Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Seek things that can put you in the zone. What is the zone? The zone is that place where you are in perfect harmony with the universe. You aren’t thinking, you are just being. Whatever you might be doing while in the zone is often effortless, seems impossibly easy, and is immensely positive. A lot of different references to the idea of the zone have been made throughout history. Miyamoto Musashi in his Book of Five Rings referred to the
Meditation can do a lot of good. We live in a world of almost endless noise. Everywhere we turn we are inundated with information, with calls for help, action, and choices to be made. People often can’t just be content with the sounds of nature and carry music or employ some other distraction. Noise everywhere. Mediation is often misunderstood. The word alone, for many, conjures images of people sitting cross-legged, palms up, chanting “Om” repeatedly. This is a valid form
We live in an amazing time. We have the technology to communicate across the globe instantly. We have miniature computers we carry around on our persons that began life as portable cellular telephones. We have cars that can stop themselves, and are equipped with cameras and indicators for blindspots. We have produce year-round from every climate in our grocery stores. Right now we are being bombarded by fear of all the change that this technology represents. There are people who

Everybody wants to have fun. What I consider fun you might not, and what you consider fun I might not. But so long as my fun does not interfere with your fun, and vice versa, what’s wrong with anything we are doing in the name of fun? Yes, of course there are exceptions to this. If you find fun in doing things that hurt other people, or humiliate them, or otherwise hinders their life, that’s not cool. Fun at the

We should celebrate our sameness more. The things that make us all similar, our basic humanity and our universal desires for love and happiness, are not something to be ignored. These things that we all share are amazing, and we should celebrate them. We need to deemphasize our differences and the things that divide us, and make a bigger deal about our commonalities. There is tremendous positivity in unity and in our sameness. We put too great importance on physical

All of us, as individuals, are independent of thought, of action, and of feeling. No one
In the now we are in control of our own feelings, thoughts and actions. Right now, at this very moment, I can choose how I want to feel. I get to choose if I want to worry about future events or reminisce about past events. I get to choose, right now, what I want to think about. I choose my actions at this moment. Society obsesses with both the past and the future. We think of the past that times
Welcome to another Monday. Yes, the weekend is over. How do you choose to face the work week? This is so much more within our control than we realize. Since we are each in control of our own emotional state, as such we each get to choose how we will face the day, and that can totally set the tone for how we face the coming week. I know some of the arguments that can made against this perspective. It’s
