The excerpts provided here are from a book by Wayne Dyer, focusing a lot on the power of Intention and how to deal with the Self. I plan to provide these excerpts in chapter topics here on the forum as focus points that I personally need to work on or find of interest, but if they help others as well then while I'm happy to type them, though its best to source down the full book "The Essential: Wayne Dyer Collection" for a better experience. :P


Part 4: Obstacles to Connecting to Intention

"Does a firm persuasion that a thing is so, make it so? He replied, 'All poets believe that it does. And in ages of imagination, this firm persuasion removed mountains; But many are not capable of a firm persuasion of anything!" - William Blake


~ William Blake's passage from The Marriage of Heaven and Hell is the basis of this chapter about overcoming obstacles to the unlimited power of intention. Blake is telling us that poets have an inexhaustible imagination and consequently an unlimited ability to make something so. He also reminds us that many aren't capable of such a firm persuasion.

~ In the previous chapter, I gave you suggestions for making positive connections to intention. I deliberately arranged the chapters this way so that you'd read about what you're capable of before examining barriers you've erected that keep you from the bliss of your intention.

~ In the past, as a practicing counselor and therapist, I've encouraged clients to first consider what they want to manifest in their lives and hold that thought firmly in their imagination. Only after this was solidified would I have them examine and consider the obstacles. Often my clients were unaware of the obstructions even when they were self-imposed. Learning to identify ways in which you're creating your own obstacles is tremendously enlightening if you're willing to explore this area of your life. You may discover obstacles that keep you from a firm persuasion of anything.

~ I'm devoting this chapter to three areas that may be unrecognizable obstacles to your connection to the power of intention. You'll be examining your inner speech, your level of energy, and your self-importance. These three categories can create almost insurmountable blocks to your connection to intention when they're mismatched.

Your Inner Speech - Match or No Match?

1) Thinking about what's missing in your life. To match up with intention, you first have to catch yourself in that moment you're thinking about what's missing. then shift to intention. Not what I find missing in my life, but to what I absolutely intend to manifest and attract into my life - with no doubts, no waffling, and no explaining! Here are some suggestions to help you break the habit of focusing your thoughts on what's missing. Play a version of the match game, and match up with the all-creating force.

No Match: I don't have enough money
Match: I intend to attract unlimited abundance into my life.

No Match: My partner is grouchy and boring
Match: I intend to focus my thoughts on what I love about my partner.

No Match: I'm not as attractive as I'd like to be.
Match: I'm perfect in the eyes of God, a divine manifestation of the process of creation.

No Match: I don't have enough vitality and energy.
Match: I'm a part of the ebb and flow of the limitless Source of all life.

2) Thinking about the circumstances of your life. If you don't like some of the circumstances of your life, by all means don't think about them. This may sound like a paradox to you, in this match game, you want to match up with the spirit of creation. You must train your imagination (which is the universal mind running through you) to shift from what you don't want to what you do want. All of that mental energy you spend complaining about what Is - to anyone who will listen - is a magnet for attracting more of what is into your life. You, and only you, can overcome this impediment because you've put it on your path to intention. Simply change your inner speech to what you intend the new circumstances of your life to be.

No Match: I hate this place we're living in; it gives me the creeps.
Match: I can see our new home in my mind, and I intend to be living in it within six months.

No Match: When I see myself in the mirror, I despise the fact that I'm nearsighted and out of shape.
Match: I'm placing this drawing of how I intend to look right here on my mirror.

No Match: I dislike the work I'm doing and the fact that I'm not appreciated.
Match: I'll act upon my inner intuitive impulses to create the work or job of my dreams.

No Match: I hate the fact that I'm sick so often and always seem to be getting colds.
Match: I am divine health. I intend to act in healthy ways and attract the power to strengthen my immune system in every way I can

You must learn to assume responsibility for the circumstances of your life without any accompanying guilt. The circumstances of your life aren't the way they are because of karmic debt or because you're being punished. The circumstances of your life, including your health, are yours. Somehow they showed up in your life, so just assume that you participated in all of it. Your inner speech is uniquely your own creation, and its responsible for attracting more of the circumstances that you don't want.

3) Thinking about what has always been.When your inner speech focuses on the way things have always been, you act upon your thoughts of what has always been, and the universal all-creating force continues to deliver what has always been. Why? Because your imagination is a part of that which imagined you into existence. It is the force of creation, and you're using it to work against you with your inner speech.
Imagine the absolute Spirit thinking like this: I can't create life anymore because things haven't worked for me in the past. There have been so many mistakes in the past, and I can't stop thinking about them! How much creating do you think would occur if Spirit imagined in this way? How can you possibly connect to the power of intention if your thoughts, which are responsible for your intending, focus on all that's gone before, which you abhor? The answer is obvious, and so is the solution.

No match: I've always been poor; I was raised on shortages and scarcity.
Match: I intend to attract wealth and prosperity in unlimited abundance.

No match: We've always fought in this relationship.
Match: I'll work at being peaceful and not allowing anyone to bring me down.

No match: I can't help feeling this way; its in my nature. I've always been this way.
Match: I'm a divine creation, capable of thinking like my creator. I intend to substitute love and kindness for feelings of inadequacy. Its my choice.

4) Thinking about what "They" want for you. There's probably a long list of people, most of them relatives, who have strong ideas about what you should be doing, how you should be thinking and worshiping, where you should be living, how you should be scheduling your life, and how much of your time you should be spending with them - especially on special occasions and holidays! Our definition of friendship thankfully excludes the manipulations and guilt we so often put up with in our families.

Inner Dialogue that commiserates about the manipulative expectations of others ensures that this kind of conduct continues to flow into your life. If your thoughts are on what others expect of you - even though you despise their expectations - you'll continue to act on and attract more of what they want and expect for you. Removing the obstacles means that you decide to shift your inner speech to what you intend to create and attract into your life. You must do this with unswerving intent, and a commitment to not giving mental energy to what others feel about how you live your life. This can be a tough assignment at first, but you'll welcome the shift when you do it.

No Match: I'm so annoyed with my family. They just don't understand me and they never have.
Match: I love my family: they don't see things my way, but I don't expect them to. I'm totally focused on my own intentions, and I send them love.

No Match: I make myself sick trying to please everyone else.
Match: I'm on purpose doing what I signed up to do in this lifetime.

No match: I feel so unappreciated by those I serve that it sometimes makes me cry
Match: I do what I do because its my purpose and my destiny to do so.

No Match: No matter what I do or say, it seems as if I can't win.
Match: I do what my heart tells me to do with love, kindness, and beauty.


Your Level of Energy - Match or No Match?

~ The impact of higher and faster frequencies on lower and slower frequencies can be measured, and its in this regard that you can make a huge impact on eradicating the energy factors in your life that are obstructing your connection to intention. The purpose of moving up the frequency ladder is to change your vibratory level of energy so that you're at the higher and faster frequencies where your energy level matches up with the highest frequencies of all: The energy of the all -creating Spirit of intention itself. It was Albert Einstein who observed, "Nothing happens until something movies."

~ Every thought you have can be energetically calibrated, along with its impact on your body and your environment. The higher your energy the more capable you are of nullifying and converting lower energies, which weaken you, and impacting in a positive way everyone in your immediate and even distant surroundings.

~The objective in this section is to become aware of your own energy level and the actual frequencies of thought that you regularly employ in daily life.

1) The material world. Solid Form is energy slowed down so that it's approximately commensurate with your sense of perception of the world of boundaries. Everything that you see and touch is energy slowed down so that it appears to be coalesced mass. Your eyes and your fingers agree, and there you have the physical world.

2) The Sound world. You seldom perceive sound waves with your eyes, but they can actually be felt. These invisible waves are also high/low and fast/slow. This sound level of energy is where you connect tot he highest frequencies of Spirit through the practice of Japa meditation, or the repetition of the sound of God, as I've written about extensively in Getting in the Gap.

3) The Light world. Light moves faster than the material world and faster than sound, yet there are no actual particles to form a substance called light. What you see as red is what your eye perceives a certain pulsating frequency to be, and what you perceive as violet is an even faster and higher frequency. When light is brought to darkness, darkness becomes light. The implications for this are startling. Low energy when faced with high energy experiences an automatic conversion.

4) The Thought world. Your thoughts are an extremely high frequency of pulsation that moves beyond the speed of sound and even light. The frequency of thoughts can be measured, and the impact that they have on your body and your environment can be calculated. Once again, the same rules apply. Higher frequencies nullify lower; Faster energies convert slower. A colleague I admire enormously, David Hawkins, M.D., has written a work, which I've referenced often, called Power vs. Force. In this remarkable book, Dr. Hawkins elaborates on how they can be impacted and converted by exposure to higher and faster frequencies. I urge you to read his book, and I'll present some of those findings in the section on raising your energy levels. Every thought you have can be calculated to determine if its strengthening or weakening your ability to reconnect to the highest and fastest energy in the universe.

5) The Spirit world. Here is the ultimate in energy. These frequencies are so supersonically rapid that the presence of disorder, disharmony, and even disease is impossible. These measurable energies consist of the seven faces of intention, written about throughout the pages of this book. They are the energies of creation. When you reproduce them in yourself, you reproduce energies of creation. When you reproduce them in yourself, you reproduce the same creative quality of life that called you into existence. They are the qualities of creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, peaceful abundance, and receptivity. These are the highest energies of the universal Spirit itself. You came into existence from this energy, and you can match up with it energetically as you remove the low-energy pulsations from your thoughts and feelings.

~ Consider these words of the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Max Planck as he accepted his award for his study of atom: "As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as the result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of atoms together.... Why must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter." it is to this mind that I urge you to match up.

Raising Your Energy Level

~ Every thought you have has an energy that will either strengthen or weaken you. It's obviously a good idea to eliminate the thoughts that weaken you, since these thoughts are obstacles to creating a winning match with the universal, supreme source of intention. Take a moment to ponder the meaning behind Anthony de Mello's observation in One Minute Wisdom: Why is everyone here so happy except me? "Because they have learned to see the goodness and beauty everywhere," said the Master. Why don't I see goodness and beauty everywhere? "Because you cannot see outside of what you fail to see inside."

~ What you may fail to see inside is a result of how you choose to process everything and everyone in your world. You project onto the world what you see inside, and you fail to project into the world what you fail to see inside.

~ You'd raise your energy level beyond any possibility of encumberance to your connection to the power of intention. It is only discord acting within your own feelings that will ever deprive you of every good thing that life holds for you! If you understand this simple observation, you'll curb interference to intention.

~You cannot remedy anything by condemning it. You only add to the destructive energy that's already permeating the atmosphere of your life. When you react to the lower energies you encounter with your own low energies, you're actually setting up a situation that attracts more of that lower energy.

~ For example, if someone behaves in a hateful manner towards you and you respond by hating them for hating you, you're participating in a lower energy field, and impacting all who enter that field. If you're angry at those around you for being angry at people, you're attempting to remedy the situation through condemnation. Don't use weakening energies employed by those around you. Other people can't bring you down if you're operating at the higher energies.

~ Your unbending intention may be to be slim and healthy. You know that the universal all-creative Spirit brought you into existence in that microscopic dot of human cellular tissue not to be sickly, overweight, or unattractive... but to create love, be kind, and express beauty. This is what the power of intention intended for you to become. Now get this: You cannot attract attractiveness into your life by hating anything about what you've allowed yourself to become. Why? Because hatred creates a counter-force of hatred that disempowers your efforts.

~ The lesson is clear in terms of removing lower energy obstacles. We must raise ourselves to the levels of energy where we are the light we seek, where we are the happiness we desire, where we are the love we feel is missing, where we are the unlimited abundance we crave. by being it, we attract it to us.

A Mini Program for Raising Your Energy Vibrations

Become conscious of your thoughts. Every thought you have impacts you. By shifting in the middle of a weakening thought to one that strengthens, you raise your energy vibration and strengthen yourself and the immediate energy field. For example, in the midst of saying something to one of my teenage children that was intended to make her feel ashamed of her conduct, I stopped and reminded myself that there's no remedy in condemnation. I proceeded to extend love and understanding by asking her how she felt about her self-defeating behavior and what she'd like to do to correct it. The shift raised the energy level and lead to a productive conversation.

Make meditation a regular practice in your life. Even if its only for a few minutes each day while sitting at a stoplight, this practice is vital. Take some time to be silent, and repeat the sound of God as an inner mantra. Meditation allows you to make the conscious contact with your Source and regain the power of intention by assisting you in cultivating a receptivity that matches up with the force of creation.

Become conscious of the foods you eat. There are foods that calibrate low, and there are high-energy foods as well. Foods with toxic chemicals sprayed on them will make you weak even if you have no idea that the toxins are present. Artificial foods such as sweeteners are low-energy products. In general, foods high in alkalinity such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, soy, non-yeast breads, and virgin olive oil calibrate at the high end and will strengthen you on muscle testing, while highly acidic foods such as flour based cereals, meats, dairy, and sugars calibrate at the lower energies, which will weaken you. This is not an absolute for everyone; However you can detect how you feel after consuming certain foods, and if you feel weak, lethargic, and fatigued, you can be pretty sure you've allowed yourself to become a low-energy system, which will attract more of the same low energy into your life.

Retreat from low-energy substances. I discussed in chapter one how I learned that total sobriety was absolutely essential for me to achieve the level of consciousness I craved and was destined to achieve. Alcohol, and virtually all artificial drugs, legal and otherwise, lower your body's energy level and weaken you. Furthermore, they put you in a position to continue to attract more disempowering energy into your life.

Become conscious of the energy level of the music you listen to. Harsh, pounding musical vibrations with repetitive, loud sounds lower your energy level and weaken you and your ability to make conscious contact with intention. Similarly, the lyrics of hate, pain, anguish, fear, and violence are low energies sending weakening messages to your subconscious and infiltrating your life with similar attractor energies.

Become aware of the energy levels of your home environment. Prayers, paintings, crystals, statues, spiritual passages, books, magazines, the colors on your walls, and even the arrangement of your furniture all create energy into which you're catapulted for at least half of your waking life. While this may seem silly or absurd, I urge you to transcend your conditional thinking and have a mind that's open to everything. The ancient Chinese art of feng shui has been with us for thousands of years and is a gift from our ancestors. It describes ways to increase the energy field of our home and workspace.

Reduce your exposure to the very low energy of commercial and cable television. Television news programming puts a heavy emphasis on bringing the bad and the ugly into your home, and in large part, leaving out the good. This is one of the reasons I've elected to devote a significant portion of my time and efforts in support of noncommercial public television and help replace messages of negativity, hopelessness, violence, profanity, and disrespect with the higher principles that match up with the principle of intention.

Enhance your energy field with photos. You may find it difficult to believe that photography is a form of energy reproduction and that every photograph contains energy. See for yourself by strategically placing photographs taken in moments of happiness, love and receptivity to spiritual help around your living quarters, in your workplace, in your automobile, and even on your clothing or in your pocket or wallet. Arrange photographs of nature, animals, and expressions of joy and love in your environment, and let their energy radiate into your heart and provide you with their higher frequency.
