When we think about this word, intention, what comes to mind? Setting goals? Creating something? Putting a message out into the universe so that it will return in a manifested form? That sounds about right. But, what are intentions anyway? And more to the point, what are your intentions?
Intention by definition: Act of intending; something intended; purpose, aim.
With that definition in mind, we can imagine an intention is a stake in the mystical ground placed there with an initial thought, which then becomes words which then becomes action. Intentions manifest into creation through thoughts, words and actions.
But, let’s look beyond that which we can see. When we think about creating a new business for example, we might initially think up this dream based on creating a job so we don’t have to work for someone anymore. It could be that simple. But is it? What is the intention behind the intention? This is the energy that will either propel the intention forward or draw it backward.
Consider this: Imagine an intention which is based on the highest possible good for you and those around you. Now imagine an intention which is based on self-importance, greed and power. The energy behind the intention determines the outcome. Look at our corporate world today and think about which intention is more predominant. Considering the latter, ask your self the question “how is that working for our society as a whole?”
To take this into another direction, imagine an intention which is backed by the thought “I can succeed because I know I am limitless in potential and self-empowered.” Now imagine an intention which is built on the energy of an old self limiting belief system which says “I can’t because…” These hidden thoughts of the old story reverberate in your brain potentially limiting the infinite possibility of you. Listen to your thoughts. What kind of story are they telling you?
These concepts are what we might think about when we consider the intention behind the intention, and when we do, imagine then that in the realm of the positive thoughts we are accessing our soul’s intention and in the realm of the negative thoughts we are accessing our ego’s intention.
It’s easy to get off course when we are manifesting a dream. It’s easy to forget why we are doing something. That is why discovering, uncovering and “remembering” the soul intention, in every thought, every word and every action is deeply important to the success of your dream. There is so much power behind the intention when we get to the deepest level of it.
Next time you are in the midst of manifesting a dream, think about it. What is your intention? Once you have it in mind, look beyond that which you can see, and discover the intention behind the intention. If you don’t like what you see or what you hear, think again and re-create the infinite possibility. Remember it’s your Soul’s Intention.
