Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Find your happy place, and enjoy some time there. We all have them. That place that we get to where the world is perfect. That spot where we are in absolute contentment, feeling alive and whole and where time can just stand still and we feel as if might want to live there forever. That is your happy place. I think there are many different happy places for most people, but they are not just an abstract idea or a
I love you. This is the most powerful phrase in the world. It can lighten our step, it can change our mood, it can make our world better in ways beyond measure. I used to be terrified of this phrase. The implications behind it, the commitment, the expectations. I didn’t want to say it because I know that it can be ever changing, that it can be impermanent, and that it can be as destructive as it can be powerful.
I have never chosen the conventional path. Before I came up with the idea of Pathwalking, I still never managed to conform to any normal path. This goes back a long, long ways as I examine it. As a kid I was not like the other kids in a number of ways I read at a higher level, I came from one of at the time few single-parent homes. I never quite meshed with the religious community in which I
Despite working to maintain and promote positivity, sometimes depression is unavoidable. I know how this works. You put the energy and focus into maintaining a positive mindset, you use the many tools available to build positivity – and yet you still get sat upon by the black dog of depression. What do you do with that behemoth breathing in your face? Depression is not something to be denied or ignored. If you have depression, It is a part of your
Even when you are actively Pathwalking, there are responsibilities you cannot just ignore. I can imagine how some people may see the idea of Pathwalking as slacking. Choosing the thing you want to do over the things you should be doing – but that could not be further from the truth. There is still responsibility and accountability when it comes to Pathwalking. In fact, I could even argue that that is what it is all about. This week I am

Don’t let the haters win. Hatred is usually based in fear. Fear of change, fear of the unknown, fear of things and beliefs and ideas that are different. Hate is an extreme emotion that fearmongers love to employ in order to gather followers and to taint viewpoints for their own gain. Yes, the ludicrously long election cycle in America is about to get more focused, and a lot of what has already proceeded this is a ton of hatred, fear,
What do you do if the path you are on crumbles beneath your feet? First – yes, this can happen. While Pathwalking is something that you control there are always factors that can have a direct impact on your chosen path that you have no control over. Perfect example – your job. Whether you work for yourself or for someone else, the job you choose to work is a part of the path you are walking. One of my goals
We all need help from time to time. So, too, do other people around us. The incredible amount of Positivity that comes from helping others is tremendously powerful. Whether you are lending a hand to a friend or a loved one or a total stranger, the power of giving can create a huge cache of positivity. There are a couple key things to keep in mind when it comes to giving. First – know the difference between giving and sacrificing.
I just want to cocoon in my bed. We all have days like this. No matter how hard we try to find positivity, no matter how much we work to maintain a good head space, nothing seems to work. I am walking upon the path I have chosen, and despite knowing that there will be bumps and twists and turns and obstacles along the way I am finding negotiating my path particularly challenging. I am being effected by things far
