The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
I love to create. I began to write fiction when I was nine. Even with some breaks here and there along the way, I have continued to create characters, worlds, and stories to tell about them. Then, about six years ago, I began to post to this blog weekly. Pathwalking on Wednesdays was the starting point. Two years later, I added Positivity every Monday. Just over a year ago, these posts called Crossing the Bridges came into being. All three
Reality is how we perceive the world around us. It both is and isn’t that simple, of course. No less an authority than Albert Einstein said, “Reality is an illusion, albeit a persistent one.” What that means is that what we perceive as our reality is different for everyone. To me, this thoroughly supports the notion that consciousness creates reality. Since the reality we perceive is completely individual, and a persistent illusion, isn’t it completely logical that we can create
What I choose is what is best for me. Nobody but me can choose what I want for my life. Why? Because there is nobody else inside my head. People question people’s life choices all the time. I don’t know if it’s a schadenfreude thing, or a judgement thing, or something else. We talk about it all the time, and we frequently discuss how we might have chosen differently, or comment about disagreeing with choices that have been made. It’s
Our souls are forever, but our bodies are finite. We only get one shot at life. I read and listen to a lot of self-help books. I have read and/or listened to works by Tony Robbins, Jen Sincero, Rhonda Byrne, Stephen Covey, Wallace Wattles, Napoleon Hill, Boni Lonnsburry and more. The topics range from ideas for how to live life to the fullest, manifestation, controlling our emotions, choosing our own destinies, making money through ways we love, and so on.
Even when things look really bleak, we can still find good in them. We are living in interesting times, in many ways like the Chinese curse. There are a lot of people who seem hell-bent on messing with social order, let alone taking away good things for people in the name of politics and money. Yes, this is mostly a pretty terrible thing. And yet, there has been good to have come of it. People are taking more notice, taking
You learn something new every day. This is not just some cliché phrase, it’s literally true. Some things we learn are huge and life changing, but most are minute and easy to overlook. One of the greatest joys of life is that there is always something new to be learned. Because there is always something new to learn, virtually no situation is impossible or irreparable. We simply may be lacking in the necessary knowledge. Learning is often tied in with
Where do you find your path? This can be a daunting question. Finding the path you want to walk is a matter of necessity. No two paths are the same. Similar in some respects, but not the same. For example, it is my personal goal to become a bestselling author. While there are lots of bestselling authors out there, each of us will traverse different paths to that goal. Knowing my path, where did I find it? The simple answer
Today will be whatever you make it be. It’s far too easy to approach Monday and the traditional start of the work week with distress, trepidation, displeasure, and unhappiness. There is an entire culture of Monday woe in this society, which has been and continues to be capitalized on, and as such gets reinforced. Does anyone want Monday to suck? I am pretty sure the answer is NO. I don’t really know anyone who wants to be miserable, who wants
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
Everyone prefers to feel good over feeling bad. Finding positivity is about finding ways to feel good. We live in a society that feeds on a steady diet of negativity. Fear is a tool employed by many differently “leaders” to keep people in line, and sensationalism sells and gets more clicks on social media. This can make it far easier to live in fear and negativity than to find positivity. Also, it’s Monday…so most of us are going to work
