Intention is a mental construct, an idea to bring about an action or a defined result.

It's important that we have a clear intention of why, or where we want to go in our life and what we want to become.

If intention is coming from the ego, which is steeped in FEAR, separateness, superiority, judgment, control, manipulation, blah, blah, blah, and all the subsets under FEAR, then the intention will be somewhat nefarious and can result in harm for ourselves, others and the environment.

It's important that our intention is coming from a place of purity and we all have that within us, it is called our heart.

The purest intentions come from love and love is demonstrated through
acts of:

Appreciation

Compassion

Understanding

Forgiveness

Humility

Valour (Bravery & Courage)

If intention is a mental construct and we cannot see it, how do we determine if a person has pure or impure
intentions?

Well, that's why we have a pineal gland, sometimes called the third eye.

You put your finger in the middle of your forehead and it is back from there in the brain.

Mystic and esoteric spiritual traditions suggest the pineal gland serves as metaphysical connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.

The pineal gland is the source of our intuition.

We need to grow our intuition to determine what is the nature or the intention of this person or group?

When we follow our intuition, it will silently guide us and warn us,

"Hey, there's something not
quite right here".

We should listen to our intuition, it will be a wonderful guide for us.

Here is the combination of how to see through the haze, through the fear, to the true intention behind what's going on:

Be guided by your heart and your intuition.

This is the path to the truth we are seeking, with the end result being freedom.

Walk this path boldly, trust your intuition and your heart, they will always guide you to where you need to be.

Parting Words:

"The power of intention is key.

It is about increasing not decreasing, your range of possibilities.

It is about strengthening your sources of self.

It is about making you aware of your own sources of curiosity, compassion and courage."

C. Otto Scharmer

Intention and Intuition,
use them well.
