The Goal of Intention
Adapted from Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire by Deepak Chopra (Harmony Books, 2007).
An intention is a way of fulfilling a certain need that you have, whether that need is for material things, for a relationship, for spiritual fulfillment, or for love. Intention is a thought that you have that will help you to fulfill a need. And the logic is that once you fulfill that need, you will be happy.
Seen this way, the goal of all our intentions is to be happy or fulfilled. So we can see that the ultimate goal of all goals is a fulfillment at the spiritual level that we call happiness or joy or love.
When intention is repeated, that creates habit. The more an intention is repeated, the more likely it is that the universal consciousness will create the same pattern and manifest the intention in the physical world.
Only with repeated thoughts can the impossible be made possible through the intention of the nonlocal mind, the communal “I.”

Intention is the sub contious way of bringing order into the chaos of your soul. When all chaos is sorted and tidied up there is paradise, inside and out, whatever that may be.

Reminded me of something I once wrote so thought you might like to share it...
When you can dream it, you have planted a seed
When you can voice it, you're nurturing a seedling
When you walk your talk
Act out your truth
You've created your dream
Made your own destiny
Chosen and created
Your own reality

Interesting this subject today about intention, as I've been thinking about it recently, and how it would affect my reality, to do more things with intention, and how that might heighten my awareness, of what I'm doing.

intention can be good or bad and actions accordingly follow.Really speaking inention is something that arises after rational considerations and some sort of conscious analysis.So all that Mr.Chopra says is let the intention arise and convert to action that benefits the world at large and included is you

Excellent Deepak! Keep it up. My intention is to achieve a thoughtless position completely prostrating to the Universal Teacher, who is Absolute Truth, Pure Consciousness and Bliss, who is beyond all differences, who is ever full, without attributes, formless, who is all-pervading and ever-centered in the Self.

If I good undertood from my vocabolary difference: intent and intention...so intent is a part of consiousness (other are energy and awarness)- this I have read today. That mean that in all our life the presence of intent in our mind give direction of our energy...intentionally we can do many things good and wrong (under efect of emotions...)but when we put attention on our life , our energy illuminated of our awarness, it will be in name of Love, of true...

I disagree with the underlying logic of this statement. Intent towards a particular event or goal MAY be centered upon happiness of self or others but that is not necessarily the "intent" of the intent.
When I do magic, healing, prayer, spells; whatever you call my "sending out of intent"; it is often for health, well-being, or practical needs of people I know, situations, or the healing of the earth in general.
I simply do not agree that the "ultimate goal of all goals is .... happiness, or joy or love." Colleen Kelly
