| The Bridge ~ Step 1 ~ How to Think
The time is coming when you will have a thought and it will be there
The first reference point we adopted when we started The Intenders over a dozen years ago was that our thoughts (and our words) create our world. We knew that the key to our greatest happiness, as well as our gliding as gracefully as possible through these times of great change, lies in our thinking processes. Once we fully understood that our thoughts are the building blocks of our future, we realized that the solutions to any challenges we were faced with are not going to come through political or worldly means, but through our becoming more vigilant of our thoughts. We simply needed to learn to hold our attention on the thoughts that serve us and discard the ones that don't.
You see, from the time we were small children we were taught what to think, but, in all our years of schooling, we were never taught how to think. That's why we created the Intention Process. And that's what we're going talk about as we cross The Bridge together - how to think - because another thing we've begun to notice recently is that the time between the time we make an intention and its manifestation is getting shorter and shorter. Therefore, it behooves us to keep a much closer eye on what were thinking (and what were saying) than ever before.
I recall an occasion last year when a friend of mine and I were pulling into a large parking lot early one Saturday evening to rent a video. Every space, for as far as we could see, was filled. Normally, we would have made an intention on the way to the video store by saying something like, "I intend we have a great place to park when we get there." Then, we'd invoke the Highest Good, and say "So be it and so it is."
But we forgot to do that, and as we looked around and I almost started to voice a complaint, she suddenly remembered, then quickly stated an intention, said "So be it" - and just as she did, a brown conversion van backed out of the space directly in front of the main door to the store. I got so excited that I yelled out, "And there it is!"
She pulled into the spot and both of us sat there laughing. Our "So be it and so it is" had turned into "So be it and there it is." We'd had a conscious instantaneous manifestation, and it was as if we'd received a confirmation that we were evolving to our next step. I can't tell you how good it felt.
My Intention for today is: I intend that I remember that what I am thinking and talking about all day long is what I am manifesting for myself.

| The Bridge ~ Step 2 ~ Positive Language
You manifest what you say you want, and you manifest what you say you don't want.
When we express ourselves in a negative fashion, we draw the exact opposite of what we desire into our lives. An example of this is evident when we say that we don't want an accident or a sickness to occur. What most of us don't understand is that by talking about anything - whether we want it or we don't - we invoke it; we attract it into our experience.
You see people do this all the time. They'll be talking about something they wouldn't want to happen, and, sure enough, it happens. What they weren't aware of is that, in their thinking processes, they pictured it happening. Since their thoughts are always creating their future, they, in fact, brought it to life when they said they didn't want it to happen.
The antidote to having calamities and accidents befall you is to speak only in the positive, to be even more vigilant of what you're saying, and to stop yourself before you give voice to the negative. Then, you can replace the "I don't wants" and all the talk of calamities by saying what you do want. If, for instance, you catch yourself saying, "I don't want war," which, as you have learned, will only conjure up more aggression and violence; instead, you can say, "I intend that I am living in peace." As you phrase your words like this, you invoke only the positive. There's no possibility for war because you haven't mentioned anything about it.
From The Code ~ Intentions in Action
Some thoughts play tricks on us, having us believe that we are keeping our undesired experiences at bay by voicing our resistance to them. Now, however, as we're beginning to explore, more closely, how our thinking and speaking works, we can see that we are undermining or sabotaging ourselves by all our negative talk; that we are the cause of our calamities by the fact that we talk about them.
My Intention for today is: I intend that I am speaking only in the positive.

| The Bridge ~ Step 3 ~ A Done Deal
See the end result from the beginning
When we are able to firmly hold a picture in our mind of that which we intend to create, and we reject any ideas that would interfere with that image coming to us, we are well on our way to becoming a mighty manifester. We make the very best use of the wondrous tool that we call our imagination. For it is here, within the vast, infinite scope of our mind's eye that we can picture anything. We can envision things that will help us and further us along life's path, or we can envision dramas galore. Both are equally at our beck and call. If, however, we are to put our imagination to its highest and best use, we will need to hold fast to envisioning positive outcomes and trust that they are manifesting for us.
Those of us in the Intenders who have been testing this method for the last several years can assure you that seeing the end result from the beginning - and remembering that our thoughts are the forerunners of our experiences - works. This is how we utilize our imagination to become more proficient at the fine art of manifesting. And the nice thing is that we don't have to go anywhere. From we make an intention, all we have to do is be open to receive.
My closest friend and long time Intender from Albuquerque, Dave Powell, said it best. He treats all his intentions as if they are "a done deal." As he tells it, he makes his intentions and then lets them go, acting, from then on, as if they have already manifested. This system is obviously working because when I met Dave he had all sorts of financial challenges, but now he is as secure as anyone I know. And this is not because of an abundance of money (which he has created anyway), but because of his knowing that whatever he sees as "a done deal" really comes to life.
My Intention for today is: I intend that I am putting putting my imagination to it's best use by holding a vision of my ideal outcome.

| The Bridge ~ Step 4 ~ The Highest Good
What you are calling your Intentions for the Highest Goodare the threads of the cloth being woven into the robe of peace.
In the Intenders, we don't have any rules, but we do have one thing that we never compromise on. It's what binds us together and we call it our Highest Good clause or "the world's greatest insurance policy." It works like this: when we make an intention - any intention - we always say that in order for it to manifest that it must serve the highest and best good of the Universe and the highest and best good for ourselves and everyone concerned. It's as simple as that! Oh, and by the way, even if we forget to say it, it's understood that the Highest Good clause is always in effect when we make our intentions.
When we first started to use the Intention Process, we thought that the only thing we were doing was learning how to manifest things so we'd be happier. It wasn't until we'd been at it for well over a year that we realized something else was happening. Not only were our dreams coming true, but we were also letting go of old stuff that we'd been hanging onto forever. It was that old stuff that was holding us back from living in our highest light. On one hand, our desires were being fulfilled; and, on the other hand, we were giving up our old desires that hadn't manifested. Pretty soon, we noticed that we didn't have as many desires as before. They had all either been manifested or let go of. That's when things started getting really good! We began to feel lighter and freer. The Intention Process was lining us up with our highest good, and what was being brought to us was a more wonderful, much grander gift than we had received from the small, mundane intentions that we had manifested since we first started. It was as if we were sprouting wings.
Sally Moore From The Intenders Handbook
My Intention for today is: I intend that I am aligned with the Highest Good in everything I say and do.

| The Bridge ~ Step 5 ~ Doubts
How much greater we are than we think we are
There are three main things that can interfere with the manifestation of our intentions. The first is the "yet" factor, which calls on us to remember that just because something hasn't manifested yet doesn't mean that it's not going to manifest. The second is the Highest Good factor which asks us to understand that the Universe knows better for us than we know for ourselves. Sometimes it's just not in our Highest Good - or the Highest Good of others involved - for our intention to manifest. And the third thing that can sabotage us is doubt.
There is a old story about the Knower and the Novice that best explains how to deal with our doubts. When the Novice makes an intention and then, soon after, is faced with doubt or resistance, he tends to buy into the doubts. These doubts can be thoughts coming from inside him that tell him that he can't have, or doesn't deserve, or can't afford whatever it is that he's intended to manifest. Similarly, these doubts can also come from his outside environment in the form of well meaning friends or business advisors who say that he couldn't possibly manifest his desires. As the Novice buys into the doubts, regardless of their source, he sabotages his experience, loses trust in the Laws of Manifestation, and stops his forward movement.
The Knower is a different story. When the Knower is confronted with doubts or resistances, instead of believing in them, he ignores them and continues moving forward. He understands that the Intention Process always works - that we are all grand Creators, capable of great things - and all we have to do is trust that when we hold onto a thought that it will manifest for us. We may not know when or where. We just know that it will.
My Intention for today is: I intend that I am ignoring any doubts and that I am continuing to move forward toward the manifestation of my intentions. | | |
