Intention is the Creative Aspect of Prayer

by Sharda Chaitanya

I came across this essay today as I perused my documents.  I don't remember publishing it and barely remember writing it.  As well, I have not yet found the original channeled message from which these quotes were borrowed.  (Commentary following quotes is mine.)  But the fact that I did find this piece moments after having my own wonderful meditation, where I did exactly what I write about, is no coincidence.  

"At this point, movement is more important than direction and intention is a more powerful choice than trying to make the right choice." 

The is the kind of rhetoric I live for.  This one sentence say so much about perspective, how to approach large and small issues, desires and goals in our life, and about the creative force within us that we are learning so  much about.  Movement is more important that direction.  To me that means, "just go, do what you want, take the first, second and third step and the path will open up.  We will find the way because the way has already found us.  We are responding to the vibration of our future selves, and that is why there cannot be any misstep, we are being prompted to join in not just the creation of Nova Earth, but our own creation as well.  We are becoming the artists of our own lives. 

The script has been written, but we have final editing rights, we can change it as we go along.  Or not.  Our free-will options, while always present, have never been more potent and in harmony with Creator.  We are being richly blessed in that, not only are we recipients of this cutting edge knowledge, we are being guided as to how to best utilize it.  Use it all, take it all, because it is infinite and perpetually renewed. We are being given gems - polished, faceted and ready to set.  We are the casement of brilliantly shining wisdom that is pouring in. 

So yes, movement, direction, implies that we have a plan, a map and a destination.  But we don't need those tools anymore; our internal GPS has gone online and we are free to roam without fear of getting lost or going astray.  We are being asked, in the most gentle tones possible, in quiet whispers, to be bold and fearless and joyful as we create what will be our new earth.  Part of our awakening takes place simultaneously as we create and watch the unfoldment that is of our making; the internal and external are moving in concentric circles to one another.  So again yes, movement.  Putting the details of direction into the hands of our trusted Mother Gaia, our Cosmic Mother, with faith, so that we can enjoy the NOW of our journey. 

"Intention is a more powerful choice than trying to make the right choice." 

 Again, it is being suggested that we not worry about the details of what is the best, what is the most right, or what might be the outcome of any given decision.  What this statement declares is that intention trumps rational thought, the effort to weigh, measure and pontificate our choices.  That only creates a precarious balancing act to which we must be in constant attendance.  The more enlightened choice, or resolve, perhaps, is to formulate an intention; such a beautiful and descriptive word.  It's an idea that implies ease, a lightness-of-being about it.  The edges of intention are fluid, they undulate, change and adjust themselves to our liking.  Intention moves in and out with the flow of energy.  

The extent of our emphasis on a subject causes our intention to adopt itself for its own propagation.  When we place into the omnipotent Universe our intention for the fulfillment of our desire, we are asking to be taken care of - we put our hearts desire into the hands of God.  This is where we let go and trust that the compassionate and benevolent worker-bees angels are organizing the details of how this should happen for us.  The work of managing the agonizing logistics are minimized -- we have surrendered our burden, expressed our wishes and opened ourselves to the world of possibilities.  Needless to say, we must contribute our part by staying connected to the source of our fulfillment (i.e., connected to our guides) and be particularly aware of the goodness that will come to us.  

Intention is the creative aspect of prayer.  Our imagination is our canvas and we can get as large and as amazing as we want.  Each time we do this we are reinforcing our intention and building on it.   "Work less, create more" is something I heard a long time ago and didn't quite get at first.  But the more I thought about it, the more I understood it.  It did not mean to sit idle and wait for Santa Claus.  It means to drop the struggle, cultivate an environment of receptivity in mind and heart and watch our creative powers flourish.  

The Universe, Creator, our guides and band of angels are all waiting for our call, for us to ask for that which we want.  Because the truth is, it is what they want, too.  Our line of sight expands each time we connect to Source.  Source wants to do what It wants also, which is to give us the best possible life, to provide us with what It has so generously prepared to give.
