Gathering 2024
DAY 2

Learning to Co-create Your World Your Way Leading to Your Highest and Best Self

“A shift in thinking from a purely psychological or personal growth emphasis toward a spiritual orientation where healing, creating miracles, manifesting and making a connection to divine intelligence are genuine possibilities.”

-Wayne Dyer

​

“Intent is a force that exists in the Universe. When sorcerers (those who live of the Source) beckon intent, it comes to them and sets up the path for attainment, which means that sorcerers always accomplish what they set out to do. Intention is a power that’s present everywhere as a field of energy. When you activate it you begin to feel purpose in your life, you’ll be guided by your infinite self.”

-Carlos Castaneda

THE SEVEN FACES OF INTENTION

by Wayne Dyer

1. BE CREATIVE…Give form to your personal intentions.

2. BE KIND…Kindness given is kindness returned.

3. BE LOVE…Being in a state of love is absolutely necessary to reconnect to intention – the Source Love is the force behind the Will of God.

4. BE BEAUTY…Beauty is not caused, it IS, To come back into conscious contact with your Source, look for and experience beauty in all your undertakings.

5. BE EVER EXPANSIVE…By growing intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually, you are identifying with the Universal Mind.

6. BE ABUNDANT…There is no scarcity in the universal invisible world of Spirit…the ancestor to every action is thought.

7. BE RECEPTIVE…The Universal Mind is ready to respond to anyone who recognizes their true relationship to it. It will reproduce whatever conception of itself you impress upon it.

THE FOUR STEPS TO INTENTION

by Wayne Dyer

Activating your power of intention is a process of connecting with your natural self and letting go of total ego identification. The process takes place in four stages.

​

1. DISCIPLINE is the first stage. Learning a new task requires training your body to perform as your thoughts desire. So, eliminating ego identification doesn't mean disconnecting from your relationship with your body, but rather, training your body to activate those desires. You do that with practice, exercise, nontoxic habits, healthy foods and so on.

2. WISDOM is the second stage. Wisdom combined with discipline fosters your ability to focus and be patient as you harmonize your thoughts, your intellect, and your feelings with the work of your body. We send children off to school telling them “Be disciplined and use your head” and call this education, but it falls short of mastery.

3. LOVE is the third stage. After disciplining the body with wisdom and intellectuallystudying a task, this process of mastery involves loving what you do and doing what you love. In the world of sales, some call this falling in love with what you’re offering, and then selling your love or enthusiasm to potential customers. When learning to play tennis, it involves practicing all of the strokes while studying strategies for playing the game. It also involves enjoying the feeling of hitting the ball and of being on the tennis court…and everything else about the game.

4. SURRENDER is the fourth stage. This is the place of intention. This is where your body and your mind aren’t running the show and you move into intent. In the universe there is an immeasurable, indescribable force which shamans call intent and absolutely everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link.

SELF-ACTUALIZING PEOPLE MUST BE WHAT THEY CAN BE

by Abraham Maslow

​

A person who lives in a state of unity with the Source of all life is often referred to as a “connector”, to signify their harmonious connection with the field of intention and who have made themselves available for success, rather than using language that indicates their desires may not materialize, they speak from an inner conviction that communicates their profound and simple knowing that the Universal Source supplies everything.  Connectors don’t place their thoughts on what they don’t want because they believe: The Source of all can only respond with what is, and what it is, is infinite supply.  It can’t relate to scarcity.  To connectors, everything that shows up in life is there because the power of intention intended it there.  So they are always in a state of gratitude, appreciation and bewilderment.  Connector people are exceptionally generous.  It is as if what they want for themselves is dwarfed only by wanting it even more for other people. They get great pleasure in giving.  Others may wonder how they ever accumulate anything for themselves, yet they seem to lack nothing that they desire. The secret to the power of intention, they tell you, is in thinking and acting the same as the all-providing Source from which all originates.  It’s always providing and I choose to be a provider too.  The more I give of myself and all that flows to me, the more I see flowing back to me.

SETTING AN INTENTION

from Muselflower Retreat and Spa

Setting an intention is a way to come home to ourselves and into our hearts.  Our intention can become an anchor to return to ourselves again and again when we start to get distracted or lose focus on our path.  

An intention is similar to a goal in the sense that it gives us focus on what we want to invite into our lives. However, an intention is much more open-ended, whereas a goal has to be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Timely).

An intention is like an open invitation to co-create with the Universe and it often focuses on how we want to feel instead of what we want to achieve.

When we set an intention, we let go of the expectations of how things should turn out to be and we trust that the Universe will support us no matter what.

1. FOCUS on your feelings instead of actions/outcomes.

2. LET GO of the how and just focus on the what.  We know what feelings we want to create (the what).  We don’t need to know how we will get there.  The beauty of setting intention is to co-create with the Universe…It will show us how we will get there. 

3. TRUST THE UNIVERSE and listen to your intuition.  We don’t know how everything will turn out nor can we control every evolution, outcome or even events in our life. 

4. USE PRESENT TENSE and avoid negative words. Similar to writing an affirmation as opposed to a “goal”, it is important to set our intention in the present tense as if it is already happening now.  Avoiding using negative words helps refocus on what we want in our lives instead of what we don't want.  

5. WRITE DOWN OR DRAW your intention and place it somewhere that you can see it as a daily reminder for what you are inviting into your life.  

HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT

The answer to how to get What I want is to reframe the question: HOW DO I GO ABOUT GETTING WHAT I INTEND TO CREATE? The short answer is this: “You get what you intend to create by being in harmony with the power of intention, which is responsible for all of creation.”  Become just like intention and you’ll co-create all that you contemplate.  When you become one with intention, you’re transcending the ego mind and becoming the universal all-creative mind.  John Randolph Price writes in A Spiritual Philosophy for the New World: “Until you transcend the ego, you can do nothing but add to the insanity of the world.  That statement should delight you rather than create despair, for it removes the burden from your shoulders.”

Eckhart Tolle: “Intention is a powerful force.  And it is intimately tied to your awareness in the present moment.”

​

EMPOWERING YOUR INTENTIONS

LET GO of conditioned patterns of reactivity and unhappiness that pull you out of Presence. 

QUIET the busy thoughts in your head and step into a more peaceful way of being. 

SHIFT your focus to being more conscious and aware as you move through your daily tasks and interactions with others.  

FINDING your life’s purpose…your primary purpose…to be here fully in whatever you do so that the preciousness of the present moment remains paramount.
