Reconnecting to the Field of Intention: Accessing Your Creator Source
People struggle endlessly, working harder yet often achieving less. Constantly battling obstacles that seem deliberately placed in their path. Yet others seem to achieve things with little effort.
What's the difference? Is it luck? Superior talent? Better opportunities?
They set an intention, and the universe appears to conspire in their favor. Some people say it’s becase they manifest their desires? Unfortunately the word manifesting can give the wrong impression. Lets look at what I think it could mean.
The Field of Intention
Ancient wisdom speaks of a fundamental interconnectedness. This spiritual concept builds upon the mysteries that quantum physics has revealed. We can explore our connection (or disconnection) from what might be called the 'field of intention'—a universal force that connects everything and everyone, serving as the source of all creation.
"Intention is a force in the universe that allows the act of creation to take place."
Intention may not merely be a mental activity or goal-setting exercise. Consider that it’s a field of energy that flows invisibly beyond our perception, connecting all things and beings. This field existed before you were born and continues to influence every aspect of your existence.
Think of intention as the organizing principle behind creation itself—the intelligence that transforms energy into matter, potential into actuality, and thought into form. It's the source of creativity, imagination, and every manifestation in the physical world.
This field isn't distant or separate from you. In fact, it’s possible you emanated from it. Your very existence is an expression of this universal creating principle. Like a wave arising from the ocean, you are a localized expression of this infinite field—distinct in form but never truly separate from your source.
The challenge most of us face isn't accessing something foreign or external but reconnecting with what we've always been part of. It's about removing the barriers we've constructed that create the illusion of separation from our creative source.
The Ego: The Primary Disconnector
"Intention cannot be accessed through ego."
If we're naturally connected to this powerful field of intention, why do so many of us struggle to manifest what we want? Why does life sometimes feel like an uphill battle rather than a harmonious flow?
The primary barrier is what spiritual traditions call the ego—not simply self-importance but the entire construct of a separate self with its fears, desires, and constant need for control and validation.
The ego creates a false idea of who we are. It convinces us we're isolated individuals fighting for survival in a hostile world. It thrives on scarcity thinking, comparison, and the belief that we must struggle to deserve good things.
This ego-constructed identity is like static on a radio, preventing us from clearly receiving the signals from the field of intention. It's not that the field has abandoned us—we've simply lost the ability to tune into its frequency.
The good news is that this disconnection isn't permanent. It can be overcome through awareness and practice. By weakening the ego's supremacy and consciously seeking to align with intention, we can reconnect with our creative source and access its unlimited potential.
The Four Stages of Intention
"Activating intention means rejoining our Source and being aware of pre-existing possibilities."
Activating intention is not a single step but a progressive journey that unfolds in four distinct stages:
1. Discipline: The first stage involves training the body to perform as our thoughts desire. This creates the foundation for intention by establishing harmony between physical action and mental direction. Without this basic alignment, our intentions remain scattered and ineffective.
2. Wisdom: In the second stage, we learn to direct our thoughts toward the power of intention rather than toward fear, limitation, or lack. This requires discernment—the ability to distinguish between ego-driven thinking and thoughts aligned with our highest purpose.
3. Love: The third stage involves radiating love as the energy of intention. Love isn't just an emotion but a vibrational state that naturally harmonizes with the field of intention. When we operate from love rather than fear, we become natural conduits for intentional energy.
4. Surrender: The final and most powerful stage involves letting go of ego demands and allowing the power of intention to guide us. This doesn't mean passive resignation but active trust in the wisdom of the universal mind, which exceeds our limited perspective.
These stages aren't necessarily sequential. We may cycle through them repeatedly, deepening our understanding and expression of each one as we progress on our journey of reconnection.
Combining Free Will with Intention
One of the most profound paradoxes we face is the relationship between personal will and universal intention. How do we harmonize our individual choices with the larger flow of life?
The key lies in recognizing that free will isn't about imposing our ego's demands on reality but about consciously choosing to align with the universal mind. When we harmonize free will with intention, we're not surrendering our autonomy but expanding it beyond the limitations of the separate self.
This alignment doesn't happen automatically. It requires awareness, particularly of the signs that indicate we've fallen out of harmony with intention. These signs include:
- Feeling as though life is working against you
- Encountering persistent obstacles with resistance
- Experiencing chronic stress, anxiety, or dissatisfaction
- Needing to force outcomes using willpower or manipulation
- Feeling disconnected from your sense of purpose or meaning
When you notice these signs, they serve as valuable feedback—not punishment but guidance indicating it's time to reconnect with your purpose and the field of intention that supports it.
The Seven Faces of Intention
To reconnect with the field of intention, it helps to understand its essential qualities or "faces." These aren't separate aspects but interconnected expressions of the same unified field.
In his book "The Power of Intention" Wayne Dyer identifies 7 faces of intention:
1. Creative: Intention is inherently creative, continually bringing new forms into existence. Connecting to this face means trusting your purpose and giving form to your intentions without self-doubt or second-guessing.
2. Kind: The field of intention expresses boundless kindness and goodwill. Being on the same kindness wavelength as intention means extending compassion to yourself and others without expectation of return.
3. Loving: Pure love—acceptance without judgment or condition—characterizes the field of intention. Expressing this face means fostering environments of cooperation, support, and mutual respect.
4. Beautiful: Beauty is not merely aesthetic but a harmony of form and function. Harmonizing with this face means appreciating beauty in all its expressions and creating with an awareness of the beautiful.
5. Expanding: Intention naturally expands, never contracts. It increases creativity, kindness, love, and beauty. Connecting to this face means embracing growth and evolution rather than limitation and stagnation.
6. Abundant: The field of intention is endlessly abundant, lacking nothing. Matching intention's abundance means dispelling scarcity consciousness and recognizing that there is more than enough for everyone.
7. Receptive: Intention is perpetually receptive, open to all possibilities. Embodying this face means being open to guidance and giving back to the world from a place of gratitude.
By consciously cultivating these qualities in your own life, you naturally align with the field of intention, removing the barriers that create the illusion of separation.
Removing Obstacles to Intention
"The reconnected self... is free of constraints based on views of scarcity."
Reconnecting to intention requires identifying and addressing the obstacles that block our connection. Three primary barriers often stand in our way:
1. Inner Speech: Our internal dialogue can either support or sabotage our connection to intention. When dominated by negative thoughts, self-doubt, or limitation, our inner speech creates resistance to the flow of intention. Monitoring this dialogue and shifting from thoughts of what we don't want to what we intend to attract is essential.
2. Energy Levels: Low-frequency energy states like shame, anger, fear, or apathy create dissonance with the high-frequency field of intention. Raising your energy through practices like meditation, time in nature, and surrounding yourself with high-energy people is crucial for reconnection.
3. Self-Importance: When we place our ego's desires and demands at the center of our universe, we paradoxically diminish our access to intention's power. Releasing self-importance—not through self-deprecation but through recognizing our participation in something larger than ourselves—opens the channel to intention.
Addressing these obstacles doesn't happen overnight. It's an ongoing process of awareness, adjustment, and recommitment to alignment with our creative source.
The Impact on Relationships
"Connecting to intention impacts everyone around you."
When you reconnect to the field of intention, the effects extend far beyond your personal experience. Your relationships naturally transform as you begin to perceive and interact with others from a higher level of awareness.
This shift enables you to establish spiritual relationships—connections based on the unfolding of spirit rather than ego needs or transactional exchanges. These relationships are characterized by:
- Wanting for others what you want for yourself
- Seeing beyond surface behaviors to the divine essence within each person
- Maintaining high expectations that inspire growth rather than judgment
- Creating environments where everyone can thrive in their unique expression
Rather than depleting your energy, these intentional relationships become sources of mutual nourishment and expansion. They create ripple effects that extend far beyond the immediate connection, contributing to the transformation of collective consciousness.
Living On Purpose
"Living on purpose means aligning with intention."
Living aligned with intention isn't about perfection or achievement as commonly understood. It's about bringing your thoughts, words, and actions into harmony with the field of intention that gave rise to your existence.
This alignment happens when:
- You have faith in your Creator and surrender to the larger purpose
- Your thoughts flow from a source of love, and you act on those loving thoughts
- You're detached from outcomes while remaining committed to purpose
- You're guided by inner wisdom rather than external validation or approval
When these conditions are present, you naturally experience what might be called "being on purpose." Life flows with greater ease and synchronicity. Challenges still arise, but they're met with resilience and clarity rather than resistance and confusion.
This purposeful living isn't reserved for spiritual masters or exceptional individuals. It's available to anyone willing to do the inner work of reconnecting to their creative source.
Healing Through Intention
"Reconnect to the disease-free loving perfection from which you came."
One of the most powerful applications of reconnecting to intention is in the realm of healing. Whether dealing with physical illness, emotional wounds, or spiritual disconnection, the path to true healing involves returning to the Source.
This doesn't mean rejecting conventional approaches to health but complementing them with a deeper understanding of healing's spiritual dimension. True healing takes you back to your original state of wholeness—not just addressing symptoms but restoring your connection to the field of intention from which perfect health naturally emerges.
When you reconnect to intention, you activate the healing energies that are your birthright. You shift from a mindset of fighting against disease to one of aligning with the perfection that is your essence. This shift alone can create profound changes in your physical and emotional wellbeing.
Practical Steps to Reconnection
How do we move from theoretical understanding to lived experience of connection with intention? Here are some practical approaches:
1. Visualize the Connection: Imagine a trolley strap connected to the field of intention, representing your surrender to a higher wisdom. When faced with challenges, mentally reach for this strap as a reminder of your connection to something greater than your individual struggles.
2. Use Intentional Language: Repeatedly use the word "intent" or "intention" in your self-talk to promote calmness and clarity. This simple practice helps redirect your mind from ego concerns to alignment with intention.
3. Act "As If": Behave as though your desires are already fulfilled, feeling the emotions and embodying the energy of their realization. This isn't mere pretending but a recognition that what you seek already exists in potential form within the field of intention.
4. Meditate Regularly: Establish a consistent meditation practice to quiet the ego's incessant demands and create space for intention to emerge. Even brief periods of stillness can significantly strengthen your connection to source.
5. Monitor Your Energy: Pay attention to the quality of your energy throughout the day. When you notice yourself slipping into lower-frequency states, use mindfulness to shift back into alignment with intention's higher vibrations.
6. Practice Gratitude: Regularly express thankfulness for what you already have, recognizing that gratitude is one of the highest vibrational states and naturally aligns you with the abundant nature of intention.
7. Release Attachment: While remaining clear about your intentions, release rigid attachment to how and when they manifest. Trust the wisdom of intention to bring about the highest good in ways that may exceed your limited perspective.
These practices aren't about achieving perfect connection but about gradually strengthening your awareness of and alignment with the field of intention that is your source.
An Invitation to Reconnect
I invite you to begin your journey of reconnection with these simple steps:
- Take time each day to quiet your mind and visualize yourself connected to the universal field of intention.
- Identify one area of your life where you feel disconnected or struggling, and contemplate how you might approach it differently from a place of alignment with intention.
- Notice the qualities of the seven faces of intention—creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, abundance, and receptivity—that are already present in your life, and consider how you might amplify them.
- Pay attention to synchronicities and moments of flow that indicate alignment with intention, using them as feedback to guide your continuing journey.
- Release one obstacle that has been blocking your connection to intention, whether a limiting belief, a draining relationship, or a fear-based pattern of behavior.
Remember that reconnection isn't a destination but an ongoing process of remembering who you truly are. Each moment offers a fresh opportunity to align with the field of intention that is your source and substance.
As you strengthen this connection, you'll likely find that life begins to unfold with greater ease and grace. Not because external circumstances magically perfect themselves, but because you're moving through the world from a place of alignment rather than resistance, cooperation rather than struggle, trust rather than fear.
This is the promise of reconnecting to the field of intention—not a life without challenges, but a life lived from the wisdom, creativity, and love that are your inheritance as an expression of the universal creating principle.
