Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Change is a good thing. Yet this terrifies us. Change leads to the unknown, and in our fear-based society, the unknown frightens us. I know that to some degree, this is a survival instinct. When we lived in caves, and had a limited knowledge of anything but the immediate geography, the unknown beyond was almost unimaginable. What kind of creatures are over that mountain? Are there monsters in the sea? Does that village we see smoke from contain cannibals? Some
Do you love yourself? This is not a trick question. How do you feel about yourself? Modern society tends to look askance at self-love. Why? Because our society frequently deals in extremes, and on this scale the extremes are selfishness and selflessness. A great deal of our fear-based society focuses on greedy, intolerant, ignorant, selfish people. Government, religious and business leaders frequently show us exactly that. Selfishness in the extreme, to the detriment of everyone else. Because that’s such a
Ignorance may be bliss, but education is empowerment. The more we learn, the more we become capable of. The more abilities we develop, the more skills we hone, the abler we are to change the world for the better. One of the failings of many of our leaders is their desire to keep us ignorant. It’s a matter of their retention of control to keep us reliant on them for our understanding of certain matters. Rather than empower, they prefer
I am the only one who can break the pattern. But I don’t have all the answers. More often than not what I have is more questions. I believe that this is one of the things, though, that makes life worth living. New questions, new things to learn, answers to be found for questions asked. I have been asking myself a lot of questions lately. That’s what I do when I find myself on unfamiliar ground. Here I am, between
Do I have enough intention and desire to go where I truly want to go? That’s the question I am trying to answer currently. As I am walking my chosen path, I have to examine if I have sufficient conviction. Why is that important? Because if I do not put enough thought, feeling and intentional action into this, I will remain stationary. I have to give this more than just lip-service in order to achieve my goals. It is my
You are awesome. Yes, I am talking to YOU. We are not told frequently enough how incredible we are. You are awesome. For real, you are an amazing, incredible person, and you have a lot to offer to this world. Self-doubt has the unfortunate power of stopping us from becoming what we want to be. Some of the doubt is due to outside influences, but the majority is on each and every one of us. We are our own worst
Our souls are forever, but our bodies are finite. We only get one shot at life. I read and listen to a lot of self-help books. I have read and/or listened to works by Tony Robbins, Jen Sincero, Rhonda Byrne, Stephen Covey, Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill, Boni Lonnsburry and more. The topics range from ideas for how to live life to the fullest, manifestation, controlling our emotions, choosing our own destinies, making money through ways we love, and so on.
I have a lot on my mind right now, and choosing a topic has been an interesting challenge. I have been presented with the opportunity to well and truly walk my path. This has put me in a position where I can work on setting the schedule I desire, make the use of my time I most want to. Further, this has afforded me a chance to work on building the destiny I most want from my life. While I
Your hate is not more powerful than our humanity. That was the message delivered soundly in Boston this past weekend. The protesters from the alt-right, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups were exponentially outnumbered by the counter-protesters. People standing for unity, for equality, and peace proved they were much, much stronger than haters. The positivity of this act is immeasurable. In a time when the fear in our society has been growing continuously, to witness empowerment on that scale
Though what happened in Charlottesville last weekend did not have a direct effect on me, it is still something I take personally. Crossing the Bridges is where I get the most personal, and this week in particular I need to address what I am seeing in this country. I was born and raised Jewish. Though I don’t practice the religion at this time, I DO culturally consider myself a Jew. I am proud of my heritage, and it means a
