Setting Your Intentions, why it's important and what is going on when you do.

I have to attribute this content to Matt Cooke, to whom I am immensely grateful for this valuable and clear content. Give it a good read and then order one of MORNING QUESTIONS bookmarks HERE, which will help to guide you, in a very simple way, to the discipline of setting positive intentions each day, week or month, whatever suits you best, but can I be so bold as to recommend, the more regular, the better!
Over to Matt....

'The invisible is the most sophisticated information and energy system in existence. It is what quantum physicists call the unified field, which is the underlying fabric of reality that connects everything to everything else. And in the manifestation space, this is simply referred to as "The Universe". Literally, at the subatomic level, there is a field of consciousness that underpins all of physical reality, and every single thing you can see, touch, and measure is an expression of it. Think about what that actually means. The chair you are sitting on. The thought you are thinking right now. The person on the other side of the world who is, at this exact moment, making a decision that will eventually cross your path. The opportunity that you do not yet know is heading toward you. All of it arises from and is connected through the same field. Max Planck, the father of quantum theory, said that he regarded consciousness as fundamental and matter as a derivative of consciousness. Not the other way around. The field came first. Physical reality is what the field produces. So when you set a genuine intention to manifest something, when you shift your state and send a clear signal, you are not sending a wish out into empty space hoping something catches it. You are literally communicating directly with the intelligence that organises reality itself. You are introducing new information into a system that is already, always, constantly in the process of creating. And the field always responds. It takes the signal, and it begins to move the pieces. It works at a level so far beneath the surface that, from where you are standing, it is completely invisible. This is what is happening in the gap. Consciousness - the same consciousness that is reading these words, the same consciousness that underlies the chair and the opportunity and the person who is about to find their way to you - is doing what it has always done. Organising, connecting and creating. You cannot see it because it is invisible to our sense data. But it has never once stopped working. |

What happens when you set an intention: Most people think of setting an intention as the beginning of a long process. But I want to reframe that completely. Setting an intention is not the start of the journey. It is your part of the journey. And it is shorter and simpler than most people realise. You get clear on what you want. You feel gratitude for it as if it is already done, you visualise it as complete using meditation, and then you hand it over. Here is something that will shift how you see this: You do not manage that process. Your role was to set the signal and allow the field's invisible, vast intelligence to take over. And this requires patience and trust. Real patience in manifestation is a deep, cellular knowing that the process is already in motion, and that you have done your bit. The invisible work needs your trust the way a fire needs oxygen.
Remember, there's no "I" in team. And also remember, when you withdraw that trust, when you collapse back into doubt, into urgency, into the story that nothing is happening, you are not just feeling bad. You are changing your frequency. And frequency is the signal. The field responds to what you are broadcasting, not what you are asking for. But what you do with it matters enormously. You can let it become your dominant frequency, or you can notice it, acknowledge it, and return, gently, deliberately, as many times as it takes, back to the baseline of trust and the knowing that it is happening behind the scenes.' |
