The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success – One Hour of Wisdom: A Pocketbook Guide to Fulfilling Your Dreams (English Edition)

Attention energizes, and intention transforms. Whatever we put our attention on grows stronger in our life; whatever we take our attention away from withers and
disappears. Intention triggers the transformation of energy and information, and organizes its own fulfillment. The quality of intention on the object of attention orchestrates an infinity of details to bring about the intended outcome.
We see the expression of this organizing power in every blade of grass, in every flower, in everything that is alive. In the scheme of nature, everything is connected and correlated with everything else. The groundhog comes out of the earth, and we know it is going to be spring. Birds begin to migrate in a certain direction at a certain time of the year. Nature is a symphony that is silently orchestrated at the ultimate ground of creation. As long as we do not violate the other laws of nature, we can use conscious intent to literally command the powers of nature to fulfill our dreams and desires. Intention is the real power behind desire because it is desire
without attachment to the outcome. Desire in most people is attention with attachment to the outcome. But when we combine intention with detachment, our intent is for the future, while our attention is in the present. Present-moment awareness is powerful, because the future is created by our actions in the present. We cannot take action in the past or in the future. Past and future are born
in the imagination. Only the present, which is awareness, is real and eternal. How can you harness the power of intention to fulfill your dreams and desires? You can
get results through effort, but if you follow these five steps in the Law of Intention and Desire, your intention will generate its own power:
1) Center yourself in the silent space between thoughts in the essential state of Being;
2) Release your intentions and desires with the expectation that they will bloom
when the season is right;
3) Keep your desires to yourself; do not share them with anyone else unless they are closely bonded with you;
4) Relinquish your attachment to the outcome; and
5) Let the universe handle the details.
