Kindle Notes & Highlights
Because it’s omnipresent, this energy field of intent is accessible to you after your physical arrival here on Earth! The only way you deactivate this dormant force is by believing that you’re separate from it.
By allowing ego to determine your life path, you deactivate the power of intention.
I’ve written more extensively about them in several of my previous books, most notably Your Sacred Self. 1. I am what I have. My possessions define me. 2. I am what I do. My achievements define me.
3. I am what others think of me. My reputation defines me. 4. I am separate from everyone. My body defines me as alone. 5. I am separate from all that is missing in my life. My life space is disconnected from my desires. 6. I am separate from God. My life depends on God’s assessment of my worthiness.
When the supremacy of ego is weakened in your life, you can seek intention and maximize your potential.
A paradox is a seemingly absurd or contradictory statement, even if well founded.
When you shift your thoughts from Spirit to ego, you seem to lose contact with the power of intention.
As it moves away from Spirit, life appears to be a struggle. Slower energies flow through you, and you may feel hopeless, helpless, and lost.
Free will means that you have the choice to connect to Spirit or not!
Many years ago I decided to give up drinking alcohol. I wanted to experience continuous sobriety to improve my ability to do the work that I felt was burning inside of me.
In the early stages of this dramatic life change, a power seemed to help me when I was tempted to return to my old habits of having a few beers each evening. On one occasion, in my state of wavering, I actually went out to purchase a six-pack but forgot to bring money with me. I never forget to take cash with me!
When life appears to be working against you, when your luck is down, when the supposedly wrong people show up, or when you slip up and return to old, self-defeating habits, recognize the signs that you’re out of harmony with intention.
In simpler words, “All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye have received them, and ye shall receive them” [Mark 11:24].
Know that your thought or prayer is already here. Remove all doubt so that you create a harmonious thought with universal mind or intention. When you know this beyond doubt, it will be realized in the future. This is the power of intention at work.
Aldous Huxley,
One of my ten secrets for success and inner peace is to treat yourself as if you already are what you’d like to become.
Silent knowledge starts when you invite the power of intention to play an active part in your life.
Serotonin is a naturally occurring substance in the body that makes us feel more comfortable, peaceful, and even blissful.
You’re moving away from the power of intention. No matter whether you call it God, Spirit, Source, or intention, be aware that unkind thoughts weaken, and kind thoughts strengthen, your connection.
“Love is our highest word and the synonym for God.”
When we’re not in harmony with the energy of love, we’ve moved away from intention and weakened our ability to activate intention through the expression of love.
“The conclusion is always the same: Love is the most powerful and still the most unknown energy of the world.”
He reminds us that if we focus on what’s ugly, we attract more ugliness into our thoughts, and then into our emotions, and ultimately into our lives.
I love the way Mother Teresa described this quality when she was asked, “What do you do every day in the streets of Calcutta at your mission?” She responded, “Every day I see Jesus Christ in all of his distressing disguises.”
The power of intention is everywhere.
Intention can’t respond to you if you fail to recognize it. If you see chance and coincidence governing your life and the world, then the universal mind of intention
will appear to you as nothing but an amalgamation of forces devoid of any order or power.
As I’ve said many times in speeches and earlier writings, your job is not to say how, it’s to
say yes! Yes, I’m willing. Yes, I know that the power of intention is universal. It’s denied to no one.
Recite the seven words that represent the seven faces of intention: creative, kind, loving, beautiful, expanding, abundant, and receptive.
When doubt is banished, abundance flourishes and anything is
possible.
Feelings are clues about your destiny and potential, and they’re seeking the full expression of life through you.
Your willpower is so much less effective than your imagination, which is your link to the power of intention.
Your will is the ego part of you that believes you’re separate from others, separate from what you’d like to accomplish or have, and separate from God.
If imagination works for God, then surely it works for you, too.
Japa meditation is the repetition of the sound of the names of God while simultaneously focusing on what you intend to manifest.
I’ve written about it in a small book with an accompanying CD by Hay House called Getting in the Gap: Making Conscious Contact with God Through Meditation.
If you wish to connect to intention and become someone who achieves all of your objectives in life, you’re going to need the assistance of a multitude of folks.
You can’t reconnect to your Source and know the power of intention in your life without the assistance of the environment.
Practice kindness toward Earth by picking up a piece of litter that’s on your path, or saying a silent prayer of gratitude for the existence of rain, the color of flowers, or even the paper you hold in your hand that was donated by a tree.
It is what God is.
Remove all unloving thoughts from your mind, and practice kindness in all of your thoughts, words, and actions.
“Beauty is not caused. It is . . . ”
We become what we think about,
“The ancestor to every action is a thought.”
The universal Spirit has always worked with me in bringing my thoughts of unlimited abundance into my life. The right people would magically appear.
The help I needed would seemingly manifest out of nowhere.
Every time I see a coin on the street, I stop, pick it up, put it into my pocket, and say out loud, “Thank you, God, for this symbol of abundance that keeps flowing into my life.” Never once have I asked, “Why only a penny, God? You know I need a lot more than that.”
The nature of the universal mind is peaceful.
