[...] I recently spoke of the idea of Place and how you may feel about where you are in a very literal sense. How you are with what is includes where. I suspect improvement with change will often have more to do with psychology – how we feel about the change. We move towards what we want or away from what we don’t want. Naturally then, the experience will be of hope and betterment. It also gets us out of our ruts, obliges us to think about what we want and see the world more freshly. We get back to the basics of intention. [...]

Hi David,

I really enjoyed this post… well I enjoy all your posts but I happen to be working through the concept of intention a bit more lately.

I’m watching some interesting shifts taking place in my life as a result.

All the best with the move.

Hi Davidya,
Good explanation. Attention is spotlight of Awareness, and intention is the direction of the spotlight…but it always comes back to the truth that the mind must be quiet enough so that we can directly experience the truth about intention and attention. As I release, I find that many desires/intentions vanish. What doesn’t vanish is the strong intention to be natural, joyful being. What you say about karma (perhaps its more samskara) is true; with release, older stuff comes up and sometimes we don’t know its older stuff, as it comes up as irritation and confusion. Interesting stuff…
