Universal Law of Intention

This is your card reading for Thursday, September 22/16--a 22 Master Day AND Fall Equinox!  Your card today soared out of the 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creation' fractal art deck, authored by Lara Solara, Marlene Chapman, and Dana Da Ponte. Your card is 'Universal Law of Intention', and the author's message for the card is this:
"This law states that this is a Universe of infinite possibilities, and within every intention there lies the possibility for its fulfillment.  When intention is clear and focused it becomes a power that attracts the means necessary for its fulfillment.  Strengthen the power of your intention by focusing more energy and attention into it.  Create a detailed vision os what you want.  Ask yourself what it is the you REALLY want and discover the deeper reason that underlies your intention. The Universe responds to your authentic intentions, whether or not you are consciously aware of what they are.  Experience the self-discovery that is gained by looking more deeply into your desires and motives.  Ask yourself this question and be honest with yourself: why do you want what you want?  You may be surprised at the answers.  The authentic intention behind a thought or action will ultimately determine the outcome that results.  This card is bringing your attention to your intentions. It may be time to re-evaluate your intentions.  Or perhaps it is time to recommit to an intention you valued in the past. Fuel your intentions with your belief, energy, and vision. Let go of the notion of limits. The Universe is reminding you that where there is a will there is a way.  It is time to set your intentions, believe in yourself, and boldly move forward.
HOW TO HARMONIZE WITH THIS LAW
Spend time organizing your intentions into a clear and coherent vision.  Write yourself a mission statement or create a list of key intentions that you are committed to living by. Place this statement in a spot where you will be reminded of it daily.  Read it over regularly and make changes to it when you discover that your intentions have changed."

My message for you today is this:
I hold a strong core belief in the power of INTENTION!  To me, everything is about the INTENTION that you bring to something! And so, a few years ago, when I was on Vancouver Island at a 6 day Immersion with Panache Desai--whom I felt such an affinity with, and was SO EXCITED to be learning from--to hear him state that we should refrain from indulging in setting intentions, because to do so would only bring us suffering sent me into a tail spin!!!  What?!?
How could I feel so aligned, vibrationally, with this spiritual mentor and yet have such a divergent viewpoint of  a key word in my life and belief system???  After delving into this further, and much discussion, what I came to was that the way in which Panache and I DEFINED the word INTENTION, was very different! It is one of the challenges we face here in this physical existence...attempting to 'label' and 'name' that which is really beyond words (and this coming from a person who highly values the power of the word)!  In Panache's frame of reference, to set an INTENTION meant to expect a certain, specific OUTCOME. Whereas, in my frame of reference, to set an INTENTION meant to plant a SEED---with the realization that you couldn't predict exactly how that seed would germinate, grow and bloom.  To me, setting the intention is a key component of manifesting what you desire in your life, even as you understand that HOW it comes to be is often a 'surprise'! 
I argued with Panache's statement that 'we should not set intentions because they would only bring us suffering when we didn't get the intended results' by saying: but, if you hadn't set the intention to hold this Immersion, and we hadn't set the intention to attend this Immersion, then it wouldn't happen!!! And I further explained that when I set the intention to attend, I DIDN'T hold any specific expectations about WHAT the experience would be...quite the opposite!  I planted the seed by setting the intention to attend, and then went in with an open mind about what I would experience and learn there. Can you see the difference? 
(And trust me...I could not have scripted what I experienced at that Immersion in my wildest imagination! It was incredible and Soulful and so expansive!)
We are being reminded today to look HONESTLY at what our intentions are as we strive to live our life from a Soulful, conscious place. What seeds are you planting and what is your motivation in planting them?  In the prevailing energies, I have no doubt that you have been feeling the need to reevaluate some of the intentions you had set previously. Do they still feel in alignment with who you are now? If not, why not? This is in NO WAY about self-judgment but rather, self-reflection.  
On this day of Equinox--when we leave one season behind to move into another--look consciously to what it is that you INTEND for yourself.  The more clear you are in your vision, the more precise will be the response of the Universe.  The power of intention, to me is the ENERGY you bring to something. Even expressing the words 'I love you' can be fuelled by different intentions and thereby hold a different energy. In expressing these words to another, is your intention to manipulate; or to chastise; or to uplift; or to encourage? All hold very different 'vibes', dependent upon your underlying intention in saying them. 
The Universal Law of Intention has been brought to your attention today so that you will utilize it in moving in the direction that your Soul desires for you.  Use this day to deliberate upon the seeds of intention you wish to plant in your life at this time.
Blessed be...
