The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Do you laugh often enough? I am not just writing about a chuckle here and there, or a derisive snort. I am talking about a thorough, complete, can-hardly-breathe-almost-crying laugh. A laugh of pure positivity and joy. We all know that there are some pretty awful things going on in the world. Everybody has their struggles and their challenges. But we also have endless possibilities and options, and chances to find things that bring us joy. Know that you are worthy
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
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
No two people think alike. As I ponder this notion, it occurs to me that if we recognized this fact, we could truly change the world for the better. If we embraced the differences in how we think, we’d better understand the world around us. Let’s look at the Big Picture. Those who hold artificial positions of power. And yes, I mean artificial. Those who lead our nations, our churches and temples, our businesses are in power because they have
We are stronger when we work together than when we work apart. Pathwalking may be an individual act, but that does not mean it happens in a vacuum. Humans are social creatures. We have people whom we interact with every day on every imaginable level. Working with each other instead of against one another can take us even further than we might hope. Modern society has an unfortunate tendency to work from a divide-and-conquer approach. We are inundated with messages
Life is energy, and energy is life. When we lose people dear to us, their energy has not gone…it has been transmuted back to the Universe. We will miss the people we care about when they leave us. Their energy may be gone from our lives, but it is not truly gone. Energy can never be created nor destroyed, just transformed into a new form. As I am sitting at my desk writing this, I am witnessing the sun rising
Loss is a part of Pathwalking. Because life is ever changing, and because we are not static creatures, we will experience losses along our paths. Some are good for us, some less so. The hardest loss to take is that of a friend or loved one. When we lose people, grief is different for every one of us. In a society where we often look at the “norms”, how we grieve is one of those things that no two people
Everybody likes to receive praise. When you do a thing, and you do it well, receiving praise for it feels amazing. It is incredibly empowering, and it serves as an affirmation of the choices you make along the way. For whatever reason, though, our modern society eschews praise. We have an almost surreal talent for criticism, but when it comes to praise, we seem to display something of an aversion to it. I suspect that one of the reasons for
It costs us nothing to be polite. When did we become so impolite? What happened that, as a society, we accepted rudeness, inconsiderate people, and selfishness to be the norm? Walking through some stores, I was stunned how many people just cut us off, stopped in the dead center of a busy aisle for no good reason, passed dirty looks when I said excuse me, and let their children just run about without a care. I thought about it, and
The people who become our persons in this life can be an amazing source of Positivity. If, like me, you find that overall people make you crazy, you understand this distinction. What it boils down to is those who we get close to in various ways are persons, as opposed to those who are the faceless masses we refer to as people. People in this sense tend to drive us nuts. They cut you off on the road, they elect
