Intent and Effect

“Pat Fischer, the Redskin cornerback, told the reporters after the game that the ball seemed to jump over his hands as he went for it. When we studied the game film that week, it did look as if the ball kind of jumped over his hands into Gene’s. Some of the guys said it was the wind … (but) our sense of the pass was so clear and our intention so strong that the ball was bound to get there, come wind, cornerbacks, hell, or high water.” John Brodie

I know of a remarkable woman who served as an instructor in a difficult public school setting helping young people who have profoundly severe learning disabilities. She taught a listening therapy that enabled her students to sit in their seats longer, focus more intently and easily, attain higher levels of concentration and achievement and moderate their own behaviors – things they could not formerly have dreamed of doing. Parents noticed the difference and so did the students themselves. Her intent to help these children reshaped their realities. The universe gets behind such efforts and magnifies them. She aligned herself with the angels and she changed the world around her.

How does intent achieve effect? Matter is not solid in the way we typically believe. It is simply constructed of bundles of energy (Einstein called them quanta) comprised of different frequencies and wavelengths. Therefore, humans are not solid in the sense that most believe – our bodies simply consist of denser forms of energy. Because energy responds to energy – and our consciousness possesses an energetic element - it is possible to affect any form or process we choose. And because the universe is non-local, we can do so without regard to distance. Many scientific studies demonstrate the low level effect of focused intent.

Helmut Schmidt found that human consciousness could influence the outcomes generated by a mechanical high-speed random number generator. Will Braud discovered that mental influence could affect the rate of hemolysis in red blood cells. Robert Brier found that focused intent could alter the functioning of a plant’s bio-electrical system. Marcel Vogel’s studies suggested that it was possible to harm a plant simply by projecting negative thoughts toward it. Carroll Nash demonstrated that humans could accelerate or retard bacterial growth simply by exercising mental influence over the cultures in a Petri dish. Nash’s findings were supported by Jean Barry who achieved the same results with fungus. Some studies suggest that transcendental meditation practitioners can lower crime rates in specific geographic areas.

What is remarkable is that these studies, except for the use of TM practitioners, involved the use of “everyday”, “ordinary” people who were not conversant in the field of paranormal activity.

If a person’s soul, mind, emotions and body are aligned, s/he can act as an effective conduit of spirit, achieving even more remarkable outcomes, constellating events in an immediate and dramatic way. The laying on of hands heals a person of a life-threatening disease. A person talks with an addict, who has an epiphany and turns once and for all away from self-abuse. A teacher reconstructs reality for a little girl with a learning disability and, in the twinkling of an eye, changes her life forever.

Of course, most changes build over periods of time – sometimes short and sometimes longer and depending on what our goal is – as sufficient levels of energetic mass are reached to impact process in the third dimension.

But as you become more accomplished in understanding how to bring about change and in learning the techniques involved in channeling your abilities, you can shorten the time it takes to reach manifestation of any defined goal.

“I tell you this: if only you have faith and have no doubts … you need only say to this mountain, be lifted from your place and hurled into the sea, and what you say will be done.” Jesus of Nazareth.
