Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Do you take the easy path, or do you challenge yourself? This is an interesting question because I think a lot of people misinterpret the phrase “challenge yourself”. People sometimes want to do a difficult and complex thing because it is challenging, not because they actually have the desire to do it. How do you define challenging yourself? This idea is when you have something you are passionate about, but it may be a new or different approach, or it
Sometimes it seems like a chore, but there is nothing like cleaning to create a more positive environment. When you clear away the clutter, vacuum up the dirt, dust the shelves, whatever you do to clean your space, it changes the feeling. That change can create a huge amount of positivity. I find that when I let my space go; when the clutter on my desk becomes a precarious stack of paper and and books and stuff – I find
When you are traveling upon your path, you should do so with confidence. Confidence is not just applicable to emotion, but also to thought and action. You can think, feel and act confident, and it is important to recognize the subtle differences between these three forces. This is a complex concept, in especial as it’s not simply emotional, intellectual, or physical, but covers all three of these fundamentals. For people who have issues with self esteem, this a particularly difficult
There is great power in both helping, and allowing yourself to be helped. Some people see needing assistance as a weakness. They see needing other people to do whatever it is they are trying to do as a sign of failure. But the truth is, we need people. What’s more, there are going to be times when we need help from people. Further, there are times when giving aid is equally important. I don’t know anybody who can do everything.
How do you remain optimistic and focused on the path in the face of injustice? When you see that the world seems to be going mad, and the bliss of ignorance seems to be reigning supreme, how do you keep at it? The short answer is – you simply do. You have a path. You have made a choice. Keep at it. The longer answer is – some days it feels as though nothing you do will matter. You watch
They say that Pride goeth before the fall. Certainly being prideful and boastful and over-the-top can be a huge generator of negativity. However, in moderation, a little pride is a positive thing. We have become so enamored of the mediocre and equality for everyone that we are loathe to take pride in a job well done. We have to be more humble than proud when we accomplish or achieve something. We have to be wary of the perception of others.
Completion of a project is a wonderful feeling. You may or may not have a deadline, but when you have a project you are putting your heart and soul into, getting it done feels wonderful. When you are under pressure, and you have a job that needs to be completed, it can be a stressful situation. Not necessarily negative, but its possible that it lacks in positive, too. But when it is finished…when the end is in sight, and you
What are you passionate about? Passion takes on many forms, far beyond the notions of love and relationships and sex. Passion is a driving force, it is something that drives us to try new things, to explore creative pathways, and to live a life beyond the mundane and every day. Many of us fall into a pretty set routine. Awaken, go to work, come home, spend some time with family or friends or otherwise in some form of relaxation, go
Negativity is a fact of life. Without negativity, we cannot experience positivity. While it is important to find positivity and to feel positive as you go through life, denying the existence of the negative is an unhealthy option. There are always extremes and extremists in the world. Good and evil, light and dark, tall and short, old and young, and so on and so forth. Most of us will live between the extremes, in the grey area, the middle ground,
I have often written about how important emotion is to Pathwalking. You cannot simply choose to think through what you want to manifest in your life, you have to feel it. If you cannot put the feeling behind the thought, and then add corresponding action, you will more-or-less turn about in a circle. It is an absolute necessity that you not only think and take action to choose your path, but you also feel your way along it. If you
