'Intention' Articles
We all have genuine intention. Intention is the way of your spirit. It’s the spiritual life path in its essence. You may express that in any of an infinite variety of ways, but it’s still the same thing. It is like people have two drivers, the mind and the spirit. But ultimately, it’s the spirit that has the final say, because it had the first say. It will have the say about what comes after this life as well.
We have a will to live, a will to wake, a will to love. But our true intentions go beyond just our biological needs. We have a will to see things in the world. A will to grow more in harmony with the world and the people we love. We have a will to peace.
“It is not good enough for things to be planned – they still have to be done; for the intention to become a reality, energy has to be launched into operation.” Walt Kelly (American Cartoonist notable for his comic strip Pogo. 1913-1973)
“Concentrated attention is the collection of units of power on a chosen point of intention.” James Arthur Ray
What Is Intention?
First. What is intention, friends? To intend is to know you will do something. How often do we actually know that we will do something? As you know, the road to hell is filled with good intentions. Indeed. Actually, peoples ideas of intention are often misguided. Intention is a lie? Because you can’t cross a bridge until you come across one. You can’t know what is on the other side until you are there and facing it. This is true. Perhaps intention is focus? Well… It’s visible in focus, yes. How many people seem to actually control their focus? I… Seek More
Thoughts Vs Intentions
To lack intention is to feel adrift. Even in all the getting you might be doing, you will feel like you have nothing. It’s a popular idea in new age thinking that you never fail at anything. They have a lot of hand waving and supposed insights, but no actual explanations. We can discuss an explanation today. A rhetoric pie with no filling. Now comes the chocolate pudding. You do never fail. What do you think failure is? I don’t have a clue. Excellent. It’s not a helpful idea to have. In Hawaiian culture, we don’t have a word for… Seek More
Your Ultimate Intention
Do you intend to be right or do you intend to be happy? If you intend to be right, you will be wrong. If you intend to be happy, you will be whole. Some people just have to be right all the time, why is that? They’re never happy, because they can never relax. They are hard core adherents of conventional thinking. They really believe the line of crap we are fed on, and they want to listen to their head and not their heart. You can not effectively ignore your feelings. Even science has proven it’s an ultimate impossibility.… Seek More
Final Say
I find people often say they had to make a decision for me. Is this really what they did? No. They do think they did though. What they did is ignore a path you were on. They didn’t see that they could choose that. They gave me two options, but I couldn’t choose one. When people give you two options, they have really given you no options. Things usually resolve themselves if you put off making a decision long enough. And yes, the world is whole and very functional. You will only experience problems when you don’t want to take… Seek More
Life Is About Intention
My name is Travis. Travis means gate keeper, or man of the cross roads. My Mom chose it intuitively. It does seem to be my purpose to bring us to this gate. I don’t make people choose, but I do something “evil”. When you see that you have the choice, you can’t go away and pretend you didn’t make it. People hate that, but it’s the most precious gift I have to offer anyone, and well… The gate isn’t going anywhere. We all will pass in time. Maybe only after many lives. It’s a free world and yours to choose.… Seek More
