intuition vs intention

Intuition is a higher form of thinking,
a psychic power.
If prayer is you talking to god,
intuition is god talking to you.
As you begin to elevate your consciousness
as you begin to live a more god-realized life,
as you live more in alignment with source,
thinking like god thinks,
acting like god thinks,
thinking more about serving,
putting your attention on miracles,
inviting into your heart whatever it is you need, not doubting, but having absolute knowing,
elevating your consciousness,
intuition starts to click in.
You start having syncronicity.
People start showing up.
Strange things that you didn't thing were possible begin to happen.
You begin to communicate more with people who are not here anymore.

Intention is the field from which all things are intended.
(Most of us think of us as a high amount of internal motivation: "I'm going to make it happen". But no.)
Intention is a field in the universe from which all things are intended.
You align yourself with that field.
As you're aligned with that,
then your intuition,
your communication with higher things that aren't in the physical world,
begins to appear.
In the presence of the god-realized,
in the presence of those who are living from a place of intention,
the laws of the physical world do not apply.
They're simply not there any more.
You can defy all logic and things like that.

the self within the living body

... the indestructible, transcendental living entity is called Brahman, and his etrnal nature is called adhyatma, the self. Action pertaining to the development of the material bodies of the living entities is called karma, or fruitive activities.

... you should always think of me ... and at the same time carry out your prescribed duty.... With your activities dedicated to me and your mind and intelligence fixed on me, you will attain me without doubt.

Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 8

weather

Professional, social, financial conditions change like the weather.
I fear not. I enjoy thunderstorms. I find them invigorating, exhilarating.
I enjoy all changes as ever renewing manifestations of the good.

The root cause of piracy in Somalia

Paraphrased:
Illegal fishing is happening off the coast of Somalia. Fishing boats from France, Spain, Greece, UK, Norway, Russia, Taiwan - it's a free-for-all. And those countries' navies and warships are there, protecting their own illegal fishing vessels. A tremendous injustice.

Toxic dumping, industrial waste dumping, nuclear dumping has also been going on for the last 30 years. To avoid strict environmental rules in their own countries, where else to take it, but to countries in conflict or weak countries who could not prevent them or who could be bought.

When the marine resources of Somalia were pillaged, when the waters were poisoned, when the fish was stolen, and in a poverty situation in the whole country, the fishermen felt that they had no other possibilities or other recourse but to fight the properties and the shipping of the same countries that have been carrying on the fishing piracy and toxic dumping.

Nature as property

Quote:
Our environmental movement has always been based on nature as property. In other words, owning ten acres of ground in the United States, carries with it the legal ability to destroy the ecosystems on that ten-acre piece of property. What is increasingly growing is a realization that for a real environmental movement to occur, ecosystems must have legally enforceable rights of their own.

Thirteen municipalities in the United States now have passed local laws that say that nature and ecosystems are no longer property, but actually have legally enforceable rights of their own. And Ecuador became the first country in the world to take that concept of moving to a rights-based environmental protection system and ensconce it into their national constitution. It’s now law.

it will be forever

http://www.last.fm/music/Nat+King+Cole/_/When+I+Fall+in+Love?autostart=1

When I fall in love it will be forever
Or Ill never fall in love
In a restless world like this is
Love is ended before its begun
And too many moonlight kisses
Seem to cool in the warmth of the sun

When I give my heart it will be completely
Or Ill never give my heart
And the moment I can feel that you feel that way too
Is when I fall in love with you.

Change the world

If I could reach the stars I'd pull one down for you
Shine it on my heart so you could see the truth
That this love I have inside is everything it seems
But for now I find it's only in my dreams

CHORUS:
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world

If I could be king even for a day
I'd take you as my queen I'd have it no other way
And our love will rule in this kingdom we have made
Till then I'd be a fool wishin' for the day

CHORUS:
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world

CHORUS:
That I can change the world
I would be the sunlight in your universe
You will think my love was really something good
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world
Baby if I could change the world

Breath in, breath out

Picture a tree. The top of the tree sways as it blows back and forth in the wind.
If you look at the top of the tree you might think it unstable.
When you look at the trunk of the tree you see it is very stable.

We are like that.
When the emotions are running through us
we can remember that is not all we are.
We are also the trunk.

- Thich Nhat Hanh
