Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
If Pathwalking is about choosing a direction and walking a path, what do you do when there are multiple goals you seek? I have been perplexed by this very question pretty much all of my adult life.

The answer is both extremely simple and potentially complex. As you walk your path, you will come across forks, branches, crossroads, and various and sundry obstacles. How can you tell a diversion from a proper path? How do you choose which is the way to go? Let’s break
