Ironically, despite this idea of working with ourselves to help ourselves, people still seem easily inclined to give up their power, and turn to others to improve their lives. There are certainly plenty of times where we need the help of others. Doctors can treat illnesses and prescribe needed

It is not only spoken words, but written words we need to consider. For some reason, the semi-anonymity of posting online has caused people to be incautious and unkind with what they put out there. It takes very little for context to get skewed, or for someone to decide to stir a pot and create

This is not an act of selfishness. I repeat, THIS IS NOT SELFISH. Self-awareness and self-care are all-too-often taken for granted, or outright ignored. But not caring for ourselves or being aware of our thoughts, feelings, and actions disempowers our ability to create. When

As Marianne Williamson posits in her work Our Deepest Fear, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” In a later paragraph, she writes, “Your playing small / Does not serve the world.” Her concluding paragraph begins, “And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other

Some are tangible, material things like spiders, snakes, and heights. But the vast majority of what makes us feel afraid are the intangible, immaterial things. These include intimacy, success, failure, abandonment, wealth, and a vast number of feelings and emotions. Intangibles, maybe, but still impactful on our lives. The fear reflex in each of us is hardwired.

The technologies available to us, the things we have built and continue to build. Things considered impossible just a hundred years ago are commonplace today. This does not just apply to the material. Much of the immaterial we believe to be impossible, is not. It is just a

Knowing how little we know is extremely important. Why? Because there will always be something new to learn. There are new experiences to be had. New people to be met. How many languages do you speak? Do you know how to fence with a sword in each hand?
Only the now matters in the grand scheme of things. Yes, we can learn from the past and do things to prepare for the future…but this moment is the most real moment we will have. Only the now is the place of true reality. The actual, factual place where anything exists. Each individual moment, right here and right now, are where reality lives. My latest reading material has been Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment.
No two people think alike. As I ponder this notion, it occurs to me that if we recognized this fact, we could truly change the world for the better. If we embraced the differences in how we think, we’d better understand the world around us. Let’s look at the Big Picture. Those who hold artificial positions of power. And yes, I mean artificial. Those who lead our nations, our churches and temples, our businesses are in power because they have
One of the goals of Pathwalking is to enhance the things in life that make us feel joyful. I want to work on choosing the life I most desire to lead. Consciousness creates reality, and I want to choose the reality that brings me joy and happiness. This can be particularly challenging, especially in today’s society. We are bombarded every day with horrid, awful, ugly, unpleasant things. Terrible people, selfishness, greed, and a deluge of messages about lack and scarcity.
