Crossing the Bridges: The Illusion of Time

Where does the time go when it’s not around here? Ever feel like you are always chasing time?  Like no matter what you do, there is seldom enough or it runs out or expires or what-have-you? Of course, it doesn’t help that time is completely and totally subjective.  The great scientist Albert Einstein famously said, “Time is an illusion.”  Douglas Adams even expanded upon that in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy with “Time is an illusion.  Lunchtime doubly so.”

Consciousness creates reality. I write that a lot.  Why?  Because this is the truth. Consciousness creates our reality.  What we concentrate on, give thought and feeling and energy and action to, we create.  We manifest things into our life, and we build or destroy our personal world. I know that for a lot of people this seems like total BS.  We live in a world that seems to be beyond our control.  We didn’t manifest our debts, our illnesses, the

Crossing the Bridges: Self Promotion vs Narcissism

There is a fine line between narcissism and self-promotion. The former is when absolutely everything is all about YOU, and in no way beneficial to anyone else.  A narcissist practically screams, “Look at me! LOOK AT ME!  See the things I am doing?  Pay attention to me!” The latter is somewhat about you, but it is also about sharing.  There is some benefit for other people.  A self-promoter says, “Hey, I did this thing.  Please take a look at it.

Decide to decide. I cannot tell you how many times in my life I have found myself at some crossroads or other because I refused to decide to decide. Decision making is only challenging if you choose for it to be so. For a lot of my life, I was the King of Indecision.  I totally should have bought myself a crown. When I made the decision to take action for the New Year, nearly five years ago now, it

Crossing the Bridges: Life in Multiple Worlds

I feel as if I live in multiple worlds sometimes. See if this is familiar for you in any way. First, there is Professional Me.  I hold a job, I pay my bills, I do the necessary things one does to live in this society.  I also happen to be involved in civics, as I serve as President of a local Chamber of Commerce. Second, there is Author Me.  I keep this blog, I write and edit novels.  I constantly

How do you want to feel? This is an important question I do not think we ask of ourselves enough.  Not only do we not ask of ourselves, How do I feel?  But neither do we ask, How do I want to feel? It is easy to forget that when all is said and done, I and I alone am responsible for how I feel.  Period. Whether or not I feel good or bad, happy or sad, anxious or excited,

Crossing the Bridges: Introduction

I am something of a modern Renaissance Man. First and foremost, I am a writer. Almost five years ago I began Pathwalking.  This is my personal philosophy on how to choose my own destiny, so that I might live the life I most desire to have. I started Positivity more than two-and-a-half years ago.  One Monday morning all I saw was lamentation for the new week, and a deluge of negative posts across social media.  So I decided that I

Everything is energy. At its core, in its simplest, most elegant form every single thing you can see, touch, taste, and smell is energy.  Every one of us, no matter our skin color, ethnicity, gender or other chosen identifier is energy. The earth, the sun, the other planets in the solar system and everything, absolutely everything, is comprised of energy.  Both science and spirituality agree on this point, though they might use different phraseology to explain it. Since every single

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
