The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
How clear is your vision? This is the question I have been contending with for a while now. It is, to some degree, due to a lack of clarity in my vision and my end goals that I find myself not achieving them as I most desire. Part of my problem is that I sometimes want to hedge my bets. I have a Plan A, a Plan B, and maybe even a Plan C. The best part is, none of
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
I believe that the key to happiness is living in the now. This is particularly challenging, because our society is rather fond of living in the then and living for tomorrow. I have goals and aspirations. One of the reasons I began this portion of my blog was to explore how to live and work in all the worlds I do. I need to cross between separate aspects of my life, different forms of writing, my social life and my
Why does anyone want to be wealthy? What is wealth? American society, at least, has long believed in the idea that you can pull yourself up by your bootstraps, rise to the top and make yourself into a rich, successful individual if you just work hard enough. Put your nose to the grindstone, work your ass off, and viola, you will be successful and rich. Wealth, however, is a much broader topic. Being wealthy is not achieved by counting the
Like many things in life, health comes in three forms. Physical, mental, and spiritual. It is extremely important that there be balance between these forms. We frequently do not recognize this, and the price we pay is amazingly high. As I am striving to create the life I most want, I need to take more time in addressing these. Let’s start with the one I have down, I believe, the best. Spiritual. My spiritual health is good. I know who
One of the hardest questions for many people to answer is – what do you want? For some, the reason this is difficult is because of fear that if they answer wrong, they’ll be unhappy with the outcome. For some, there are many things they want and that is causing them to waffle. For some they sincerely do not know what they want. However, in all probability, it’s some combination of all of the above. Decision making can be surprisingly
Mind over matter. I am constantly seeking new and better ways to get control over my mental and emotional state. I know, from the ever-increasing number of books I have read on the subject, that to truly manifest anything I want, I have to absolutely focus on it, without fear or doubt. I have had success at this process a few times. I know why, I know how…and yet I struggle to succeed regularly. Why? Because I let my inner
Sometimes keeping things in your head is exhausting. I am a thinker. I am constantly thinking about things, great and small, major and minor, important and less so. From food I want to eat to world situations to speculation about the next Star Wars movie to finances, I am constantly thinking. The problem with constantly thinking is that I am frequently finding darker thoughts clouding my emotions. When you start to let negative emotions dominate, you wind up having a
Carl Jung stated, “What you resist persists.” This was talking about avoiding or denying aspects of the self, but it is still completely applicable to consciousness creating reality, and overly focusing on what you do not want. One of the important aspects of Pathwalking in Practice is awareness. What am I aware of right now? Beyond that, and possibly more importantly, what am I thinking about right now? Subconsciously, we may be chewing on something we read, we may be
One of the reasons why this blog is titled “Crossing the Bridges” is because of the vastly different styles of writing I work with. I can, however, break down pretty much all of my work into three distinct styles/genres. These posts, as well as Pathwalking and Positivity, fall under what I refer to as self-help philosophy. My fantasy series, my Steampunk series and all my other imaginative works fall under fiction. Beyond that, there is the business related writing and
