The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
It’s not that there always needs to be a fixed destination. Life is about the journey, after all, so it is certainly both logical and even necessary that from time to time you walk a path, but the goal is not wholly clear. Yes, it is important to have an idea, to have a plan. But sometimes there are days where you just are on the paths, walking along, and though you have an end goal in mind, it is
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
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
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,
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
Having faith is important. It is also equally important to have knowledge. Some people seem to believe that these concepts are mutually exclusive. To have faith means knowledge is unimportant, and vice versa. But we need faith to traverse the unknown, and we need knowledge to understand the experiences we have during this life. On the one hand, society has an obsession with grouping often diverse concepts together. For example, spirituality, morality and religion. Three separate tenets that are frequently
If you want to change the world, you have to begin with changing yourself. It is that simple, and of course at the same time that complicated. Change is challenging. I don’t want to call it hard, because really it’s not that hard to make change. But change IS challenging. Why? Because change is frequently a journey into the unknown. We take steps into unexplored territory, to places we have never been, maybe even never really dreamed about. Change is
We all experience things that cause us to have an immediate, negative emotional response. Last week I wrote about not holding onto that and letting it take hold of you. So, what are some means by which to cope with a negative emotional response? Everyone can employ something different, and there is of course no one true response. Also, situationally, different matters may call for a different response. Some options for releasing that immediate negative response could include meditation, crying,
