Intent

Tuesday evenings class was quite the ride. Beginning with the scientific perspective to our global crisis and how everything coincides, was eye-opening. I see my world as more condensed with my actions and interactions. As we studied the large scale approach to turning around a shattered system, I began to think how I could participate actively in that.

Then we were exposed to how we can give positive vibrations and energy to the world around us. Which isn't exactly black and white science. How can you prove any real shift without being able to physically touch, feel, or see it? Well, I live my life in this type of science and I am a living testament to this awareness.

I am also a member of Sukyo Mahikari, along with the speaker Routh. The principles involved with this practice includes no harm, awareness and exuding light (as the light beings we are) to anything and everything we come into contact with. It's about seeing beyond any divisions and honoring life all around us and respecting it in a manner that is equal to our human selves. It ventures away from the ego and our innate reaction to dominate.

After reading about 'The Intention Experiement' I saw how science was bridged with the unseen, just by thought. It solidified my position of how true this work is. So, I was sharing this information with my boyfriend (who is a nuclear chemist, and has a hard time seeing color...if you know what I mean). And as I began to state fact after fact and my own personal stories, he still couldn't comprehend the concept that your mind goes beyond the body to arrange the universe around you.

This is the downfall of our fearful existence as humans. We feel the need to hang on and materialize our world in order for it to be true. That leap of faith is crucial to understanding the beautiful nuances of life. It's the big question of God, religion and what controls our world. It was even stated in the lecture that scientists don't even go near something they can't conceptualize. There's absolutely no way you can rationalize this approach to life. This compartmentalization we do in our minds traps us into a confined way of thinking. If something doesn't fit, we immediately discount it.

In regards to the environment, I think it's a very sorry and sad way to see things. This is why we see all the negligence concerning our environment and how we engage with it. It's easier to turn our head and disregard any turmoil if we aren't directly involved with it. Yet as the story was shared about the clinical psychologist who saw every patients folder and apologized for how he had created it, it exposed a concept of 'total responsibility.' This means even being responsible for our thoughts. All the separation and hatred that we see all started in our minds. So when are we going to start being aware of the power of the mind?
