The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Power is an illusion. Most of those who are “in power” have either assumed it, been granted it, or otherwise had it conferred upon them in some form or other. Yet in reality, it is not real. The idea of power is what generates it, and it is a complete and utter intangible. There is a difference between power and empowerment. Empowerment may also be intangible, but it is feeling. Because it involves feeling, it carries with it a greater
Positivity can seem pretty superficial in the face of reality. This has made writing this particularly difficult for me today. My government is doing something truly awful, and while on the one hand I feel powerless to do anything about this, I will not be quiet and ignore it, either. And it is infuriating. Pardon the interruption, but I am going to state this right now. We cannot stand for this disgusting action on the part of the US government.
I’m tired of struggling with this feeling. Deep in the pit of my heart there is this ever-present sense of dread. It is utterly and completely fear-based, and no matter how often I address it in meditation, I can’t completely shake it. Why am I so fearful of this? What is it that I am afraid of? This is the question I have been asking myself as I have entered into my daily meditation for the last few days. What
Words matter. The words we say matter. But what matters more are the words we think. In especial, those we think frequently, and those we use in reference to ourselves. Most of us are thinking constantly. Hell, for a lot of us, the very notion of turning off our brains seems totally impossible. One of the reasons why meditation is so healthy is because when we meditate it’s one of the few times we can stop the chatter. However, since
I deserve all the good things I desire. Over the last several months I have had a mantra I have recited with much frequency. I am abundant and prosperous. I am a good person, worthy and deserving of abundance, prosperity, success, wealth and joy. Succeed or fail, I am supported and I am loved. Taking an online course offered by Jen Sincero, author if my favorite self-help book, You Are A Badass, she calls this creation a Mantra of Mightiness.
Today will be what we make of it. Whether you begin your day feeling refreshed or sleepy; excited or anxious; with apprehension or confidence – today will be what you and I make it out to be. It is easy to forget that each day brings about something new. Yes, there are routines to every single day of our lives. We wake, we do stuff, we sleep. Frequently, we simply allow the day to just happen. We do not accept
Keeping an optimistic outlook is anything but a weakness. In today’s society, we have a lot of ugly, unpleasant things that get our attention. Further, we are frequently told that it is important that we “be realistic”, and keep low expectations. Keep your head down, go to work, do the things, go home. Dreamers are often scorned or shunned for believing that there is more to this life. We frequently look at people with a sunny disposition or optimistic outlook
Thought is one of the main driving forces of the Universe. Everything that ever was, currently is, or ever shall be begins with thought. Somewhere there was an idea that led to a feeling from which action was taken. Thus is reality as we know it made manifest. There are certain aspects of our reality that are completely universal. The sun, moon and stars, air, water, earth, and so on. But even these can be altered by thought. There are
Choosing what changes we make for our lives is a key goal of Pathwalking. The entire cosmos is in a constant state of change. I think probably one of the only constants in the universe is that everything changes, constantly. Human nature seeks stability. We like to know who we are, where we are, and what we are. As such, there is resistance to change, which can even get pretty violent at times. Yet no matter how much we want
When we are mindful of our thoughts, feelings and actions, we can walk any path. The key to doing this is to work on spending more time in the here-and-now. When we are mindful of where we are, at this very moment, we empower ourselves to best walk the paths for the lives we desire. Mindfulness is awareness. When we are aware, we have control. Pathwalking is about taking control of the life we lead, so being mindful is imperative
