The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Why we are – and all else – depends on circumstances both in and out of our control. Please pause a moment. Look around you and then make note of where you are. How did you get there? What made you decide to be where you are, right now? Is this where somewhere you actually want to be – or not? For various reasons, you are where you are. Maybe you’re somewhere you have chosen – or not. And even
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
Making a plan has not always been my strong suit. I tend to take actions as needed, but planning? Not so much. From time to time I will make a plan. But more often than not, I just go along and do what I need to do. This is not tremendously compatible with the notion of conscious reality creation. Take my writing, for instance. A friend once told me there are two kinds of writers in the world – planners
How do I know if I am on the right path? This is probably the most basic, yet most challenging question to ask. The answer is both amazingly simple, and yet fairly complicated. Pathwalking is making choices about living life, in order to work to consciously create our personal reality as we want it to be. Rather than simply going along with life and letting whatever happens, happen; as we walk our chosen paths we strive to be present and
Pathwalking can be fraught with many challenges. I long ago came to believe that nothing worth having is ever easy. But there is a difference between challenge and struggle. Challenge involves growth and proactive change, while struggle is stagnation and reactive change. Challenge is deciding to change, while struggle is forced. Many of the challenges in Pathwalking are due to outside influences, some which we can control and some which we cannot. Recognizing this is the first step towards working
You are in control of more than you believe yourself to be. This can be a particularly difficult concept to believe, but that doesn’t lessen the truth of it. You are in control over how you think, how you feel, and how you act. I know that sometimes it feels like that control is really, really limited. Truth is, however, that the only limitations are those that you yourself place. Otherwise, you have far more power and capability to change
Intention is the reality of control. When you take an intentional action, you have a purpose, and are not just doing some thing for the sake of doing the thing. Intent means there is a plan to gain something from the action taken. I have been writing more or less since I began Pathwalking that one of the main reasons to walk one’s own path is to take control of your own destiny. I want to create a unique, interesting
Balancing living in the now with our overall perception of time is an interesting challenge. As I concluded last week, I have been thoroughly indoctrinated into the societal obsession with time, and my work to withdraw from that perception is a challenge. But because I desire to consciously create the reality I most want to have, I am doing anything and everything I can think of to more regularly live in the here and now. What tools do I have
Finding the balance between living in the now and setting goals for the future is uniquely challenging. Pathwalking is about taking control of your destiny, and making choices along the path of life to manifest what you want from it. This is not just living life come-what-may, like so many people do, but instead making decisions, making choices about raising your vibrational energy, and manifesting a life you want to live. Why bother? Because I don’t know about you, but
Breaking the routine is hard. When you have set up habitual ways of doing things, it is tremendously difficult to change them. We don’t recognize all of our habitual behaviors as habits. When we think of habits, we think of things like smoking and drinking and chewing off our fingernails and so on. But any routine we do on a regular basis is a habit. Oftentimes, when we get stuck on the path we are trying to traverse, or having
