The Philosophy of Pathwalking
What is Pathwalking? Allow me to introduce you to my personal philosophy.
When I first began to write about this idea, it was just meant to be a weekly post to my blog. I needed a topic, so I decided to begin to write about how I seek to make my own way in life.
The name Pathwalking came about for two reasons. First, because of the idea that life is an ongoing journey, so you blaze a trail (or else create or follow a path/paths) along the way. Second, to reference the notion of a walkabout.
The walkabout is a rite of passage of the indigenous people of Australia. A young man makes a traditional spiritual transition to adulthood by living in the wilderness for as long as half a year. While the term is sometimes used in a derogatory way, I reference it for the spiritual journey of discovery that it represents.
Pathwalking boils down to making choices and decisions to live life on your own terms. You take paths to goals you want to achieve, but along the way learn about many things, both enormous and minuscule.
Consciousness creates reality
Over time, the primary focus of Pathwalking became conscious reality creation.
What does that mean? Let me break it down for you:
What is consciousness? It is your awareness, your senses, your thoughts, and feelings. Consciousness is perception, recognition, knowledge. This is arguably what makes each of us who we are.
What is reality? Without getting into a really deep philosophical debate on the subject, this is your perception of your life. When it comes to reality this is the tangibles such as people and things you encounter, as well as intangibles like oxygen, subatomic particles, Universal energy, and the like. Reality is how you perceive existence, substance, actuality. This is the world you live in, at least based on your perceptions of it.
What does it mean to create? This is building, constructing, making a thing become real. Whether it is a mathematical theory, a car, or a new philosophy, you are a creator. Creation includes conceiving, designing, inventing, producing. This is the process you use to build things that are both material and immaterial on many different levels.
