The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
I Am Not Normal I know it, embrace it, and love who it makes me as such. When my wife and I first began dating, I think it may have been the second date when she looked at me and said, “You are an unapologetic geek.” “Yup.” I had, long before, accepted how much of a geek I am. This has been a recurrent theme across my life. There was, of course, a time when I didn’t accept this aspect
Many limitations are artificial and can be overcome…but not all of them. For the most part, you are told that there are an overwhelming number of limitations in this life. In order to do ‘X’ or to be ‘Y’ you must come from money, have the right connections, be beautiful, or meet some other standards – or else you are limited. If you do not meet these standards you are unworthy and undeserving and the limitations will keep you down
Practicing mindfulness alone doesn’t always open the door to change old beliefs. One of the key elements of Pathwalking is using mindfulness to consciously create reality. Ergo, I am doing things to better myself and create the life I most desire to live. There are two super-frustrating things I cannot seem to get out of my head. These are my thought processes when it comes to money and when it comes to weight loss/body consciousness. Specifically, these are brain weasels
Anyone Can Show You a Path, But Only You Can Walk It It doesn’t matter what the choices are, the decision is yours and yours alone. I made a decision that I would choose my own path in this life. Though my choice has been imperfect, and I have stumbled and struggled along the way, I am still glad I made that decision. Why? Because I believe that I have taken control of my life. I am not just going
Four hundred weeks of Pathwalking – the passage of time can be surreal. Just before the start of 2012, I determined that I needed to write more. One way to do so would be to blog weekly. My blog website, The Ramblings of the Titanium Don, had been up since April of 2010. From time to time I was posting there, but not regularly. Determined to make a New Years’ Action, rather than a flabby, easily disregarded resolution, I chose
Go Confidently and Choose Your Path Confidence, real or an act, can have a massive impact on how you walk a given path. When you are walking a path that you have chosen in the process of Pathwalking, it is good to go confidently along the way. Whenever you are tentative and uncertain, it will have an impact on the work that you are doing. It will send a message to the Universe that you are not sure of the
Getting into your element involves finding and entering a positive place to recharge your mind, body, and spirit. Everyone has a place or places that they like to go to in order to reset. I am not talking about taking a trip or vacation, or even a huge amount of time. No, this is all about discovering your element and spending time there. What is an element? For me, my element tends to be the outdoors. I love hiking, the
You Will Walk More Than One Path Though it may seem daunting, this is a really good thing. When you are working with conscious reality creation and choosing a path for your life, it is important to recognize that there is not just more than one path, but that you will choose different paths at different times. But this is a very good thing. Why? Because what you desire for your life in your twenties is not going to be
Life is absurd. Recognizing the overall absurdity of life helps with understanding this. Do you ever pause and look at the world way outside of yourself and think, isn’t this bizarre –or-wtaf? People get all in a tizzy about variations in skin color, choices in lovers, which god/gods/goddesses to worship or not, invisible borders, civility, and basic human decency. It is just so crazy, so illogical, so…absurd. Then perhaps you look a little less far afield. The sun and clouds,
Nobody Can Be “On” All the Time Even when you are walking your chosen path, this includes you. Working on walking your own path in this life takes time and energy. A lot goes into the necessary mindfulness and positivity required to consciously create your reality. But for all that work, and with all the time and energy invested, you still need to take breaks and pause along the way. I know some people who seem to only ever have
