Holy Intention

This Week's Quotation:

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.

~ Margaret Meade

Holy Intention

Terri McCartney

Hardship and tragedy may have us questioning whether our Creator abandoned us. At the same time, these situations represent moments when our certainty that God alone is sufficient must be unwavering. What a paradox! It's a huge challenge to summon that certainty without support from resonant travelers.

Imagine the ripples of blessing released by a community that has that certainty. A community committed to freeing themselves of all the deeply ingrained habits of fear and separation. And committed to supporting others in doing so.

Lynne McTaggart's research into the power of intention confirms Margaret Meade's assertion. McTaggart's Intention Experiments demonstrate that a focused group's intention for healing as the outcome has made a lovely difference in the lives of those involved.

The practice of shifting our perceptions from the field of darkness to the field of light is how transformation occurs, one thought at a time. How do we do this? Via holy intention.

Holy intention acknowledges the call for the light at the root of all that has been relegated to separation. It deeply penetrates all the seemingly impenetrable barriers. Additionally, it illuminates what is in the dark. We become alchemists who transform the energy of fear into the power of love within ourselves. Then, we are readily available to shine that light wherever it is needed.

While many problems appear to be confronting us or the world, our holy intention rests a healing blessing wherever needed. Whenever we find the intensity of circumstances in the red zone, we can trust that our holy intention will ease the load.

May our holy intentions be bastions of light in whatever circumstances we find ourselves.
