The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
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
I will do what I have to do when and if the time comes. In the meantime, I cannot live my life anticipating possibilities. In especial, focusing on worst-case scenarios. There’s a terrible idea – get fixated on awful, no good, scary things, and consciousness creates reality. We are now living in particularly uncertain times. We are witnessing an unprecedented situation in America due to our President-elect’s vast unpredictability, and his particularly vulgar, hate-spewing supporters (I am being specific here
What do you do when you reach a dead end on the path you’re traversing? This doesn’t happen too often, but from time to time you may find that the path you are on has not only forked, but actually ended unexpectedly. Why? How does a chosen path simply come to an end? The universe works in mysterious ways. You get laid off from the job where you were seeking that promotion; or you wreck your knee and need to
We are not in competition. I have written about this before, but given the monstrous, and seriously ugly, conclusion of the race for the Presidency, it bears repeating. We all got swept up into this thing. Whether because we read the news and supported or didn’t support a candidate, or if we were simply drawn into the current by unavoidable conversations, posts on social media, and so forth, we all found ourselves looking differently at one another. We found ourselves
There are always going to be days where it feels like it just does not matter. But they are a lie. It matters. YOU matter. I have those days when I get out of bed, and no matter how much sleep I have gotten I am still feeling totally wiped out. And no matter how much coffee I consume, I still feel like I would much rather crawl back into my nice warm bed and sleep more. Of course, this
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
How do you want to feel? This is an important question I do not think we ask of ourselves enough. Not only do we not ask of ourselves, How do I feel? But neither do we ask, How do I want to feel? It is easy to forget that when all is said and done, I and I alone am responsible for how I feel. Period. Whether or not I feel good or bad, happy or sad, anxious or excited,
Everything is energy. At its core, in its simplest, most elegant form every single thing you can see, touch, taste, and smell is energy. Every one of us, no matter our skin color, ethnicity, gender or other chosen identifier is energy. The earth, the sun, the other planets in the solar system and everything, absolutely everything, is comprised of energy. Both science and spirituality agree on this point, though they might use different phraseology to explain it. Since every single
