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.
