The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
I’m tired of struggling with this feeling. Deep in the pit of my heart there is this ever-present sense of dread. It is utterly and completely fear-based, and no matter how often I address it in meditation, I can’t completely shake it. Why am I so fearful of this? What is it that I am afraid of? This is the question I have been asking myself as I have entered into my daily meditation for the last few days. What
Can logic and emotion coexist? There are many times that these two notions seem diametrically opposed. And yet they do both exist in everyone. But the balance and conflict between these concepts can be surreal at times. First, a necessary clarification. Logic, in this particular example, is thought and reason without emotion. This includes the performance of any number of actions, tangible or otherwise, with no emotional entanglements. To super-simplify this, the root of the issue is heart versus head.
Controlling emotions is particularly challenging. In order to manifest anything, you need to think, feel and act upon it. Thought is only the beginning. Without emotion behind it, you will remain where you are now. All this week I have been focused on the same notion. Positivity examined the power of words, and why want, a statement of lack, should be replaced by desire, a statement of abundance. In Pathwalking I explored how to go about changing feelings. Altering my
To change anything in life, changing what I am feeling is the key. Conscious reality creation requires thought to begin, feeling to fuel the flames, and intentional action to ignite them. For me, altering feeling is the toughest part of this. Last week I got to see Jen Sincero, author of You Are a Badass, speak. Like her books, she was an inspiring speaker. Unlike many of the other authors I have read or listened to, she manages to really
Desire is an expression of abundance. Want is an expression of lack. When it comes to self-talk, it is imperative to be aware of the difference in these. Consciousness creates reality. If we are focused on “wanting” something, we don’t realize that we are taking a lack approach. Because words matter, it’s important to be aware of the power of what we say, and even how we say things. This also applies to the words we think and don’t necessarily
Words matter. The words we say matter. But what matters more are the words we think. In especial, those we think frequently, and those we use in reference to ourselves. Most of us are thinking constantly. Hell, for a lot of us, the very notion of turning off our brains seems totally impossible. One of the reasons why meditation is so healthy is because when we meditate it’s one of the few times we can stop the chatter. However, since
We live in a Universe of abundance. When you consider the size of the cosmos, and the billions upon billions of stars, galaxies, and infinite molecules, how could it be anything BUT abundant? I know that this seems like a lie. We are constantly being bombarded by messages of lack, scarcity, and insufficiency – but it is still an ultimate truth. You are probably wondering just what that means. So what? Why does it matter that the Universe is full
What are you passionate about? This is a question that a lot of people tend to neglect. They go about their lives, doing the things that they do, some for themselves, some for other people. The answer to that question is a shrug of the shoulders, a tilt of the head, possibly even a thoughtful, “Hm.” Tony Robbins ends every section of his Personal Power series with, “Live with Passion.” This has nothing to do with physical and sexual intimacy,
I deserve all the good things I desire. Over the last several months I have had a mantra I have recited with much frequency. I am abundant and prosperous. I am a good person, worthy and deserving of abundance, prosperity, success, wealth and joy. Succeed or fail, I am supported and I am loved. Taking an online course offered by Jen Sincero, author if my favorite self-help book, You Are A Badass, she calls this creation a Mantra of Mightiness.
I have been working with the question of the intent for my life a long time, now. For decades, my answer was usually, “I don’t know what I want.” I became particularly skilled at saying “I don’t know”. Over time, my indecision extended out to include restaurants, jobs, relationships, hairstyles…you name it. When it came to decision-making, I left that to anyone else that I could. Less than ten years ago, however, I began to really think about what I
