Intent Matters
‘We can restore the power of intent through a return to the true self, or self-actualization. People who attain self-actualization reestablish their connectedness to the non-local mind. They have no desire to manipulate and control others. They are independent of criticism and also of flattery. They feel beneath no one, but they also feel superior to no one. They are in touch with the internal reference point that is their soul, and not their ego. Anxiety is no longer an issue, because anxiety comes from the ego’s need to protect itself. And that anxiety is what interferes with the spontaneity of intent. Intent is the mechanics through which spirit transforms itself in to material reality.’ – Deepak Chopra
We believe intent matters. We are not perfect at aligning ourselves the way Deepak describes above, but we try.
Intent matters because what we intend comes to pass. If we intend a universe of abundance, we will see one. If we intend to create a community in which anyone can participate and share in the rewards, we will.
The universe conspires for us. It’s dropping us hints all the time. Everyday it weaves seemingly non-connected coincidences and random happenings together into a tapestry of choice and opportunity. It wants us to succeed.
Can you think of a time in your life when an opportunity or coincidence occurred that at the time seemed random or lucky, yet on reflection realize it reflected your hearts deepest desires and aspirations?
There is no such thing as luck – only intent.

Having a little bit of trouble understanding this because I think the word ‘intent’ has more meaning than I thought it did (I’m Dutch). It is my intention to understand it and so perhaps I do

JR,
Very nice entry.
“Intent is the mechanics through which spirit transforms itself in to material reality.”
It is an amazingly consistent theme in self-help / success literature over the past 150 years that intent and attention is the critical link between spirit (or, if you prefer: the Universe, God(s), collective unconscious, infinite intelligence, higher mind, or The Force) and actual changes in the material world.
Whether New Age Guru or Hard-Nosed Empiricist — they all come to this conclusion in their own way.
That you have recognized this and made it a core assumption at Cambrian House is, to me, very impressive. I can’t help but believe you will succeed.

The tricky thing with intention and results is what happens when I don’t like the results I have? My first thought usually is, “I did not intend ‘THIS’!” The important thing to remember is that intention is created from our consious and less-than-conscious beliefs. Beliefs, conscious and less-than-conscious, are not always supportive. Getting at these limiting beliefs is one avenue of our life’s work of coming to know ourselves. I am coming to believe that knowing ourselves and carrying that into the world in all we do is a direct path to happiness.
