Chapter 14 - The Power of Your Intention
Law of Manifestation and Intent
Intentions point to what your inner attention is focussed on. You have conscious intents, but up until you made the decision to take back your own power and your own truth, your unconscious intents have directed your choices. Most of your intentions have been based on fear, lack, survival, belonging, need for love, approval and recognition. Intentions lead to manifestation through the feelings behind them. Love and giving lead to joy, and happiness, to the events and circumstances which promote these feelings. When you are looking for someone or something outside your self to make you feel loved (your out-attention) you do this because you feel inadequate, and less than you really are. Thus you will attract and choose relationships that will reflect the attitudes back of how you feel about yourself. The world is, and will continue to be, a reflection of how you feel about yourself. And thus every event, every relationship will point you towards where you are off balance with yourself, where you are hiding, denying, or doubting your own worthiness and lovingness. It will reflect where you are holding fear and what intentions are guiding your experiences. As you become empowered you begin to change the beliefs and therefore the match of your intentions to those of your inner attention.
Much recently has been said about the Law of Attraction. You attract what you put out. Why this Law does not appear to work for most people is because the primary intent behind their attempts is based on beliefs that they do not have enough. It is a false belief since, what you need you already have access to and more. The intention is based on the fear of lack.
What you put out is what you get back. The energy you give out, based on your belief, your emotions, your behaviour, the vibrational frequency you give off, is what determines the kind of reality experience you have because physical reality does not exist except as a reflection of what you strongly believe is true for you. That is all physical reality is. It is literally a mirror of the emotional and feeling tones you are holding.
If you are looking in the mirror and you see your face in the mirror with a frown on it, you know that you don’t go over to the mirror and try to force the reflection to smile. You know that if you want to see the reflection smile you must smile first. You know that when you decide to smile, the reflection has no choice but to return the smile. It does not have a mind of its own. Thus physical reality will not change until you do first. But if you do it has no choice but to follow suit because it is only a reflection of what you are putting out. Likewise, if you begin to fashion your intent on what you really want and know in your heart of hearts, the core of your feeling, that it is so, then, so it is. It has to be. It is already a fact under the Law of Manifestation. Here is a wonderful and powerful mantra you can say after putting out any intention, “And So It Is”. The more you use it the more you will feel it and the more fully you will experience your intents becoming your experience.
