Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
My path is good for me, but probably not for you. As we are not in competition, I would be happy to help you along your path in whatever way I can. Competition is a fine thing in certain respects. My baseball team versus your team, track stars running for the best time, fencers fighting to best one another, and for that matter most competitive sports. Competition in the everyday, for the most part, is unhealthy. This is not just

Everybody wants to have fun. What I consider fun you might not, and what you consider fun I might not. But so long as my fun does not interfere with your fun, and vice versa, what’s wrong with anything we are doing in the name of fun? Yes, of course there are exceptions to this. If you find fun in doing things that hurt other people, or humiliate them, or otherwise hinders their life, that’s not cool. Fun at the

Everyone is familiar with the phrases quitters never win and winners never quit. However, I think everyone also knows this is not always the truth. There are numerous things that need to be quit. Plenty of less-than-stellar habits like smoking, excess drinking, overeating, being overly judgmental and such. There are other behaviors that one might consider quitting, like always talking over others, low self-opinion, inactivity and such. What is the relation of quitting to Pathwalking? Accepting that, sometimes, you need

We should celebrate our sameness more. The things that make us all similar, our basic humanity and our universal desires for love and happiness, are not something to be ignored. These things that we all share are amazing, and we should celebrate them. We need to deemphasize our differences and the things that divide us, and make a bigger deal about our commonalities. There is tremendous positivity in unity and in our sameness. We put too great importance on physical
Why do we seem so much better at expressing negativity than positivity? This question has been on my mind for a while now, and is part of why I began my other weekly posts about Positivity. Almost every Monday I’d open up Facebook or Twitter and the first thing I would see is complaints. Weekend’s over, here we go again, another toilsome workweek, fun’s over, and so on. Heaps of negativity, enough to undo any good the weekend might have
Everyone desires independence. Certainly there are times when having someone else to make decisions for you might be appealing, but overall I cannot think of anyone who doesn’t want independence. Today is Independence Day in the United States. While this is a national holiday celebrating our declaration of independence from Great Britain two-hundred and forty years ago, the concept of independence is far broader. All of us, as individuals, are independent of thought, of action, and of feeling. No one
This is not what I expected. How often in your life have you either thought or said these words? For me, it has been far more frequently than I might have wanted. Pathwalking is about finding, choosing and then walking a path in life. You dictate that path, you make the choices along it. Of course no path is perfectly straight. They all come with twists and turns, obstacles to be overcome, avoided or directly dealt with. The best way
