The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
This is one of those weeks where composing this is particularly difficult. There is no single reason why, there is no overriding issue causing me stress or displeasure or any other particular negative emotions. I am just having a hard time finding a topic. Perhaps it is time for a little reflection, then. I began Pathwalking as part of a New Year’s action. I was determined that rather than make an empty resolution, easily forgotten and broken, I needed to
How do you Pathwalk in the face of cynicism and skepticism? These two concepts are often confused and mixed, but still amount to much the same thing. In the simplest of terms, a cynic does not believe in selflessness, whereas a skeptic questions the factuality of a given thing. Given today’s society, it should come as no surprise that these two notions are so prevalent, and that they are easy to confuse. And when it comes to Pathwalking I can
Everyone is walking a path. The difference between a self-identified Pathwalker and anyone else is choice. Someone practicing Pathwalking is choosing their life, choosing the trail they will journey upon. Everyone is on some kind of path. Everyone moves along in their life, whether they are living life for themselves or letting life live them. All of us will have three identical experiences in the world we occupy. Birth. Life. Death. The where and how of birth will vary, but
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
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
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
Manifestation can be quite the paradox. On the one hand it is astoundingly simple. On the other hand, it is intricately complex. It is in fact both. I believe, however, that the hardest part of manifestation is the basic idea of what it is you want. I know that a lot of people see this hooky-spooky bs. New-agey mumbo-jumbo. However, I have first-hand experience with making this actually work, and I know that it is more than just possibility, but
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,
Showing vulnerability is not weakness. Everybody is vulnerable. It does not matter who you are, what you have gone through in this life, what experiences you have had. Everybody has vulnerabilities. This is simply a part of human nature. We all have something that makes us vulnerable, and it is something different for each and every one of us. What does vulnerable mean, anyhow? Dictionary.com defines it as such: adjective 1.capable of or susceptible to being wounded or hurt, as by a weapon: a vulnerable part of the body. 2.open to moral attack, criticism, temptation, etc.: an argument vulnerable to refutation; He is vulnerable to bribery. 3. (of a place) open to assault; difficult to defend: a vulnerable bridge. Capable of being attacked
