Intentions And Effects, by Gary Zukav

Absichten und Auswirkungen
von Gary Zukav

Hast du dich jemals gefragt, warum Dinge so passieren, wie sie in deinem Leben passieren? Hast du jemals daran gedacht, dass die Entstehung deiner Erfahrungen, wie die Entstehung von allem anderen, durch das Gesetz von Ursache und Wirkung bestimmt wird? In diesem Fall das unphysikalische Gesetz von Ursache und Wirkung. Das physikalische Gesetz von Ursache und Wirkung regelt physikalische Ursachen und physikalische Effekte, wie z.B. den Start einer Rakete und deren Landung auf dem Mond. Das physikalische Gesetz von Ursache und Wirkung ist eine begrenzte Version des nicht-physikalischen Gesetzes von Ursache und Wirkung.

Das nicht-physikalische Gesetz erlaubt es dir, nicht-physikalische Ursachen zu nutzen, um nicht-physikalische Effekte und auch physikalische Effekte zu erzeugen. Das bedeutet nicht, dass du die Kontrolle über das, was du erschaffst, nicht hast. Im Gegenteil! Es bedeutet, dass du völlig frei bist, das zu erschaffen, was du willst, vorausgesetzt, du weißt, wie das nicht-physikalische Gesetz von Ursache und Wirkung funktioniert. Wenn ihr euch dieses Gesetzes und seiner Funktionsweise nicht bewusst seid, werdet ihr erschaffen, wie ihr es ständig tut, aber ihr werdet nicht wollen, was ihr erschafft.

Die nicht-physischen Ursachen, die du ständig benutzt, um Auswirkungen in deinem Leben zu erzeugen, sind deine Absichten! Das ist (wörtlich) Unsinn für die fünfsinnigen (empirischen) Wissenschaften, denn deine fünf Sinne können Absichten nicht erkennen, aber Absichten sind so real wie jede körperliche Ursache, und die Effekte, die sie erzeugen, sind genauso real.

Eure Absichten sind eure nicht-physischen Ursachen, die die Energie in Bewegung setzen. Sie erzeugen eine Vielzahl von Wirkungen und bestimmen damit die Erfahrungen deines Lebens. Dies gehört zu den wichtigsten Faktoren, die du wissen kannst. Es ist auch etwas, das du für dich selbst als zutreffend empfinden kannst. Das Experimentieren mit deinem Leben befähigt dich, etwas anderes zu erschaffen, aber du solltest bewusst neue Ursachen (Absichten) wählen. Wenn du nicht bewusst andere Absichten wählst, werden unbewusste Teile deiner Persönlichkeit (die verängstigten Teile) sie für dich auswählen, zusammen mit den Folgen, die sie für dich hervorrufen werden.

Um die Erfahrungen deines Lebens zu verändern (z.B. von wütend zu anerkennend oder von ängstlich zu freudig), musst du dir der Absichten bewusst werden, die du von Moment zu Moment wählst, und der Erfahrungen, denen du begegnest, und dann die Verbindungen zwischen deinen Absichten und deinen Erfahrungen herstellen. Je bewusster du dir deiner Absichten und Erfahrungen wirst, desto mehr wirst du in der Lage sein, die beiden zu verbinden, und desto mehr wirst du in der Lage sein, die Erfahrungen deines Lebens bewusst zu gestalten. Das ist die Entwicklung der Meisterschaft. Es ist die Schaffung von authentischer Macht.

Kernfragen zum Nachdenken: Was bedeutet es für dich, bewusst neue Ursachen zu wählen? Kannst du eine persönliche Geschichte aus einer Zeit erzählen, in der du den Zusammenhang zwischen deinen Absichten und deinen Erfahrungen erkannt hast? Was hilft dir, dir der Absichten bewusst zu werden, die du von Moment zu Moment wählst?

I am amazed and in awe of the remarkable ways the universe works. Just a few weeks ago after learning about Gary Zukav's Seat of the soul and hearing him speak I learnt about the power of intensions. I searched relentlessly for someone to help me understand this concept until I stumbled upon this blog. It brought some clarity but there are still many questions in my mind. I have always considered myself a well intentionedperson to the point of being naive. "Seeing the good in every situation and people". I am wondering where did I go wrong and why am I continuing to attract experiences and people who are in stark contrast to my personality and my being. Why is it that. despite approaching every situation from a place of compassion and understanding I am failing to attract the kind of experiences and people that bring true joy. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

I think I can Identify with the latter part of what u wrote sheriff. My personal opinion, is that u feel people's pain, and people like u and I feel that we must act, we must help. But as we understand from Gary's writing intention is always ruling our lives and it is one with cause and effect. I therefore, hasten to say the more we r able to rearly understand our intention, we will be better able to avoid falling over and over again into some of these same situations. For example, some people, when they understand that u r a compassionate or empathetic person, they quietly take advantage of u.

Intention is the preliminary portal to journey through till it reaches the action point.Just as good seeds tossed in fertile soil yield good produce, so too good intentions strewn over all conscious self over a period of time yield the fruit of good actions.
No wonder, our elders keep saying that the thoughts need to be pure in order to give birth to good deeds. Just as a seed holds the potential of growing into a huge forest, so also a thought packs in itself a capsule of powerful energy waiting to burst forth into action.
There is a saying in sanskrit, yad bhaavam, tat bhavathi, which means as you feel , so it happens. If a t a thought level a negative feeling is nipped, it does not dare to see the light of action.
As the body is what it is fed, so is the mind. You are as healthy as the diet you feed to yourself, both body and soul..
The writer is bang on the basics of life.

When I see the words 'intentions and effects' I remember that humans have a powerful source of power called 'the will'. When we are aware and apply the will we gain volition and can proceed from a beginning towards a goal. Every day, even several times a day we can meditate (at least remember) our goal and apply the will again. In time we see the results of our persistence.

I think nonlocal correlation is a more accurate term than non physical law of cause and effect. Intentions, if they are chosen consciously or unconsciously, are factors in non local correlation of energy and life, and there are many additional factors, conscious and unconscious, that contribute to outcome. We don't operate by mechanical cause and effect at any level, even when we think we do. We aren't "entirely free" to create what we want no matter what law we are aware of or believe in. Moving forward, consciously choosing our causes or intentions means choosing them with awareness and intentionality. My intentions have a limiting effect on my experience, so I'd better consciously choose intentions that open and not close my experience. My primary intention is to grow and blossom, become all that I can, and that intention seems to leave me open to broad experience and not put blinders on my seeing. What helps me be aware of the intent... View full comment

Reminds me of what Jayeshbhai often keeps telling us....to purify our intentions! I've found that the journey between thought and intention is that of gross to subtle....intention to me is almost at a level of instinct, it is without words, almost like a sense of energy.....to reach there though isn't an easy journey for me because it is often mixed up with so many primal desires, conditioning and "mixed signals"

Thats probably what purifying intentions mean - to connect more and more to the essence of that intention...

Equally at Blue Ribbon we're experimenting with what does shared intention look like - the one that is arrived at through non-violent consensus....seems that the journey itself has its own gifts

Life is an airplane, you either drive it or it is on autopilot. If you have not been driving, do not complain it did not take you to where you want to be. Also, when you drive, you live it; when you do not, you do not.

Our intentions play vital and central role in creating what we want in our life. We need to be aware of our intentions when we make choices in our life consciously.. Out intentions cause experieences. Good intentions cause good experiences and ggod consequences. Bad intentions cause bad experiences and bad consequences. Our nonphysical world is govenred by our intentions. My intention is to live healthily, happily and peacefully. I become mindful or aware of what choices I make in eating, in sleeping, and keeping my body in a good and healthy state. I also become mindful or aware of my thoughts, feelings, words and actions that create and sustain my mental and emotional health and wholesomwe relationships.When my thoughts and actions are not in tune with my intensions, I cause suffering to me and to others. So it is upto me to live healthily or unhealthily, peacefully or hatefully, happily or unhappily. The choice is mine. Living mindfully helps me to walk cons... View full comment
