The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Depression is a liar. When you suffer from depression, you often deal with a ton of conflicting feelings and emotions that seem completely illogical, and can leave you feeling worthless, lost, and even unloved. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. If you cope with depression, this may seem untrue, but it is important for me to tell you that. Even when it is at its worst, making you feel just awful, you are not alone. I have struggled with depression for most
Decisions are an important element for moving life forward. As Pathwalking involves choosing direction for one’s life, an absolutely necessary element of any choice is decision making. Making decisions can be terrifying for people. Why? Because many of us tend to overthink. We second guess, fear that if we choose wrong we, or someone we care about, might suffer. Or we might possibly miss out on something better. Deciding can be intimidating because it feels final. The finality of the
One of the goals of Pathwalking is to enhance the things in life that make us feel joyful. I want to work on choosing the life I most desire to lead. Consciousness creates reality, and I want to choose the reality that brings me joy and happiness. This can be particularly challenging, especially in today’s society. We are bombarded every day with horrid, awful, ugly, unpleasant things. Terrible people, selfishness, greed, and a deluge of messages about lack and scarcity.
Tenacity, like patience, has never been my strongest suit. One of the keys to succeeding at reaching the destination of any given path, though, is tenacious resolve. What does it mean to have tenacity? It is best described as the ability to stick-to whatever you are trying to make happen. I often picture this as a dog with her jaws fastened to a stick she just will not relinquish. She would rather hold onto it then let it go, even
Time is relative. Our perception of it is variable, fluctuates, and changes depending on how much attention we are paying to it. Einstein told us that time is an illusion. More specifically, he said, “The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” Yet our whole society obsesses over these distinctions. Last week, I wrote about my tendency to always put my work on conscious reality creation ahead of me. Not in the here-and-now, but
Renewal is frequently the theme for people at the start of the new year. While change is constant and inevitable, we frequently resist it. One exception for this, however, is New Years’ Eve. Many people formulate a New Years’ Resolution. They resolve to change something in their life. Frequently, this is diet or exercise related. They look to a change they want to make, and attach it to the fresh year. Resolutions are not much of a commitment. It’s thought
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
Intention requires attention. The power of intent is something we take for granted. We fail to see that we have the ability to manifest not just once in a while, not just on a special occasion or due to a dire need, but all day, every day. One of the key elements of manifestation is intention. Intent is not the starting point so much as it is the direction. What begins as an idea becomes energized when you add an
I want to give back to the world. One of my greatest desires is to give something of value to the world. Whether it’s entertainment in the fiction that I write, insight from this blog, lessons in medieval rapier combat, or a pun to make someone crack a smile, I want to be a giver. One of the risks of this, though, is focusing more on giving than receiving anything in return. When in the course of day-to-day life one
I am always thinking. But then, really, who isn’t? Our entire reality as we perceive it is based on thought. We see this life in our own, individual ways, which differ as they do because of our thinking. While it’s true that at our core, we are all energy, and thus all the same, as I have been writing about this week both in Positivity and Pathwalking, how we think defines our individuality. Not simply what we think, but how
