The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
In response to a great deal of awful things from the start of this year, I want to share with you ten things in my personal life that are making me happy. While Valentine’s Day is my least favorite holiday, the message of love it conveys is worth spreading. Rather than keep it to one day designed to generate revenue for florists, chocolatiers and card companies, I think spreading love every day is a fine thing. Love begins with the
We are stronger when we work together than when we work apart. Pathwalking may be an individual act, but that does not mean it happens in a vacuum. Humans are social creatures. We have people whom we interact with every day on every imaginable level. Working with each other instead of against one another can take us even further than we might hope. Modern society has an unfortunate tendency to work from a divide-and-conquer approach. We are inundated with messages
Be kind to yourself. Give kindness to others. I am sitting here this morning, trying to come up with words for this post, and I have been doing my usual routine. I go to Facebook, I play a couple games, and I read through a bunch of posts. There are a lot of discouraging things going on out there. So much anger, so much fear, such unbelievable negativity. Is this really the world we want to live in? I don’t
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
Loss is a part of Pathwalking. Because life is ever changing, and because we are not static creatures, we will experience losses along our paths. Some are good for us, some less so. The hardest loss to take is that of a friend or loved one. When we lose people, grief is different for every one of us. In a society where we often look at the “norms”, how we grieve is one of those things that no two people
Community is important. Because human beings are social creatures, we seek out like-minded individuals to form communities with. This is where religious groups, civic organizations, and even nations come into being. People who share one or more interests/beliefs join together and form a community. We often look at this from a “big picture” sense. We live in a given community and such. What I am talking about in this instance is that which we choose to identify with, and what
I am worthy and deserving of awesomeness in my life. It’s interesting how often I need to remind myself of this. There have been many instances where I do not feel as though I deserve to have the things I desire in my life. Crossing the Bridges is the most personal of my weekly posts. I am exploring not only my philosophies and approaches to life, but my actual, factual life. In Positivity I pointed out that YOU are amazing!
Everybody likes to receive praise. When you do a thing, and you do it well, receiving praise for it feels amazing. It is incredibly empowering, and it serves as an affirmation of the choices you make along the way. For whatever reason, though, our modern society eschews praise. We have an almost surreal talent for criticism, but when it comes to praise, we seem to display something of an aversion to it. I suspect that one of the reasons for
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
Why did I start Pathwalking six years ago? When I decided that I needed to blog weekly, I came up with this idea. Pathwalking is the living, breathing process of using consciousness to create reality in order to manifest the life I most desire. Consciousness creates reality. How do I know this? Because I have done it. I know that when we are aware and totally present in the here-and-now, we can build our existence however we most desire for
