The Ramblings of the Titanium Don
Explorations of Conscious Reality Creation, Mindfulness, and Other Matters
This week I continue to work with Pathwalking in Practice. Last week I broke down the three means I believe everyone lives their life by: letting life live you, curling up in a ball and waiting to die or living the life you want. Pathwalking is a means to the end of living the life I want to live the most, and has evolved into a self-help philosophy I believe I can do more with, for myself and for others.
Life is full to overflowing of little things. These little things are day-to-day items, occurrences, people, places and things that build up positivity. They are many, they are varied, and all too often they are taken for granted. The little things are things that bring us moments of contentment, of joy, of peace. They make us focus on the moment, forget the overarching world situation. They are of far more power and import than we realize, and they can help
With the start of this new year, I want to begin working on a new aspect of Pathwalking. Tentatively, this will be called Pathwalking in Practice. Pathwalking in Practice is setting up actionable items in order to better work on conscious reality creation. What is an actionable item? The things you do to actually walk the path you are choosing. Everything we choose begins at the same point. There is a thought, an idea, an inspiration. Something you read opens
What do you expect for the New Year? Expectation is a reflection of your mindset, whether positive or negative. If you are expecting good, exciting, fun and awesome things, you’re thinking positively. If you are expecting bad, depressing, bothersome, terrible things, you are thinking negatively. If consciousness creates reality, and I firmly believe that it does, then expectation of positives needs to be empowered more than that of negatives. I don’t want to create a world of terror, failure, misery
This has been an interesting year. In some respects this goes with the Chinese curse of “May you live in interesting times”. In some respects it has simply been full of odd and unusual, fascinating things. In some respects it has just been interesting as opposed to uninteresting…and in some ways it’s very much Joss Whedon’s definition from Serenity: Mal: “Define interesting?” Wash: “Oh god oh god we’re all going to die?” Much of the latter is due to the
We are all one. I’ve said it before, I’ve written it before, but it bears repeating. We are all one. We are all composed first and foremost of energy. Energy, which can neither be created nor destroyed, just transmuted from form to form. Beneath the skins of so many colors, under the genders we claim for ourselves, we are all made of exactly the same stuff. We are all one. This time of year for some is hugely joyous, while
This is where it all began, five years ago: How can I make a difference? This question comes up for me fairly often. I want to help other people see the world in the way that I see it. NOT in a ‘my way is the one true way’ idea at all. On the contrary – I want people to disagree with me. I want them to consider these words, and reject them if they disagree. I want them to
I know that this time of year can be rough for many. For those of you struggling, I want you to know that you are NOT alone. We are all in this together. Each of us finds highs and lows with this season, but I recognize for many it’s particularly unpleasant. For those of you who feel that way, please know that you are not on your own. I know what it feels like to be depressed, sad, lonely and
There is a difference between being influenced by outside forces, and getting assistance from them. For some people this is not an easy distinction to make, but it’s a very important one. We are constantly surrounded by outside influences. Most of the social media sites are a part of this. They are striving for our attention, they want us to do and think and feel certain ways, which may or may not be compatible with what we REALLY want to
While it’s important to focus on the here-and-now, and not get caught up in memories of yesterday and plans for tomorrow, it is also important to remain creative and imaginative. Creativity and imagination are the things that most set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Unlike the rest of the creatures crawling, swimming and flying around this planet, we have deep, incredible, miraculous powers of creativity. Sure, birds build nests and beavers construct elaborate damns that can
