INTENTION – Your Power Source

We seldom stop to think about our base level intentions in our day to day actions. Most of the time we are floating on the surface of life unaware of the depths below us, doing what we should do based on what society dictates is appropriate. However, a powerful intention for a purposeful life on every level is stored deep within each of us. We usually suppress and/or ignore its leadings because they aren’t necessarily in sync with what we think we should be feeling or doing.
We have been programmed since early childhood to think and act in certain ways. We go along with this program to avoid hassles, confrontations and conflict. We are unaware of the cost we are paying for this artificial comfort zone. We don’t realize that every emotion is stored in our body. Our subconscious mind records and stores every thought and emotion forever. If that thought and/or emotion is in harmony with our core intention it enhances our mood, our health and our environment.
However, if it is out of alignment, or just downright toxic, it tears down our cell structures, dampens our mood and contaminates our environment. Since we don’t observe this destruction at the moment it is occurring, we don’t connect the dots. But then a few days later, we get sick, have an accident, or fight with a loved one, etc. What we think are our good intentions are backfiring. We don’t realize we aren’t acting from our true intentions.
No one ever taught us that our very first priority in life was to know ourselves and set our intentions to live in integrity to that inner wisdom. We are all unique, magnificent creations with equally unique gifts to give the world, but most of us die with our song still in us. Our educational systems are geared to conformity with a single standard for all. We weren’t encouraged to be rugged individualists growing up. After all, they are much harder to manage and control.
But now as more and more information is being discovered as to how the mind and body work, and how we can access our subconscious mind; we have some tools to rewrite our powerless conformity programs and come into alignment with our true intention for our life. Knowledge is power. Knowing you are not your programs is the first step to breaking free of them. We each need to know our unique purpose for being here. Without a vision the people perish, Proverbs states. We can see ourselves and others perishing from lack of purposeful intention.
Intention clears our vision. It enables us to see what action to take that will be in alignment with our purpose in life. When confronted with a conflict, we can ask ourselves what our core intention for the situation is. Then we can act in a way that will lead to a resolution that is in harmony with that intention.
For example, if two friends have a fight, but the core intention of each one is to retain and nurture the relationship, then they will be able to find an agreeable resolution. However, if one doesn’t intend in their heart to keep the relationship; then no amount of negotiations, capitulations or apologies will work. Intention is the glue that keeps us together.
Intention is based on truth because it resides in the heart. Our mind may convince us we intend one thing, but we find ourselves doing another. We must be willing to examine our heart for the truth about ourselves in order to know ourselves. It is the intention of our heart to love ourselves because that is the only way we can ever love another. It is the intention our heart to do what is the right thing in every situation based on the Law of Love.
Every time we catch ourselves in unloving, disrespectful thoughts about ourselves or another, we know instantly we are out of alignment with our core intention to live from our heart with love. In that moment we can choose a different thought and be true to ourselves. Our unique purpose and accompanying gifts will emerge and blossom as we clear out and delete the corrupting programming. Then we can know first-hand the power of intention.
A Higher Calling

In reality we are all just little kids in big bodies. It is even more obvious that this is so around an election season. The competition seems to pull out the ‘terrible two” in everyone. Unlike our playgrounds or nursery schools, these political playgrounds have no rules or adult supervision. It’s a free-for-all.
I think that human beings were created to grow and mature into compassionate creators like the Creator. This would be the highest calling. But upon observation of the world stage and its seven billion players, it doesn’t appear we have progressed past the first act.
What has gone wrong? How did we digress or devolve into such a sorry state of criticism, judgment and condemnation? We use our precious gift of language to bludgeon each other. We have had visitations of magnificent men and women demonstrating what a enlightened human looks like. They all said they weren’t the exception, but rather the example of what we all could be. Unfortunately, the masses managed to totally discredit them and/or murder them. But they did leave a blue print of what the human being could grow into.
These master teachers taught that our Truth meter was our heart. It remains connected to the Life Source and guides us to the higher calling throughout our lives. However, it gets drowned out by fears, cares and sorrows that sink deep roots when we are just very young children. We then build hard, dense walls around our hurt feelings and traumas and vowing to never have anyone penetrate our protective barriers.
Unfortunately, walls may keep some of the fears and sorrows out, but they also keep out love and joy in the process. The fear stunts our growth, makes us insecure and causes our world to resemble a kindergarten playground scene. Adults and rules are absent, which causes even more fear and a stronger desire to build bigger, thicker walls. So many are encased behind walls it seems natural and we don’t realize we’re not free.
We’ve forgotten the master teachers told us to be like them, so we no longer bother to compare our behavior to them. If we did, we might just wake up and realize we are more like the Prodigal Son in the pig pen. It is only when one acknowledges they are bottomed out and need help that they can begin a restoration.
However, it is very difficult to aspire to the higher calling of being fully humane when all around us our leaders are acting like five-year olds slinging mud at each other every day. Many of us probably feel we are a few steps higher on the ladder than they are. Plus, we are being fed to fear “them” 24/7 (including even our neighbors). They are encouraging us to take on a more radical “us vs. them” mentality. Divide and conquer seems to the goal here. But who is the unnamed conqueror behind the curtain pulling these levers? Good question!
Since we as individuals are cut off from our heart intelligence that would neutralize these assaults of fear mongering and mud-slinging, we get demoralized by it all, energy drained and anxious to hide at home and indulge some form of “numb out”. But we must not give in to these lethargic fatalistic urges. We DO have a higher calling. We ARE meant to be unique, magnificent creatures joyously creating beauty that inspire one another. Our hearts resonate to that beauty and truth always.
Many wise men and women today are advising us to turn off the T.V., stop reading the internet feeds of fear and terror, and get into the beautiful outdoors, breathe deeply and rediscover your Self. Fall deeply in love with that higher Self that knows unconditional love, true compassion, cooperation and peace. Then, after you’ve had a good fill up, go back out onto the world playground and speak your Truth. Refuse to cooperate with injustice. We can know in our hearts what ‘Right’ is and apply it in love. If many of us awaken out of the trance, we can tear down the walls that separate us and free ourselves from our prisons of fear, angst and apathy. Then we have a chance to bring some order to the playground and grow up. It is our Higher Calling after all.
