The Power of Intention

In our wholeness we are Infinite and complete, though in this life expression consciousness is also learning how to more skillfully utilize the power of intention, as this human expression could be considered to be a vehicle and instrument of intention.  Intention can at times be more conscious and more fully directed by the light of Spirit, or it can be more unconscious and directed by more unconscious behavior patterns.  Therefore for more conscious intention to be possible, meditation (ie. nurturing the connection with the inner Light of Awareness) is key.  Also it is perhaps worth noting, having intention is different than having expectation.

One could say intention is a focus and a directing of energy, which also allows for an organic flow, adaptability, and presence within that focus.  Whereas with expectation one becomes more tightly bound into an idea of how things should be unfolding, which more often than not, results in some sort of frustration and disappointment when things appear to be playing out differently.  Therefore in navigating this life dance, perhaps it is wisest to learn how to utilize positive and constructive intentions, without falling into the trap of expectation.
