We each are a
creative living process and we each will be changed by the
experiences we have. How much we are changed by the experience we
have depends on the how significant the experience is to us.
What needs to be understood is the intention we hold is determined
by the perspective we hold at the time we set the intention. As we
move to manifest that intention, our perspective will change. That
in turn, my affect our intention and what we desire to manifest. The
goal in the following discussions is to get some idea of how and why
our perspective will change in a creative process and that in turn,
may affect the intention we hold.
Whenever we set an intention, we carry a perspective or view about
what we are observing. Our perspective and our
belief structure act as the lens through which you focus our
attention. Initially what you intend appears as a good idea but in
reality it usually a mass of jumbled and conflicting beliefs,
attitudes, opinions and the like. What needs to be understood is
that independent of our personal experiences, there are many beliefs
that we have been taught in life or have come to adopt about life
that are actually in conflict with other. Rather than converge our
focus as a convex lens our beliefs can cause our energy to scatter
as a concave lense.
For example one belief in particular that many in the United States
probably carry and is embedded in the US Constitution is that all
men are created equal. Of course in 1776 the concept that all men
were created equal sounded very good but it didn’t originally apply
to women, slaves and Native Americans. So the men who framed the
Constitution were living with conflicting beliefs whether they
realize it or not. Over time, clarity has come as to what those
words and that belief really mean to people. And of course we all
have changed such that we totally embrace equality for all haven’t
we? For example, what is your perspective on that subject? Do you
really believe all are created equal and is that belief reflected in
everything that you do or do you continue to have conflicting
beliefs about the topic?
No matter how clear we think we are, when we set an intention, any
intention, we are attempting to gain clarity on a particular subject
or topic. If we already had total clarity on the subject what we
intend would already be in our life and we would be totally familiar
with it. An intention always propels us away from where we are and
our current world towards that which we intend and another world
where our intention is made manifest. As we gain clarity we can
focus more and more of our energy into that topic. Or, our creative
life energy that is being directed at that topic becomes more
focused. Or, we can do both, focus a more directed attention and
increase the energy to that topic. In any case, as we hold to our
intention and keep a
single point focus, we will manifest something faster than
allowing our attention to be diverted and scattered.
To explore a little deeper understanding of the relationship of
intention and perspective is appropriate to review each. The next
two discussions
review intentionality and
perspective followed by the
process of holding an intention.
