Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
One non-violent action we can ALL take: We KNOW that Congress is going to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). I have never understood why, except that it was an Obama idea and thus an affront for whatever reason. I know a LOT of people who benefit from any number of provisions of the ACA, and who are far too likely to suffer if it is taken away. There are even more people I DON’T know that will be
This week I continue to work with Pathwalking in Practice. Last week I broke down the three means I believe everyone lives their life by: letting life live you, curling up in a ball and waiting to die or living the life you want. Pathwalking is a means to the end of living the life I want to live the most, and has evolved into a self-help philosophy I believe I can do more with, for myself and for others.
Life is full to overflowing of little things. These little things are day-to-day items, occurrences, people, places and things that build up positivity. They are many, they are varied, and all too often they are taken for granted. The little things are things that bring us moments of contentment, of joy, of peace. They make us focus on the moment, forget the overarching world situation. They are of far more power and import than we realize, and they can help
To cross any given bridge, you need to start by taking a step, literally and metaphorically. One of the reasons I began this particular blog post was to help me get my head screwed on straight, while I assess both where I am and where I want to be. Positivity is a specific topic, and far more general, and while Pathwalking is my life philosophy, it is also a more specific focal point. What neither address is the more personal
With the start of this new year, I want to begin working on a new aspect of Pathwalking. Tentatively, this will be called Pathwalking in Practice. Pathwalking in Practice is setting up actionable items in order to better work on conscious reality creation. What is an actionable item? The things you do to actually walk the path you are choosing. Everything we choose begins at the same point. There is a thought, an idea, an inspiration. Something you read opens
What do you expect for the New Year? Expectation is a reflection of your mindset, whether positive or negative. If you are expecting good, exciting, fun and awesome things, you’re thinking positively. If you are expecting bad, depressing, bothersome, terrible things, you are thinking negatively. If consciousness creates reality, and I firmly believe that it does, then expectation of positives needs to be empowered more than that of negatives. I don’t want to create a world of terror, failure, misery
Today. Today is. That’s all, today is a day. The question is, what will you make of today? How will you treat today differently from how you treated yesterday and how you will treat tomorrow? As we enter into the new year, and we prepare to celebrate the transition from the one to the other, we should all take a moment to consider what last year wrought, both good and bad, and what we might want for next year. This
The New Year is frequently used as an opportunity to get a new start to things. Many people make resolutions, which amount to often grand plans for sweeping changes. Years ago, I decided that while resolutions are all well and good, they are soft, non-committal, and easily disregarded. This is why I started instead of creating New Year’s Resolutions, to take New Year’s Actions. I began to blog regularly five years ago, as a result of my 2012 New Year’s
This has been an interesting year. In some respects this goes with the Chinese curse of “May you live in interesting times”. In some respects it has simply been full of odd and unusual, fascinating things. In some respects it has just been interesting as opposed to uninteresting…and in some ways it’s very much Joss Whedon’s definition from Serenity: Mal: “Define interesting?” Wash: “Oh god oh god we’re all going to die?” Much of the latter is due to the
We are all one. I’ve said it before, I’ve written it before, but it bears repeating. We are all one. We are all composed first and foremost of energy. Energy, which can neither be created nor destroyed, just transmuted from form to form. Beneath the skins of so many colors, under the genders we claim for ourselves, we are all made of exactly the same stuff. We are all one. This time of year for some is hugely joyous, while
