The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
The question of “when will then be now” is not uncommon along a given path. The other night, we were watching Mel Brooks’ Spaceballs. There is a fantastic scene in the movie where Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) and Col. Sanders (George Wyner) – while searching for the protagonists – turn to Spaceballs: The Video Tape to find them. During this scene, confused by seeing themselves “now” on the video screen, They have the following exchange. “Everything that happens now is
If not now, when will you decide it’s time to experience life for all it has to offer? We all get one shot at this specific life experience. Whether active or passive, we experience life every single day. That’s comprised of, Everything that you think, do, intend, and feel. All that happens to you – inside or outside your control – is part of your life experience. The people, places, and things you interact with are elements of your life
Whether it was good or bad, yesterday has come and gone. When I write about yesterday, I’m not necessarily referring to the day before today. Yesterday, in this context, is mostly referring to the past. Many people get stuck in their lives because of the past. Things great and small, personal and impersonal hold them back. Some yearn for a return to yesterday – while others would like nothing better than to recreate the past the same in the future.
Along any given path it’s easy to trip over how It’s been a decade since I began to seek, find, and walk my chosen path. This has occurred in fits and starts, with some success here and achievement there. But there is one hurdle, one obstacle that still tends to trip me up. How. Further, this gets complicated by walking the line of reality as it is now versus as it could be via conscious reality creation. I know where
As you traverse your paths in life, who stands by you both matters – and doesn’t. Introverts or extroverts, human beings are social creatures. Some people need the energy and connection – literal and figurative – of others in their lives frequently. Some people need that same energy far less often. But it’s a fact of life and human nature that we’re social and need at least SOME interaction and connection. When I began to be more authentic in how
Past, present, and future exist at the same time – and the positivity inherent in that is amazing. It’s taken me a long time to come to grips with this truth. But time, as we perceive it, is an utter and total illusion. The late, great, Albert Einstein had some definitive thoughts on this matter. “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” Yes, there is a progression of the passage of time in the
Intentional change is a matter of breaking new ground. Every day is a new day. Cliché, right? That doesn’t make it any less true. Every single day of your life is different from the day before. To be fair, many days are similar. But that doesn’t mean they’re the same. Because they aren’t. It has taken me a long time to reconcile this. For years, I was always looking ahead from today to tomorrow – while also chewing on past
While my perspective has changed throughout my life, I still need a change of perspective today. It is all too easy to look at what you do not have. The things that you have not yet accomplished, the ongoing processes and insufficient results, and on and on. Despite my philosophy and conscious reality creation work, I still find myself looking at what I haven’t got yet. For example – I’m still not earning the kind of money I believe that
The impermanence of everything is the key to change for the best. This has been a difficult year. Lots of people have decided that history is likely to remember 2020 as a dumpster fire. And let’s face it – that’s not wrong. I don’t need to get into the specifics – again – because I’m sure that the most withdrawn hermit out there is aware. Uncertainty and fear are dominating everything. Fortunately, this is not how it will be forever.
You have more power over time than you realize. Despite the labels we put on time – it is almost entirely made up of individual perceptions. That’s why an hour doing something dull and unpleasant can seem to stretch on interminably while an hour doing something you enjoy can seem to pass in an instant. That’s the reality of time. It’s not the seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and similar specifics we give to it. Time in its most pure
