Pure Intent
Firmly resolved on a purpose, inclination, will; what
is willed, one’s desire.
Oxford Dictionary
The driving force in the search for freedom from the Human Condition is intent.
Only relatively few humans have sufficient interest or desire for freedom, while most remain content with the ‘normal’ pursuits of life.
Up until now there have been only two choices – either remaining normal or pursuing the traditional spiritual path to an ‘other-worldly’
freedom of Enlightenment. Hundreds of millions of seekers have spent thousands of years pursuing the spiritual path with profoundly selfish
intent yet the success in terms of those becoming Enlightened seems to number only in the thousands – an appallingly bad success rate. The
intent of the spiritual seeker is always a tainted intent in that his or her goal is the Truth, the Good and Immortality for one’s soul,
with its inherent promise of power, authority and glory.
The pure intent of Actual Freedom comes from the peak experience or PCE
wherein one has a glimpse of the purity and perfection of the physical universe untainted by any ‘self’-ish and ‘self’-produced
meta-physical imaginations. Pure intent is the unequivocal intention to devote one’s life to being the best one can be – to completely
eradicate malice and sorrow from one’s life.
The wide and wondrous path to freedom with its explicit pure intent to question all
beliefs and instinctual passions, will thus avoid the traps and pitfalls of the past futile attempts to actualize peace and contentment
via denial and sublimation. The intent of the spiritual seeker to seek a spiritual and spurious freedom is implicit within the Human
Condition and is best seen in the teachings encouraging a shift of identity from self to Self, from human to Divine.
The pure intent of an actualist is made explicit by the direct experience of the PCE – a glimpse
of freedom from the Human Condition – and, as thus, one requires stubbornness, bloody-mindedness, patience, perseverance, nerves of steel
and great daring to swim against the stream – to venture into the unknowable.
