Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
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
Self-doubt and indecision will complicate Pathwalking. I strive to be less doubtful about who I am, and to do better with making decisions about my life. Pathwalking is about choosing for myself, rather than letting random chance just happen. Yet I still question if I am deserving of this. I doubt myself, my abilities to do the things I want to do. This in turn can make me indecisive, and I get stuck in uncertainty. Self-doubt comes from many places.
What do I want? I have been asking this question of myself for most of my adult life. It is both the single most basic question I can ask, as well as massively loaded. This is a question that can be rooted in the past, awareness in the present, or looking to the future, which complicates things further. One of the more complex issues I encounter with this question has long been its opposite. I was less sure of what
If I don’t bother to decide, I leave my fate up to my subconscious. Sure, I could blame outside influences or circumstances or what-have-you. But the truth is that when I don’t make conscious decisions, my subconscious is driving the bus. This can be a particularly complicated concept to grasp. Probably the biggest reason why is because we live in a society that lacks accountability. Our government is the perfect example of this fact. At almost every level, nobody takes
Conscious reality creation takes place in the now. We cannot undo the past, and as Yoda says, “Always in motion is the future.” The only part of reality we truly control is the present. This week has marked several changes on my part. All of them involved decisions. One was in regards to changing this blog for its growth, one will close a long-standing issue I’ve spent more than half-a-decade trying to resolve. In both instances I had to make
It’s not that there always needs to be a fixed destination. Life is about the journey, after all, so it is certainly both logical and even necessary that from time to time you walk a path, but the goal is not wholly clear. Yes, it is important to have an idea, to have a plan. But sometimes there are days where you just are on the paths, walking along, and though you have an end goal in mind, it is
Consciousness creates reality. I write that a lot. Why? Because this is the truth. Consciousness creates our reality. What we concentrate on, give thought and feeling and energy and action to, we create. We manifest things into our life, and we build or destroy our personal world. I know that for a lot of people this seems like total BS. We live in a world that seems to be beyond our control. We didn’t manifest our debts, our illnesses, the
Decide to decide. I cannot tell you how many times in my life I have found myself at some crossroads or other because I refused to decide to decide. Decision making is only challenging if you choose for it to be so. For a lot of my life, I was the King of Indecision. I totally should have bought myself a crown. When I made the decision to take action for the New Year, nearly five years ago now, it
