Which “where” are you going to?
Where ARE you going?
Is your hand on the wheel? A metaphor for driving your car. Is your hand on the wheel of your life? Are you intentionally choosing where you intend to go with your life?
Or, are you enjoying just floating along? Which can have wonderful relaxation effects. There is no right or wrong to your choices. Sure, there might be karma as consequences to your choices. If you choose to go … into the military, you might not last long if a war breaks out.
But to have an intention, an intended destination or outcome, is a very powerful thing to do for yourself. But even then, there can be some wiggle room. There is nothing wrong with having a very specific intention. “I want to get my Doctorate in Astrophysics at MIT.” Perfect! “I want to understand Astrophysics as best as I possibly can.” Those two can have very different outcomes. And, they both could take you to the same destination. If you enter MIT, for example, and just study with all the others, you can get your Doctorate but be very similar in your understanding of the subject.
“The Earth revolves around the Sun.” What?
There is a bit of magic that happens, once you decide where you are intending to arrive. Your thoughts are vibrational “windows” or “portals” of sorts. When it comes to learning something as the destination you intend, you attract help along the way. Once you commit, with a sense of conviction, you attract to you information related to what you intend to know. For example, Einstein would think and think and think about a problem and get nowhere. Yet, he would go for a walk, relax and just take a stroll. It was then, he said, that sudden inspiration would inspire him to the answers he was looking for. If he couldn’t think his way there, to the answer, there must be another way that information arrives to us. And that is what I am saying.
On our best day, our Western academic understanding of how the universe works is insufficient to answer all the questions we might have. In other words, there are many, many things we do not yet understand. But, I suggest, it is in the intention of finding out, that the true power arrives. Certainly Einstein prepared himself for the inspirations through study and thinking about what the answer(s) might be. And that step prepared him for receiving the answer. Prepared him to receive the answer. I suggest it wasn’t as much his intelligence, that he himself said was wanting, but rather it was his intense intention to “figure it out.”
Les, what the hell does this have to do with spirituality?
We all had a normal of sorts. When we think back to 2019, we all had a relatively “normal” life. And then the metaphorical wheels fell off the cart. Now, in this moment, we have a new opportunity to create a new normal. A “better” normal. But what would that look like?
When we set the intention, for the destination where we are headed, we can get inspired along the way. That is to say, if we dream up an ideal vision of what the future looks like, we will be fed inspirations as to what that could actually look like. We don’t have to know how it will happen, to start taking the first steps there. Quite contrary, it is once we commit to the intentions, that we become more than we are. In such a way, that our intentions attract to us possibilities along the way, that would have never shown up had we never committed ourselves to the journey.
Your heart and soul have oceans of possibilities for you, some of which completely transcend what you think possible. And you can accomplish them, once you commit to the journey. Once you commit your intentions. If your heart and soul are showing you visions for your life, you may think, how the hell would I do that? Just commit to the vision and start taking steps there. And what arrives in the journey itself. Dream Big, and let the details resolve themselves along the way.
Love You!
