The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Doing opens the door to having. Positivity is a key to that door. Do you have a dream? A goal? Is there something that you really want to make/have/or be in your life? What are you doing to make it happen? When I was a kid and saw The Empire Strikes Back for the first time, this line from Yoda always resonated with me: “Do, or do not, there is no try.” Yoda was not, by any stretch of the

Thinking is not overrated What a lot of people tend to neglect is that thought is the beginning of anything and everything. Thinking drives the Universe, gives us new and exciting creations, and changes the world in wondrous ways. At least, it should. All-too-often, though, thinking gets poo-pooed. There is currently such a backlash against intellectualism that logic and reason are taking a constant backseat to zealotry

While it is important to be responsible and accountable for your thoughts, feelings and actions, there is a massively important aspect of this notion we cannot ignore. When you have accepted responsibility and accountability, you need to forgive yourself. Forgiveness can be difficult in many ways. When somebody does something awful to you, directly or indirectly, it may not be so easy to forgive them. But in

Ironically, despite this idea of working with ourselves to help ourselves, people still seem easily inclined to give up their power, and turn to others to improve their lives. There are certainly plenty of times where we need the help of others. Doctors can treat illnesses and prescribe needed

Why? Because the only person we ever need to be better than is our present self. Further, in truth, we cannot generally be better than anyone else. We are, in the grand make-up of the universe, all equal. Yes, when it comes to certain athletic

Depression will tell you all kinds of things about who you are, and they are all lies. It tells you that you are unworthy, undeserving, and that all bad things are what you can have. But you are worthy, and deserving, and all good things are what you can have. Depression is lying to you, and though I

It is so easy to take gratitude for granted. But there are so many things we all have which we can be thankful for, and this is an incredible creator of amazing things. The spirit of Thanksgiving is expressing gratitude for our family, friends, and loved ones. I would suggest it holds
“Luminous beings are we – not this crude matter.” – Yoda. Sure, this quote comes from a small green Muppet in an epic sci-fi story…but that does not lessen the truth of the statement. At our core we are beings of pure energy. The meat popsicles we see running around the planet are not who we are when all is said and done. Why does this matter? Because we are beings of pure energy, rather than these bodies we present
Be who you want to be. Do not wait for the right time, the right situation, or whatever perfect storm you desire. Be who you want, right now. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, be who you want to be. I have spent a good part of my life struggling with my own identity. This has come in a lot of different forms, but it has mostly been a combination of being indecisive about who I am, concerns about
Thought is one of the main driving forces of the Universe. Everything that ever was, currently is, or ever shall be begins with thought. Somewhere there was an idea that led to a feeling from which action was taken. Thus is reality as we know it made manifest. There are certain aspects of our reality that are completely universal. The sun, moon and stars, air, water, earth, and so on. But even these can be altered by thought. There are
