Intention is at the core of your life’s experience. It gives rise to any form. The word implies it’s a function of tension, and specifically: tension seeking resolution – from imbalance to balance. By following the path of least resistance. Tension creates. And being in-tension is being in form. That does not equate to stress, drama, conflict, which we easily associate with tension. It simply means whatever you choose = intend becomes sooner or later your experience of reality. And your experience now, is a reflection of your (past) intentions.
The question is therefore not to give up intentions – as some teachings propose – but to become aware of your (unconscious) intentions. And then choose your intentions wisely. Because your life’s experience is a direct function of it.
YOUR CHOICE:
You can willfully intend what you think you want – usually it’s stuff and ‘having’ more. Which reflects normal = distorted priorities: Have > do > be.
“I want x, that’s why I do y, and as a result I can become z.”
It is the expression of a completely wrong understanding of self – because it implies that your actions can change, improve or complete who you are. That’s the illusion, which gets perpetuated through that order of priorities.
Or you can intend to let your deeper nature – your true being – ‘take over’. Which aligns your priorities with your nature: Be > have > do.
» Let's explore how to do that!

SURPRISE – YOUR CORE ASSUMPTIONS NEED TO BE SHATTERED
...The truth: Life is an undeserved, precious gift that I am given. That each one of us is given.
Many people, and so did I too, believe that they have to collect good deeds, do something special to redeem themselves, become pure, successful, loved or collect other ‘brownie points’ to fulfill their purpose – to earn their right to exist. Otherwise their existence failed.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
LIFE IS A GIFT.
That each one of us got, totally undeserved and unconditional. Nobody knows where that gift came from. Nor will anyone ever know. You are not obligated to do, be or achieve anything in life. Fundamentally there is only freedom. You don’t have to fulfill any purpose, requirements, conditions, divine ideals, be special or whatsoever. Those are just man made concepts – wrong assumptions.
WE ARE ALL FREE TO BE OURSELVES. IF YOU WILL, THAT’S THE WHOLE PURPOSE....

Surprise – Your Core Assumptions Need To Be Shattered
Over the last years I learned from many teachers and mentors. And I am incredibly grateful that I made the leap to put my pride aside (I believed I knew quite a lot) to then soon recognize my illus…
This quote expresses the archetype of human suffering.
What is suffering? Living in distortion, instead of reality.
At the core of that self perpetuating distortion, is the belief that you can improve yourself. That your actions somehow can change, heal, transform, impact, complete, transcend who you are. That's the distortion. That's the illusion. That's the source of suffering. No matter what you do, you can't change, improve, enlighten, transform who you are. Because that's who you are already, always were and will be.
You can definitely improve your actions, skills, and create better outcomes. But there is no way - zero - nada - niente - no possibility that your actions improve who you are.
You can only become more aware of who you are. And that's when you wake up from believing to be a human doing to realizing you are a human being.
And suffering stops.
And you smile at 'motivational' nonsense like above 😉

Real choice is to be in prison or not.
Most people think of choice in terms of making their prison a little bit more beautiful: A bigger TV, another promotion, some fancy holidays, a few more followers online, a bit of praise from X (spouse, parents, government, boss...), bigger biceps / boobs, transcendence into 4-5-6-D... - which really is just painting the prison bars in other colors or closing one's eyes and pretending they are not there.
But ignorance is not bliss.
Real choice is to be out of prison. And live a life oriented by what you love - true to yourself. Beyond the prison bars of social expectations, your (limiting) beliefs, (governmental) propaganda or restrictive conventions.
Very few people live life that way. BUT that doesn't mean that only few have that capacity.
We all have it. It's essential part of our human nature.
The only question is, if you dare to make that choice.
Unlocking your human creative spirit.
And claim your freedom. 😍

“Most people end up being conformists; they adapt to prison life. A few become reformers; they fight for better lighting, better ventilation. Hardly anyone becomes a rebel, a revolutionary who breaks down the prison walls. You can only be a revolutionary when you see the prison walls in the first place.” — Anthony de Mello
