I am constantly talking about balance in regards to Pathwalking.  Moderation, knowing the yin and yang and finding what we need in order to successfully walk our paths in this life as we would choose them. There is one exception to this it is important to grasp. We live in a universe of abundance.  Everything we could want or need can be found in this universe, around us, because everything is energy, and we can alter frequencies to move the

Most people are familiar with the Golden Rule, and the phrase “Do unto others as you would have done unto you.” What ends up being neglected is the notion to do unto yourself as you wish to have done unto you. It is very easy to get caught up in looking out for your family and your friends and their wellbeing.  Sometimes it’s just easier to take on and deal with other people and their problems and needs and wants

Expectation is a powerful force. What exactly IS expectation, anyhow?  Dictionary.com defines it thus: noun 1. the act or the state of expecting: to wait in expectation. 2. the act or state of looking forward or anticipating. 3. an expectant mental attitude: a high pitch of expectation. 4. something expected; a thing looked forward to. 5. Often, expectations; a prospect of future good or profit: to have great expectations. Looking forward, anticipating, waiting – and it is really great expectations that are what we all want to have when it comes to this action, this emotion. However, expectation can also be a crutch.  It can be a blockage for the actions in the here-and-now, as often it is something ahead of us, rather than

We form communities because it is human nature to not want to be alone. What do communities form around?  It is usually a common element – everyone shares a skin color or similar beliefs about nature or a faith in god or a common activity and so forth.  The people find common ground with one another, and form a group that shares that commonality.  Now we are not alone. The trouble is, while this starts off innocuously enough, often communities

Do you overthink things? This is a very important question, because knowing the answer makes a tremendous difference in how and where you find satisfaction in life. I often remark that my inner skeptic gets in the way of my plans.  But more realistically, I think, it is my tendency to overthink. What exactly is overthinking? Overthinking is when you consider every possible aspect and angle of a given situation, apply reason and logic, then rethink the whole thing, applying

Around the world today people are celebrating the New Year. Why is this significant?  What does it mean?  What way, if any, does this effect Pathwalking? Let’s break this down to its very core.  New is unfamiliar, a start, an origin.  Year is an easily marked measure of linear time.  New Year’s implies a time of rebirth, renewal, and new beginnings.  Its very name speaks plainly of a fresh space in time.  As much as many fear change, people are

I have come to realize that if I am having doubts and issues and struggles along MY path, it is certain you are too.  Pathwalking began as a challenge to myself to post something to the blog weekly, and has evolved into a lifestyle choice, and a philosophy that I think can be beneficial to practically everyone. But with any lifestyle choice that encourages going “against the grain” or outside of the “status quo”, there are unique challenges. Many of

Change is inevitable. Change will happen, no matter how much you would rather it did not.  Change is a part of life, it is a constant, and it cannot be denied. We can put it off, we can neglect it, we can rail against it.  But it will happen, and it will take place, for good or ill.  Change comes. People often think themselves victims of circumstance, victims of change.  But we all have within us the power to direct

Thoughts on opposition

Do you know what happens if we stand against one another, in opposition?  Do you know what we accomplish, what we achieve? Nothing. That’s right.  Opposing this and standing against that and resisting things gets you a whole lot of nothing.  It gets you nowhere. Look at the federal government.  Rather than work on a replacement for Obamacare, what do they do?  Oppose it.  And what do they accomplish?  Nothing. Carl Jung told it simply.  “What you resist, persists.” What
