Peeling Back The Seam In The Tapestry Between Intention & Volition

We speak a lot about our intentions. We intend to do many things. We try to do things and occasionally we do things. I may intentionally eat a mushroom. I may intend to eat a mushroom. My intention in no way guarantees this to be. What is the distinction between intentionally acting and the intention to act? Do we recall the old adage, "The road to ruin is paved in good intentions."? Can we look out at the world to notice the road we've been walking?

Perhaps you recall an experience from your past? "I never intended to cause an incident..." "I never intended to be late..." "I never intended to break your heart..." "But I did it anyway..."

Perhaps you've seen 'The Secret' and resonate with the teachings. As I see it there appears to be some disconnect when we consider the Law of Attraction and think that attraction operates purely on the intent of positive thought. Surely negative thoughts will only generate negative results, but positive thought doesn't assure positive results. There are components to the Law of Attraction just as there are components to an electromagnet. Whereas one takes wire and wraps it round a coil. One then has to shove energy threw the instrument. If you skip any of the parts it's like multiplying by zero.

You can take a truth and multiply it by a truth, by a truth, by a truth and in the end you will have an exponential truth.

3 x 3 x 3 x 3 = 81

Multiply any amount of truth by one lie and in the end you have perhaps a lot of circumstantial evidence which amounts to nothing.

81 x 0 = 0

As I see things the seem in the tapestry isn't between intentionally acting and the intention to act. Rather, it is between intention and volition. Could it be said that the result of any action is not threw ones intention but threw their volition? Some may argue that volition is intentionally acting. I then contend that intentionally acting doesn't necessarily result in what was intended.

One may be a vegetarian, grow their own food, and sport a bumper sticker that states, "Meat is Murder". While I applaud the disposition and intentional act. What shall we call it when a bystander sees your bumper-sticker and rather than resonating with the statement, takes offense or simply goes out and intentionally eat an animal consciously as opposed to unconsciously as a result? No you had no intention of inciting such response, but it happened anyway and the examples are immense if not limitless.

So the real magic then can be found in the dissemination of ones own volition. If the ones intention is to evolve there must be a volition to undergo transformation from within in harmony with natures laws. Rebellion, particularly against creation cannot be in the ones volition.

The Universe knows what it wants, it wants to create and evolve and it knows what it needs to do so. It needs love to evolve and it isn't threw our intention that we express our love. It is threw our volition. It's no coincidence that these words are embedded within each other both forwards and back.

Love = vol; evolve, volition, evolution, involvement, volume, volunteer are all as causally linked as the earth is to going around the sun and why interested parties who promote fear for whom intent appears to be to keep you in your condition. Some may throw around labels like "evil" or convey it threw their actions or more appropriately volition. Perhaps they fear change and seek to keep you from evilving; to live in your condition and not apply the proper remedies to cure the condition of our circumstance. Which is love and the love of ones I and yes, even our devolution would be a product of our love threw our volition.

Needless to say I think it's poetic this site is called Evolver. Something that did beckon me to join.
