The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Life is only as complicated as we choose to make it. Last week I began to explore the many ways we move far away from the relatively simple things we actually want for our lives. For most people, these include finding love, peace, joy and feeling good. Previously I postulated that as children we instinctively understand this, but as we grow and develop we start to add layers and steps and these things get complicated. What are some ways in
Life is only as complicated as we choose to make it. The human race has this incredible obsession with complicating our lives. We create these impossible goals and lofty ambitions, and reject the relatively simple things we all want. Everybody wants to love and be loved. Everybody wants to find joy and peace. Everybody wants to feel good. Yes, I recognize these are pretty massive generalizations, but that doesn’t make them any less true. I know some people appear to
Having faith is important. It is also equally important to have knowledge. Some people seem to believe that these concepts are mutually exclusive. To have faith means knowledge is unimportant, and vice versa. But we need faith to traverse the unknown, and we need knowledge to understand the experiences we have during this life. On the one hand, society has an obsession with grouping often diverse concepts together. For example, spirituality, morality and religion. Three separate tenets that are frequently
If you want to change the world, you have to begin with changing yourself. It is that simple, and of course at the same time that complicated. Change is challenging. I don’t want to call it hard, because really it’s not that hard to make change. But change IS challenging. Why? Because change is frequently a journey into the unknown. We take steps into unexplored territory, to places we have never been, maybe even never really dreamed about. Change is
We all experience things that cause us to have an immediate, negative emotional response. Last week I wrote about not holding onto that and letting it take hold of you. So, what are some means by which to cope with a negative emotional response? Everyone can employ something different, and there is of course no one true response. Also, situationally, different matters may call for a different response. Some options for releasing that immediate negative response could include meditation, crying,
Ultimately, when it comes to how I feel, I am the only one who has any say. For a lot of people, this seems hard to believe, I don’t doubt. Why? Because things happen that elicit an emotional response we have no control over. Which is not true. I agree that things happen that cause an emotional response. Yes, we get into car accidents, we spill food on our clothes, we get hurt by someone we love, we do something
It’s that time of the year again. As you are reading this, I am on vacation. I wanted to look back and see what I wrote last year at this time. That, in turn, led me to read what I had written the previous year during this same week. I didn’t stop there. I paused and took a quick look back to all of my previous Pathwalks that were posted while I was on my annual vacation. This year is
I frequently write about energy. I believe that everything, at its core, is energy. That is the center of the Universe, that is the point of origin for all. We begin and end as energy, neither created nor destroyed, frequently transmuted. Over the past half a year plus, I have been working to meditate more frequently. Why? Because meditation is the ultimate means to connect to source energy. What is source energy? Source energy is pure energy in the air,
While you, and you alone, can choose and walk a given path, you don’t necessarily need to do so on your own. The key is to know the difference between allowing someone to offer guidance, advice and help versus control, obstruction and discouragement. Nobody knows everything. Plain and simple, nobody knows everything. Because that’s the case, everyone needs to seek help, advice and assistance from time to time. While we may each have our own expertise, there will always be
My path is good for me, but probably not for you. As we are not in competition, I would be happy to help you along your path in whatever way I can. Competition is a fine thing in certain respects. My baseball team versus your team, track stars running for the best time, fencers fighting to best one another, and for that matter most competitive sports. Competition in the everyday, for the most part, is unhealthy. This is not just
