In the success and empowerment literature, there is much talk about finding your life purpose or mission and varying methods for articulating what this is for you. However, in my view, the methods they give skip over a crucial step - Articulating and committing to the Core Intention. Articulating the Core Intention is relatively easy because it is actually, in essences, the same for everyone. The Core Intention is an expression of the Absolute Truth of who you are and is thus unchanging, universal and has nothing to do with any of the relative conditions of your existence. It is an active expression of the Visionary Heart and is also another way of talking about the goal of alchemy composed of two elements: the intent to achieve the highest potential of a human being and the intention to be of maximum benefit to all life. These two elements which are reflections from the Principle of Two Truths and are inseparable. One can only be of maximum benefit to all life by actualizing ones fullest potential and one cannot actualize ones fullest potential without the intention to be of maximum benefit. A life built around this understanding will be fulfilling, meaningful and powerful. It doesn’t matter if you do this intentionally because you are aware of the principle or intuitively/spontaneously, the result is the same. Failure to build your life around this understanding, either intentionally or spontaneously, is the root of all dissatisfaction. The more completely you apply this principle by absolutely committing to living out of this core intention, the more complete and lasting your satisfaction will and the more powerful you will be.
The specific words one initially chooses to use to articulate this to oneself are not critical. Whatever words that best express this intention, according to your current insight and understanding, will serve as the perfect starting place. Over time the words one uses to articulate this may change as one acquires new learning, understanding and insight. While the words may change the essential meaning will remain the same.
However one chooses to represent this core intention to oneself, one must choose to fully commit oneself to it. Fulfilling this intention is the only intention one must set in order to have a meaningful and fulfilling life. It is possible to live ones life with this as the only intention. One can set support objectives if one chooses and this can be very helpful in building your life around your core intention, however if one has absolute commitment to the Core Intention and can remain mindful of this continuously throughout the day then one would spontaneously act in ways that support the intention. The Principle of the Core Intention was expressed by Jesus as “Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven and All else shall be Added unto you.” Accomplishing the Core Intention is another way of talking about the goal of alchemy. Committing to the Core Intention is committing to achieving the goal of alchemy
The benefits of genuine commitment to the Core Intention are immeasurable. It is essentially the engaged aspect of the Visionary Heart and is thus the means by which the Philosopher’s Stone of the Visionary Heart will transform you, your life and the word. It is through the Core Intention that you will use the substance of your life in all its aspects as the fuel for the supreme transformation. While the full benefits are immeasurable specific benefits of this alignment can be named. These will be elaborated upon in the contexts they apply to in future post but just to give you a taste:
- By creating congruence with the ‘Enlightened Intent’ of the True Nature of Reality, it puts the inertia of Universe (evolution) behind you
- It gives Wisdom Guidance more power to shape the circumstance of your life in way that benefit you.
- It is the key to generating Alchemical Wealth all day long
- It discourages expending ‘Karmic Currency’ on things that won’t actually bring satisfaction.
- It attracts, enlists and enables other beings aligned with the Core Intention to help you.
The Principle of the Visionary Heart Path is the relative truth compliment to the Core Intentions expression of Absolute Truth and is the meeting of the Core Intention with the ever changing conditions of relative existence. I will elaborate on the Visionary Heart Path in a future post. Next I will give instruction on creating a Core Intention Commitment State that will help engaging the power of Principle of the Core Intention
