I find myself seated in a restaurant that reminds me of one that I was in on the way to the Grand Canyon. We are seated at a large round table with large menus in front of our faces. Still Waters speaks....
"I'm not sure what I want. I may go with the chicken fried steak or the lamb chops. What about you?"
I am confused. What are we doing here? But I play along...."Well, I kind of like the steak salad myself but the chicken fried steak sounds good...with lots of gravy!".
He lowers his menu and looks at me and smiles. The waitress comes over to take our order. She looks at me and I shrug...still playing along. "I think I'll have the chicken fried steak with plenty of gravy and mashed potatoes please." She smiles and says "great choice!" She turns to Still Waters and smiles..."and you sir?"
"I think I'll have the beef liver".....huh? She finishes his order and walks away.
"I thought you were having the chicken fried steak?" I ask.
He smiles...."I thought about having it but until I moved forward with it...until I made the decision it was still just a thought. I had to act on the thought and I changed my mind"....do you understand?"
I sat there for a moment. Realizing what he was trying to tell me. That until the thought is formed and a movement is made by me the intent or the thought cannot become reality. It exists to be used by me or not by me. The kitchen held many chicken fried steaks for many people....I just chose mine. And Still Waters had chosen his own thought to become reality.
"Ok...I understand that thought becomes reality when we put energy behind it. So, you're telling me that just because we think something doesn't make it so...it makes it a possibility. And whether we move on it or not indicates the amount of strength the thought has to then become an intention. Am I right?"
"Yes, but let me explain. The thought is just that...a thought. Many people put a lot of importance on them when they are just passing ideas that flow through your minds like the speed of light. An intention is something much deeper. An intention actually makes the thought a possibility that when acted on becomes reality. Intending something actually means that the person has given the thought energy....sees themself doing the thing they seek or want. That's why it is always taken into consideration during your court trials. Did the person "intend" to harm the other person? And by "intending" .. the action was taken and the harm was done. Intention is what makes the thought reality or brings it life. Good thoughts and bad thoughts...the Universe holds no judgement against it. It just is. Am I making myself clear?"
"Yes I believe so.....so I needn't worry about every little thought that I have becoming reality. Some of them are not so nice. (hey, I'm only human.) But the fact that I don't put intent or energy behind those thoughts means that they won't happen or are just hanging there as possibilities to use in the future. Am I right?"
"Yes, but it is also true when "wanting" something. Without the intent it has no energy to succeed. Steps must be taken to move forward with it. It will have no energy on it's own without it. People sit and wonder when their ship will come in or when they will have true love. But the point is, is that they sit. They sit home wondering when opportunity will knock on their door. It doesn't work like that. Intent means actually making a move....a step...it's all it takes for the Universe to know that that person is serious about their "wanting" and when it knows.. it moves heaven and earth to help the person have it."
"I get it.."
"Great!" he smiles. "Now let's eat"......
Great post you two! What roll does the law of attraction play in all this? If your thoughts are vibrations that bring you more of the same thing you are vibrating, does the thought have to have intention to vibrate enough to attract?
