The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
Breaking the routine is hard. When you have set up habitual ways of doing things, it is tremendously difficult to change them. We don’t recognize all of our habitual behaviors as habits. When we think of habits, we think of things like smoking and drinking and chewing off our fingernails and so on. But any routine we do on a regular basis is a habit. Oftentimes, when we get stuck on the path we are trying to traverse, or having
Fear is like an obscuring mist, covering each step in uncertainty. Doubt, uncertainty, dis-ease, discomfort, anxiety are all specific manifestations of fear. Worst of all, they come from a most intangible and illusive fear. I have written quite a lot about fear. Both for Pathwalking and Positivity and even amongst my topical rants, fear is a subject I come back to rather frequently. Why? Because fear is one of the most pervasive driving forces of our modern society. Those in
Give up, change tactics, start over, or keep pushing on? Everybody experiences points where you realize that you have to choose. Give up the path you are on, change tactics for your approach to it, start a new approach to the path from the beginning, or keep pushing as you are. This can be a loaded issue, because there are pros and cons to all four options. Only you can decide which is going to be best in the given
Crossing the bridges is only possible when you start taking steps. I intend to become a best-selling author. While I write several different things in different genres, one of the intents of this particular blog is determining better ways to traverse bridges between these writing styles. However, in many respects, the first bridge I need to cross is between the life I currently have to the life that I actually want to have. I have written it before, and I
Writing makes me feel good. It doesn’t seem to matter what I write. It can be words for business, it could be web content, it could be this blog, or it could be my next great work of fantasy. Whatever it is, writing grounds me, centers me, makes me feel good and opens the channels of creative energy. Not everyone is a writer. But everyone has a thing, or even more than one thing, that produces this sort of feeling.
I speak less highly of myself than anyone else. I am my own worst critic. Always have been. Know how that feels? You always manage to find something to be critical about? The one person you criticize the most, whom you give the absolute least amount of slack to being you? I know that this does me no good. If my plans are not completed or I get distracted or I fail to do as planned, I can count on
The squirrels in my brain can be terribly distracting. What does that mean? When I am thinking about something, I frequently see not only the angle I wish to take, but alternative angles, results both good and bad, and all kinds of possibilities. Because of this, I frequently find it difficult to manifest precisely what I wish to. I woke up the other morning feeling anxious. I realized what it was that was causing me to feel anxious, but even
Surrendering to the Universe is not easy. If, like me, you are almost obsessed with the how and why of things, then simply surrendering to the Universe is a particularly loaded concept. It gets even more complicated if you are a skeptic or cynic. What does it mean to surrender? It means you have to have faith. This, too, can be a really loaded concept. We are frequently seeing around us people who are allowing their so-called “faith” to dictate
Change is complicated. First, it is imperative to acknowledge this statement: CHANGE IS INEVITABLE. Things change, because that is the nature of the Universe. Because time is an illusion, how we perceive change varies. Some change is quick and hard to miss. Some is so glacially slow that we don’t realize that change is happening at all. But everything changes, whether animal, vegetable or mineral. Everything evolves, shifts, and transforms. The desert was once a sea. Seeds grow into plants.
How do you find the line between being informed, and being overwhelmed by information? This is the question I find myself contending with fairly regularly of late. Given all that is happening both in the USA and around the world, I find I need to remain informed, and keep in the know. However, there are so, so many things happening that this quickly becomes overwhelming. World news can be pretty crazy, but all the insane political actions happening in America
