THE LAW of
INTENTION and
DESIRE
The Seven spiritual laws of Success
¶24
Inherent in every intention and desire is the
mechanics for its fulfillment. . . intention and desire in the field of pure potentiality have infinite organizing power.
And when we introduce an intention in the fer-
tile ground of pure potentiality, we put this infinite organiyng power to work for us.
In the beginning there was desire, which was
the first seed of mind; sages, having meditated in their hearts, have discovered by their wisdom the connection of the existent with the non-existent.
The Hymn of Creation, The Rig Veda
The fifth spiritual law of success is the Law of Intention and Desire. This law is based on the fact that energy and information exist everywhere in nature. In fact, at the level of the quantum field, there is nothing other than energy and information. The quantum field is just another label for the field of pure consciousness or pure potentiality. And this quantum field is influenced by intention and desire. Lets examine this process in detail.
A flower, a rainbow, a tree, a blade of grass, a human body, when broken down to their essential components, are energy and information. The whole universe, in its essential nature, is the movement of energy and information. The only difference between you and a tree is the informational and energy content of your respective bodies.
On the material level, both you and the tree are made up of the same recycled elements: mostly carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other elements in minute amounts. You could buy these elements in a hardware store for a couple of dollars. The difference, therefore, between you and the tree is not the carbon, or the hydrogen, or the oxygen. In fact; you and the tree are constantly exchanging your carbon and oxygen with each other. The real difference between the two of you is in the energy and in the information.
In the scheme of nature, you and I are a privileged species. We have a nervous system that is capable of becoming aware of the energy and informational content of that localized field that gives rise to our physical body. We experience this field subjectively as our own thoughts, feelings, emotions, desires, memories, instincts, drives, and beliefs. This same field is experienced objectively as the physical body and through the physical body, we experience this field as the world. But its all the same stuff. That is why the ancient seers exclaimed, I am that, you are that, all this is that, and thats all there is.
Your body is not separate from the body of the universe, because at quantum mechanical levels there are no well-defined edges. You are like a wiggle, a wave, a fluctuation, a convolu-tion, a whirlpool, a localized disturbance in the larger quantum field. The larger quantum field
the universe is your extended body.
Not only is the human nervous system capable of becoming aware of the information and energy of its own quantum field, but because human consciousness is infinitely
