around us. For what it’s worth, I am an empath. What that means is that I can feel the emotions of people around me, sometimes better than I can feel my own. The difference between simply feeling empathy and being an empath is that, as an empath I ALWAYS feel things. With empathy, it is an emotion that can be switched on and off far more easily. Because I am an empath, I frequently find
Love is far simpler than we tend to make it. Storytellers across the ages have been informing us that love is this grand, complex, amazing thing. And while it certainly can be, in truth it is much less grandiose. I have frequently written here about the ability we all possess to manifest the things we want in life. We are, at our ultimate core, energy. Energy vibrates at various frequencies. Low frequency vibration draws low, negative things to us. High
Inspiration comes in many forms. Different things inspire different people, of course. People can find inspiration in any of the five senses. The taste of chocolate. A piece of music. The smell of fresh brewed coffee. Sunlight in your eyes. The feel of silk beneath your hands. That sense of comfort and love from those closest to you. Any of these alone or in combination can spark the imagination and inspire great things. Inspiration has been personified throughout history. The
I have worked any number of jobs that didn’t leave me feeling satisfied. We all have to earn a living, right? You can’t just laze about your home, on a beach, or wander aimlessly all the time, because clothing, food and shelter cost money. Also, frankly, doing nothing at all gets pretty boring pretty fast. When I started college, I remember preparing to register for my first classes. It was orientation, and I had not yet chosen my major. I
One of the goals of Pathwalking is to enhance the things in life that make us feel joyful. I want to work on choosing the life I most desire to lead. Consciousness creates reality, and I want to choose the reality that brings me joy and happiness. This can be particularly challenging, especially in today’s society. We are bombarded every day with horrid, awful, ugly, unpleasant things. Terrible people, selfishness, greed, and a deluge of messages about lack and scarcity.
Pure, unadulterated joy. Don’t you love that feeling? The freedom, the release, the positivity? That feeling of comfort and warmth and bliss that makes you smile and remember what it is to be alive? We are so inundated with dread, fear, anger, hatred, division and harsh reality. Everyone is constantly being subjected to grim news and intolerance and denial of joy. We are slaves to community, to jobs and finances and responsibilities that rob us of pure joyfulness. I believe
In response to a great deal of awful things from the start of this year, I want to share with you ten things in my personal life that are making me happy. While Valentine’s Day is my least favorite holiday, the message of love it conveys is worth spreading. Rather than keep it to one day designed to generate revenue for florists, chocolatiers and card companies, I think spreading love every day is a fine thing. Love begins with the
