Become the Powerful Change the World Needs to be Healed
I have come to realize we cannot change a person's mind or educate them; this they must do themselves. Through a long study of the concepts of empowerment and transformation, I have concluded that INTENTION is paramount. Intention is the foundation of ALL inner and outer institutions of man. It is the basis of legal and judicial systems, all human contracts, and rests at the root of all innovation and progress.
Your intentions define YOU. People are more than just response to stimuli, for they have the power to make decisions that reject the superficial 'rewards' of yielding to positive consequences. Many people have sacrificed themselves to fates that clearly were not congruent with self-interest by possessing intentions greater than the self. Thusly, deterministic or divine, intention is the seed-germ of all change, and can defy all environments. According to many theologians, the judgment of "the intentions of our hearts" by God upon our very soul is predicated upon our innermost intentions. According to philosophers and, now even scientists, intention is the foundation of numerous quantum physical, and metaphysical universal laws. Intention is the primary concern of all individuals, the collective, the state, and all judgments worldly and purportedly beyond. Both prayer and meditation are explicit forms of manifesting intention. In short, intention is the only pathway to the future we will likely ever know.
Many people feel powerless. But, one freedom that no influence, power, city, state, government, group, consequence or intimidation can reach to gird, is the sovereign soul's ability to think, and consequently react to the situations of life. The most elemental root of our thoughts; the underlying structure upon which our complex ideals and knowledge stands is our basic intention. Propagandists, research scientist and consumer psychologist work steadily to pry into "black box" of free agency and thought, but thankfully individual sovereignty, and the indomitable will of man has not yet been bridled, or entirely broken, and we still have relatively free minds, IF WE CHOOSE.
As individuals, it may seem we are not able to control or change the world, but through our willful intentions we may at least escape the culpability of our own complicit minds and hearts. When we internally oppose oppression, or any force that would usurp individual sovereignty, we thusly lift our hands from the collective reigns that empower such oppressions. We have the power to oppose, and therefor, not be party to what we see as injustice, EVEN if we belong to a collective that perpetuates the injustice. This is the liberating and defining power of intention.
Through our intentions; a place no power can influence, we have the power to oppose. The terrible atrocities in the world require more from each of us than a regret-filled acknowledgment they exist; they require our most earnest intentions be focused on their immediate eradication. To do this we must first have conscious awareness that it must change. Once our 'rightful intention' is set and no longer accepts, we will in time begin to see the change as the collective mind rejects the injustice.
The one and only true freedom we ALL posses is what we think; and our intentions govern what we think.
We all feel that we cannot change the world alone, but as a free soul on earth we can express our intentions to NOT live in a world, where some humans, have in fact been reduced to nothing more than mere vessels of pain. We DO NOT have to be victimized by the ugliness in the world any longer. An incubus of ignorance, fear, hunger, oppression and intolerance haunts large regions of the world, and I have no delusions that I am immune. I refuse to forget that I too am human, that I too am frail, that we all are subject to such miseries, and that in time we shall all be subject to frailty and suffering personally.
Will you acknowledge with me, that everything we have created in the world started as a tiny intention? We carry within us the enormity of possibility that gave birth to everything man has made in the world. Let us now yearn for the possibility of building a happiness in every heart. Let us now build inward, a new world of hope, a world of limitless possibilities for the children of tomorrow, where each soul can reach the heights of their potential to love, and to be loved.
We have the power to set our intentions on the betterment our world. The very "least" among us has the enormous power to effect change through small and intended acts of determination and will. We can each immediately liberate ourselves as victims in the world, through solidifying an 'intent' to act; 'intent' to forgive; intent to love; 'intent' to be virtuous, polite and empathetic. Then with that 'intention' set into motion through the simplest first actions, we will begin to liberate ourselves from victimization, thereby creating an entirely new perspective and future. Our divine intention is to love, to be loved, to feel safe in this world and to each know our purpose. We have the power to choose these virtues, rather than choosing violence, rage, anger, revenge, greed, and other base impulses of the lesser-self without purpose. We may know our true purpose in life, because we may choose our purpose in life.
Through my expressed intentions, I hereby declare that my purpose, which will be, and is now at this very moment being fulfilled is to rise above my own indifference, and irrevocably declare, that I CHOOSE to have a true, heartfelt compassion and empathy for my fellow man. Through my INTENTIONS, I will stand erect, defiant and without shame to declare, that IT IS POSSIBLE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
The beginning of all power starts with your intention the very moment you choose to no longer accept the 'reality' you see before you. Do not underestimate the power in an individuals commitment to harness the power of their intention, which is a way for ALL people to be powerful. Express your intentions now, and become the powerful change the world needs to be healed.
