The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
I am. Sometimes that’s all it takes to find a positive. Just acknowledging that I AM. Life happens. Whether I am having a good day or a bad day, the important part is that I am having a day. I am here. I am alive. I am breathing. I have possibilities for my present and my future, and I AM. It is tremendously easy to lose sight of this. We get caught up in our own mundane issues, whether that
People are coming together to help one another. In the face of difficult times, massive uncertainty, and some scary people assuming power, people are coming together to work with one another to show the world that we will not be intimidated. Whether the topic is education, science, the environment, awful business practices, general politics, LGBTQ rights, separation of church and state or what-have-you, people are coming together like never before to stand up for the things they believe in. They
Resistance is not futile. But, remember, Carl Jung pointed out that “What you resist persists.” We need to stand up to the wrongs we see happening, yes. We cannot ignore the bizarre, freaky, frightening things coming from the top of the US government. BUT – we also cannot let these things control our lives completely. We need to focus instead on changing the conversation. Resistance is not futile, but we need to step back from a negative reaction, and try
We go on. The world turns, and things happen out there which we have little to no control over. It’s easy to get caught up in politics, wars, social injustices, celebrities, and all sorts of other matters that we are not much more than voyeurs of. Yet we personalize these matters, let them affect our everyday lives, and often allow them to dominate our consciousness. It is important to be informed, and it’s a good idea to know what is
All are created equal. Men, women, black, white, heterosexual, homosexual, American, Russian, Chinese, Jewish, Catholic, transgendered…what have you, we are all created equal. Beneath the meat sacks we are running around the planet in, we are the same. We are all creatures of energy, when you get to our very core. The suits we wear to encounter the world differ, and our likes and dislikes may vary, but when all is said and done we are all equal. Martin Luther
Life is full to overflowing of little things. These little things are day-to-day items, occurrences, people, places and things that build up positivity. They are many, they are varied, and all too often they are taken for granted. The little things are things that bring us moments of contentment, of joy, of peace. They make us focus on the moment, forget the overarching world situation. They are of far more power and import than we realize, and they can help
What do you expect for the New Year? Expectation is a reflection of your mindset, whether positive or negative. If you are expecting good, exciting, fun and awesome things, you’re thinking positively. If you are expecting bad, depressing, bothersome, terrible things, you are thinking negatively. If consciousness creates reality, and I firmly believe that it does, then expectation of positives needs to be empowered more than that of negatives. I don’t want to create a world of terror, failure, misery
We are all one. I’ve said it before, I’ve written it before, but it bears repeating. We are all one. We are all composed first and foremost of energy. Energy, which can neither be created nor destroyed, just transmuted from form to form. Beneath the skins of so many colors, under the genders we claim for ourselves, we are all made of exactly the same stuff. We are all one. This time of year for some is hugely joyous, while
I know that this time of year can be rough for many. For those of you struggling, I want you to know that you are NOT alone. We are all in this together. Each of us finds highs and lows with this season, but I recognize for many it’s particularly unpleasant. For those of you who feel that way, please know that you are not on your own. I know what it feels like to be depressed, sad, lonely and
While it’s important to focus on the here-and-now, and not get caught up in memories of yesterday and plans for tomorrow, it is also important to remain creative and imaginative. Creativity and imagination are the things that most set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Unlike the rest of the creatures crawling, swimming and flying around this planet, we have deep, incredible, miraculous powers of creativity. Sure, birds build nests and beavers construct elaborate damns that can
