The sound world. You seldom perceive sound waves with your eyes,
but they can actually be felt. These invisible waves are also high/low and
fast/slow. This sound level of energy is where you connect to the highest
frequencies of Spirit through the practice of Japa meditation, or the
repetition of the sound of God, as I’ve written about extensively in Getting
in the Gap. 3. The light world. Light moves faster than the material world and faster
than sound, yet there are no actual particles to form a substance called light. What you see as red is what your eye perceives a certain pulsating
frequency to be, and what you perceive as violet is an even faster and
higher frequency. When light is brought to darkness, darkness becomes
light. The implications for this are startling. Low energy when faced with
high energy experiences an automatic conversion. 4. The thought world. Your thoughts are an extremely high frequency of
pulsation that moves beyond the speed of sound and even light. The
frequency of thoughts can be measured, and the impact that they have on
your body and your environment can be calculated. Once again, the same
rules apply. Higher frequencies nullify lower; faster energies convert
slower. A colleague I admire enormously, David Hawkins, M.D., has
written a work, which I’ve referenced often, called Power vs. Force. In this
remarkable book, Dr. Hawkins elaborates on the lower frequencies of
thought and their accompanying emotions, and how they can be impacted
and converted by exposure to higher and faster frequencies. I urge you to
read his book, and I’ll present some of those findings in the section on
raising your energy levels. Every thought you have can be calculated to
determine if it’s strengthening or weakening your ability to reconnect to the
highest and fastest energy in the universe. 5. The Spirit world. Here is the ultimate in energy. These frequencies are
so supersonically rapid that the presence of disorder, disharmony, and even
disease is impossible. These measurable energies consist of the seven faces
of intention, written about throughout the pages of this book. They are the
energies of creation. When you reproduce them in yourself, you reproduce
the same creative quality of life that called you into existence. They are the
qualities of creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, peacefulabundance, and receptivity. These are the highest energies of the universal
Spirit itself. You came into existence from this energy, and you can match
up with it energetically as you remove the low-energy pulsations from your
thoughts and feelings. Consider these words of the Nobel Prize–winning physicist Max Planck
as he accepted his award for his study of the atom: “As a man who has
devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of
matter, I can tell you as the result of my research about atoms this much:
There is no matter as such! All matter originates and exists only by virtue of
a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this
most minute solar system of the atom together. . . . We must assume behind
this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the
matrix of all matter.” It is to this mind that I urge you to match up. Raising Your Energy Level
Every thought you have has an energy that will either strengthen or
weaken you. It’s obviously a good idea to eliminate the thoughts that
weaken you, since these thoughts are obstacles to creating a winning match
with the universal, supreme Source of intention. Take a moment to ponder
the meaning behind Anthony de Mello’s observation in One Minute
Wisdom:
Why is everyone here so happy except me? “Because they have learned to see goodness 
and beauty everywhere,” said the Master. Why don’t I see goodness and beauty everywhere? “Because you cannot see outside of you what you 
fail to see inside.”
What you may fail to see inside is a result of how you choose to process
everything and everyone in your world. You project onto the world what
you see inside, and you fail to project into the world what you fail to see
inside. If you knew that you were an expression of the universal Spirit ofintention, that’s what you’d see. You’d raise your energy level beyond any
possibility of encumbrances to your connection to the power of intention. It
is only discord acting within your own feelings that will ever deprive you of
everygood thing that life holds for you! If you understand this simple
observation, you’ll curb interferences to intention. There’s a vibratory action to your thoughts, your feelings, and your body. I’m asking you to increase those frequencies so they’re high enough to
allow you to connect to the power of intention. This may sound like an
oversimplification, but I hope you’ll try raising your energy level as a way
to remove the obstacles that prevent you from experiencing the perfection
you’re a part of. You cannot remedy anything by condemning it. You only
add to the destructive energy that’s already permeating the atmosphere of
your life. When you react to the lower energies you encounter with your
own low energies, you’re actually setting up a situation that attracts more of
that lower energy. For example, if someone behaves in a hateful manner
toward you and you respond by hating them for hating you, you’re
participating in a lower energy field, and impacting all who enter that field. If you’re angry at those around you for being angry people, you’re
attempting to remedy the situation through condemnation. Don’t use weakening energies employed by those around you. Other
people can’t bring you down if you’re operating at the higher energies. Why? Because higher and faster energies nullify and convert lower/slower
energies, not the reverse. If you feel that the lower energies of those around
you are bringing you down, it’s because you’re joining them at their energy
levels. Your unbending intention may be to be slim and healthy. You know that
the universal all-creative Spirit brought you into existence in that
microscopic dot of human cellular tissue not to be sickly, overweight, or
unattractive . . . but to create love, be kind, and express beauty. This is what
the power of intention intended for you to become. Now get this: You
cannot attract attractiveness into your life by hating anything about what
you’ve allowed yourself to become. Why? Because hatred creates a counter-
force of hatred that disempowers your efforts. Here is how Dr. Hawkins
describes it in Power vs. Force:Simple kindness to one’s self and all that lives is the most
powerful transformational force of all. It produces no backlash,
has no downside, and never leads to loss or despair. It increases
one’s own true power without exacting any toll. But to reach
maximum power such kindness can permit no exceptions, nor
can it be practiced with the expectation of some selfish reward. And its effect is as far reaching as it is subtle.” [Note that
kindness is one of the seven faces of intention.] He adds further:
That which is injurious loses its capacity to harm when it is
brought into the light, and we attract to us that which we
emanate. The lesson is clear in terms of removing lower energy obstacles. We must
raise ourselves to the levels of energy where we are the light we seek,
where we are the happiness we desire, where we are the love we feel is
missing, where we are the unlimited abundance we crave. By being it, we
attract it to us. By condemning its absence, we ensure that condemnation
and discord will continue to flow into our lives. If you’re experiencing scarcity, anguish, depression, an absence of love,
or any inability to attract what you desire, seriously look at how you’ve
been attracting these circumstances into your life. Low energy is an
attractor pattern. It shows up because you’ve sent for it, even if on a
subconscious level. It’s still yours and you own it. However, if you practice
deliberately raising your energy level by being cognizant of your immediate
environment, you’ll move rather rapidly toward intention and remove all of
those self-imposed roadblocks. The obstacles are in the low-energy
spectrum. A Mini-Program for Raising Your Energy Vibrations
Here’s a short list of suggestions for moving your energy field to a higher
faster vibration. This will help you accomplish the twofold objective of
removing the barriers and allowing the power of intention to work with and
through you. Become conscious of your thoughts. Every thought you have impacts
you. By shifting in the middle of a weakening thought to one that
strengthens, you raise your energy vibration and strengthen yourself and the
immediate energy field. For example, in the midst of saying something to
one of my teenage children that was intended to make her feel ashamed of
her conduct, I stopped and reminded myself that there’s no remedy in
condemnation. I proceeded to extend love and understanding by asking her
how she felt about her self-defeating behavior and what she’d like to do to
correct it. The shift raised the energy level and led to a productive
conversation. Raising the energy level to a place where my daughter and I connected to
the power of intention took place in a split second of my becoming aware of
my low-energy thinking and making a decision to raise it. We all have the
ability to call this presence and power of intention into action when we
become conscious of our thoughts. Make meditation a regular practice in your life. Even if it’s only for a
few moments each day while sitting at a stoplight, this practice is vital. Take some time to be silent, and repeat the sound of God as an inner
mantra. Meditation allows you to make conscious contact with your Source
and regain the power of intention by assisting you in cultivating a
receptivity that matches up with the force of creation. Become conscious of the foods you eat. There are foods that calibrate
low, and there are high-energy foods as well. Foods with toxic chemicals
sprayed on them will make you weak even if you have no idea that the
toxins are present. Artificial foods such as sweeteners are low-energy
products. In general, foods high in alkalinity such as fruits, vegetables, nuts,
soy, non-yeast breads, and virgin olive oil calibrate at the high end and will
strengthen you on muscle testing, while highly acidic foods such as flour-
based cereals, meats, dairy, and sugars calibrate at the lower energies, whichwill weaken you. This is not an absolute for everyone; however, you can
detect how you feel after consuming certain foods, and if you feel weak,
lethargic, and fatigued, you can be pretty sure you’ve allowed yourself to
become a low-energy system, which will attract more of the same low
energy into your life. Retreat from low-energy substances. I discussed in Chapter 1 how I
learned that total sobriety was absolutely essential for me to achieve the
level of consciousness I craved and was destined to achieve. Alcohol, and
virtually all artificial drugs, legal and otherwise, lower your body’s energy
level and weaken you. Furthermore, they put you in a position to continue
to attract more disempowering energy into your life. Simply by consuming
low-energy substances, you’ll find people with similar low energy showing
up regularly in your life. They’ll want to buy those substances for you,
party with you as you get high, and urge you to do it again after your body
recovers from the devastation of these low-energy substances. Become conscious of the energy level of the music you listen to. Harsh,
pounding, musical vibrations with repetitive, loud sounds lower your
energy level and weaken you and your ability to make conscious contact
with intention. Similarly, the lyrics of hate, pain, anguish, fear, and violence
are low energies sending weakening messages to your subconscious and
infiltrating your life with similar attractor energies. If you want to attract
violence, then listen to the lyrics of violence and make violent music a part
of your life. If you want to attract peace and love, then listen to the higher
musical vibrations and lyrics that reflect your desires. Become aware of the energy levels of your home environment. Prayers, paintings, crystals, statues, spiritual passages, books, magazines,
the colors on your walls, and even the arrangement of your furniture all
create energy into which you’re catapulted for at least half of your waking
life. While this may seem silly or absurd, I urge you to transcend yourconditioned thinking and have a mind that’s open to everything. The ancient
Chinese art of feng shui has been with us for thousands of years and is a gift
from our ancestors. It describes ways to increase the energy field of our
home and workplace. Become aware of how being in high-energy
surroundings impacts us in ways that strengthen our lives and remove
barriers to our connection to intention. Reduce your exposure to the very low energy of commercial and
cable television. Children in America see 12,000 simulated murders in their
living room before their 14th birthday! Television news programming puts a
heavy emphasis on bringing the bad and the ugly into your home, and in
large part, leaving out the good. It’s a constant stream of negativity that
invades your living space and attracts more of the same into your life. Violence is the main ingredient of television entertainment, interspersed
with commercial breaks sponsored by the huge drug cartels telling us that
happiness is found in their pills! The viewing public is told that it needs all
sorts of low-energy medicines to overcome every mental and physical
malady known to humankind. My conclusion is that the majority of television shows provide a steady
stream of low energy most of the time. This is one of the reasons I’ve
elected to devote a significant portion of my time and efforts in support of
noncommercial public television and help replace messages of negativity,
hopelessness, violence, profanity, and disrespect with the higher principles
that match up with the principle of intention. Enhance your energy field with photographs. You may find it difficult
to believe that photography is a form of energy reproduction and that every
photograph contains energy. See for yourself by strategically placing
photographs taken in moments of happiness, love, and receptivity to
spiritual help around your living quarters, in your workplace, in your
automobile, and even on your clothing or in a pocket or wallet. Arrange
photographs of nature, animals, and expressions of joy and love in yourenvironment, and let their energy radiate into your heart and provide you
with their higher frequency. Become conscious of the energy levels of your acquaintances, friends,
and extended family. You can raise your own energy levels by being in the
energy field of others who resonate closely to spiritual consciousness. Choose to be in close proximity to people who are empowering, who appeal
to your sense of connection to intention, who see the greatness in you, who
feel connected to God, and who live a life that gives evidence that Spirit has
found celebration through them. Recall that higher energy nullifies and
converts lower energy, so be conscious of being in the presence of, and
interacting with, higher-energy people who are connected to Spirit and
living the life they were intended to. Stay in the energy field of higher-
energy people and your anger, hate, fear, and depression will melt—
magically converting to the higher expressions of intention. Monitor your activities and where they take place. Avoid low-energy
fields where there’s excessive alcohol, drug consumption, or violent
behavior, and gatherings where religious or ethnic exclusion and vitriolic
prejudice or judgment are the focus. All of these kinds of venues discourage
you from raising your energy and encourage you to match up with lower,
debilitating energy. Immerse yourself in nature, appreciating its beauty,
spending time camping, hiking, swimming, taking nature walks, and
reveling in the natural world. Attend lectures on spirituality, take a yoga
class, give or receive a massage, visit monasteries or meditation centers,
and commit to helping others in need with visits to the elderly in geriatric
centers or sick children in hospitals. Every activity has an energy field. Choose to be in places where the energy fields reflect the seven faces of
intention. Extend acts of kindness, asking for nothing in return.Anonymously
extend financial aid to those less fortunate, and do it from the kindness ofyour heart, expecting not even a thank you. Activate your magnificent
obsession by learning to be kind while keeping your ego—which expects to
be told how wonderful you are—out of the picture completely. This is an
essential activity for connecting to intention because the universal all-
creating Spirit returns acts of kindness with the response: How may I be
kind to you? Pick up some litter and place it in a proper receptacle and tell no one
about your actions. In fact, spend several hours doing nothing but cleaning
and clearing out messes that you didn’t create. Any act of kindness
extended toward yourself, others, or your environment matches you up with
the kindness inherent in the universal power of intention. It’s an energizer
for you, and causes this kind of energy to flow back into your life. This poignant story “The Valentine,” by Ruth McDonald, illustrates the
kind of giving I’m suggesting here. The little boy symbolizes the
magnificent obsession I just referred to. He was a shy little boy, not very popular with the other
children in Grade One. As Valentine’s Day approached, his
mother was delighted when he asked her one evening to sit
down and write the names of all the children in his class so that
he could make a Valentine for each. Slowly he remembered each
name aloud, and his mother recorded them on a piece of paper. He worried endlessly for fear he would forget someone. Armed with a book of Valentines to cut out, with scissors and
crayons and paste, he plodded his conscientious way down the
list. When each one was finished, his mother printed the name
on a piece of paper and watched him laboriously copy it. As the
pile of finished Valentines grew, so did his satisfaction. About this time, his mother began to worry whether the other
children would make Valentines for him. He hurried home so
fast each afternoon to get on with his task, that it seemed likely
the other children playing along the street would forget his
existence altogether. How absolutely horrible if he went off to
the party armed with 37 tokens oflove—and no one hadremembered him! She wondered if there were some way she
could sneak a few Valentines among those he was making so
that he would be sure of receiving at least a few. But he watched
his hoard so jealously, and counted them over so lovingly, that
there was no chance to slip in an extra. She assumed a mother’s
most normal role, that of patient waiting. The day of the Valentine box finally arrived, and she watched
him trudge off down the snowy street, a box of heart-shaped
cookies in one hand, a shopping-bag clutched in the other with
37 neat tokens of his labor. She watched him with a burning
heart. “Please, God,” she prayed, “let him get at least a few!”
All afternoon her hands were busy here and there, but her
heart was at the school. At half-past three she took her knitting
and sat with studied coincidence in a chair that gave a full view
of the street. Finally, he appeared, alone. Her heart sank. Up the street he
came, turning every once in a while to back up a few steps into
the wind. She strained her eyes to see his face. At that distance
it was just a rosy blur. It was not until he turned in at the walk that she saw it—the
one lone Valentine clutched in his little red mitt. Only one. After
all his work. And from the teacher probably. The knitting
blurred before her eyes. If only you could stand between your
child and life! She laid down her work and walked to meet him
at the door. “What rosy cheeks!” she said. “Here, let me untie your scarf. Were the cookies good?”
He turned toward her a face shining with happiness and
complete fulfillment. “Do you know what?” he said. “I didn’t
forget a one. Not a single one!”
Be specific when you affirm your intentions to raise your energy level
and create your desires. Place your affirmations in strategic places where
you’ll notice and read them throughout the day. For example: I intend toattract the job I desire into my life. I intend to be able to afford the specific
automobile I envision myself driving by the 30th of next month. I intend to
donate two hours of my time this week to the underprivileged. I intend to
heal myself of this persistent fatigue. Written affirmations have an energy of their own and will guide you in
raising your energy level. I practice this myself. A woman named Lynn Hall
who lives in Toronto sent me a beautiful plaque that I look at each day. In
her letter she stated: “Here is a gift for you, written solely for you in an
effort to convey heartfelt gratitude for the blessing of your presence in my
life. That said, I am sure that the sentiment is a universal one speaking for
every other soul on the planet who has experienced the same good fortune. May the light and love that you emit forever reflect back to you in joyful
abundance, Dr. Dyer.” The beautiful etched-in-soul plaque reads like this:
Spirit
Has found
Great voice
In you. In vibrant truths,
And joyful splendor. Spirit
Has found
Revelation
Through you,
In resonant
And reflective ways. SpiritHas found
Celebration
Through you,
In infinite expanses
And endless reach. To
All those
Awakened
To the
Grace of
Your gifts—
 
Spirit
Has found
Both
Wings
And
Light. I read these words daily to remind me of my connection to Spirit, and
allow the words to flow from my heart to yours, fulfilling my intentions and
hopefully helping you do the same. As frequently as possible, hold thoughts of forgiveness in your mind. In muscle testing, when you hold a thought of revenge, you’ll go weak,
while a thought of forgiveness keeps you strong. Revenge, anger, and hatredare exceedingly low energies that keep you from matching up with the
attributes of the universal force. A simple thought of forgiveness toward
anyone who may have angered you in the past—without any action taken
on your part—will raise you to the level of Spirit and aid you in your
individual intentions. You can either serve Spirit with your mind or use that same mind to
divorce yourself from Spirit. Married to the seven faces of spiritual
intention, you connect to that power. Divorced, your self-importance, your
ego, takes over. Here’s the final obstacle to making your connection to intention. Your Self-Importance
In The Fire from Within, Carlos Castaneda hears these words from his
sorcerer teacher: “Self-importance is man’s greatest enemy. What weakens
him is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of his fellow man. Self-
importance requires that one spend most of one’s life offended by
something or someone.” This is a major impediment to connecting to
intention; you can all too easily create a no match here. Basically, your feelings of self-importance are what make you feel
special, so let’s deal with this concept of being special. It’s essential that
you have a strong self-concept and that you feel unique. The problem is
when you misidentify who you truly are by identifying yourself as your
body, your achievements, and your possessions. Then you identify people
who have accomplished less as inferior, and your self-important superiority
causes you to be constantly offended in one way or another. This
misidentification is the source of most of your problems, as well as most of
the problems of humankind. Feeling special leads us to our self-importance. Castaneda writes later in his life, many years after his initial emergence into
the world of sorcery, about the futility of self-importance. “The more I
thought about it, and the more I talked to and observed myself and my
fellow men, the more intense the conviction that something was rendering
us incapable of any activity or any interaction or any thought that didn’t
have the self as its focal point.”With the self as a focal point, you sustain the illusion that you are your
body, which is a completely separate entity from all others. This sense of
separateness leads you to compete rather than cooperate with everyone else. Ultimately, it’s a no match with Spirit, and becomes a huge obstacle to your
connection to the power of intention. In order to relinquish your self-
importance, you’ll have to become aware of how entrenched it is in your
life. Ego is simply an idea of who you are that you carry around with you. As such, it can’t be surgically removed by having an egoectomy! This idea
of who you think you are will persistently erode any possibility you have of
connecting to intention. Seven Steps for Overcoming Ego’s Hold on You
Here are seven suggestions to help you transcend ingrained ideas of self-
importance. All of these are designed to help prevent you from falsely
identifying with the self-important ego. 1. Stop being offended. The behavior of others isn’t a reason to be
immobilized. That which offends you only weakens you. If you’re looking
for occasions to be offended, you’ll find them at every turn. This is your
ego at work convincing you that the world shouldn’t be the way it is. But
you can become an appreciator of life and match up with the universal
Spirit of Creation. You can’t reach the power of intention by being
offended. By all means, act to eradicate the horrors of the world, which
emanate from massive ego identification, but stay in peace. As A Course in
Miracles reminds us: Peace is of God, you who are part of God are not at
home except in his peace. Being offended creates the same destructive
energy that offended you in the first place and leads to attack, counterattack,
and war. 2. Let go of your need to win. Ego loves to divide us up into winners
and losers. The pursuit of winning is a surefire means to avoid conscious
contact with intention. Why? Because ultimately, winning is impossible allof the time. Someone out there will be faster, luckier, younger, stronger, and
smarter—and back you’ll go to feeling worthless and insignificant. You’re not your winnings or your victories. You may enjoy competing,
and have fun in a world where winning is everything, but you don’t have to
be there in your thoughts. There are no losers in a world where we all share
the same energy source. All you can say on a given day is that you
performed at a certain level in comparison to the levels of others on that
day. But today is another day, with other competitors and new
circumstances to consider. You’re still the infinite presence in a body that’s
another day (or decade) older. Let go of needing to win by not agreeing that
the opposite of winning is losing. That’s ego’s fear. If your body isn’t
performing in a winning fashion on this day, it simply doesn’t matter when
you aren’t identifying exclusively with your ego. Be the observer, noticing
and enjoying it all without needing to win a trophy. Be at peace, and match
up with the energy of intention. And ironically, although you’ll hardly
notice it, more of those victories will show up in your life as you pursue
them less. 3. Let go of your need to be right. Ego is the source of a lot of conflict
and dissension because it pushes you in the direction of making other
people wrong. When you’re hostile, you’ve disconnected from the power of
intention. The creative Spirit is kind, loving, and receptive; and free of
anger, resentment, or bitterness. Letting go of your need to be right in your
discussions and relationships is like saying to ego, I’m not a slave to you. I
want to embrace kindness, and I reject your need to be right. In fact, I’m
going to offer this person a chance to feel better by saying that she’s right,
and thank her for pointing me in the direction of truth. When you let go of the need to be right, you’re able to strengthen your
connection to the power of intention. But keep in mind that ego is a
determined combatant. I’ve seen people willing to die rather than let go of
being right. I’ve seen people end otherwise beautiful relationships by
sticking to their need to be right. I urge you to let go of this ego-driven need
to be right by stopping yourself in the middle of an argument and askingyourself, Do I want to be right or be happy? When you choose the happy,
loving, spiritual mode, your connection to intention is strengthened. These
moments ultimately expand your new connection to the power of intention. The universal Source will begin to collaborate with you in creating the life
you were intended to live. 4. Let go of your need to be superior. True nobility isn’t about being
better than someone else. It’s about being better than you used to be. Stay
focused on your growth, with a constant awareness that no one on this
planet is any better than anyone else. We all emanate from the same creative
life force. We all have a mission to realize our intended essence; all that we
need to fulfill our destiny is available to us. None of this is possible when
you see yourself as superior to others. It’s an old saw, but nonetheless true:
We are all equal in the eyes of God. Let go of your need to feel superior by
seeing the unfolding of God in everyone. Don’t assess others on the basis of
their appearance, achievements, possessions, and other indices of ego. When you project feelings of superiority, that’s what you get back, leading
to resentments and ultimately hostile feelings. These feelings become the
vehicle that takes you farther away from intention. A Course in Miracles
addresses this need to be special and superior: Specialness always makes
comparisons. It is established by a lack seen in another, and maintained by
searching for, and keeping clear in sight, all lacks it can perceive. 5. Let go of your need to have more. The mantra of the ego is more. It’s
never satisfied. No matter how much you achieve or acquire, your ego will
insist that it isn’t enough. You’ll find yourself in a perpetual state of
striving, and eliminate the possibility of ever arriving. Yet in reality, you’ve
already arrived, and how you choose to use this present moment of your life
is your choice. Ironically, when you stop needing more, more of what you
desire seems to arrive in your life. Since you’re detached from the need for
it, you find it easier to pass it along to others, because you realize how little
you need in order to be satisfied and at peace.The universal Source is content with itself, constantly expanding and
creating new life, never trying to hold on to its creations for its own selfish
means. It creates and lets go. As you let go of ego’s need to have more, you
unify with that Source. You create, attract to yourself, and let it go, never
demanding that more come your way. As an appreciator of all that shows
up, you learn the powerful lesson St. Francis of Assisi taught: “ . . . it is in
giving that we receive.” By allowing abundance to flow to and through you,
you match up with your Source and guarantee that this energy will continue
to flow. 6. Let go of identifying yourself on the basis of your achievements. This may be a difficult concept if you think you are your achievements. God writes all the music, God sings all the songs, God builds all the
buildings, God is the source of all your achievements. I can hear your ego
loudly protesting. Nevertheless, stay tuned to this idea. All emanates from
Source! You and that Source are one! You’re not this body and its
accomplishments. You are the observer. Notice it all; and be grateful for the
abilities you’ve been given, the motivation to achieve, and the stuff you’ve
accumulated. But give all the credit to the power of intention, which
brought you into existence and which you’re a materialized part of. The less
you need to take credit for your achievements and the more connected you
stay to the seven faces of intention, the more you’re free to achieve, and the
more will show up for you. It’s when you attach yourself to those
achievements and believe that you alone are doing all of those things that
you leave the peace and the gratitude of your Source. 7. Let go of your reputation. Your reputation is not located in you. It
resides in the minds of others. Therefore, you have no control over it at all. If you speak to 30 people, you will have 30 reputations. Connecting to
intention means listening to your heart and conducting yourself based on
what your inner voice tells you is your purpose here. If you’re overly
concerned with how you’re going to be perceived by everyone, then you’ve
disconnected yourself from intention and allowed the opinions of others toguide you. This is your ego at work. It’s an illusion that stands between you
and the power of intention. There’s nothing you can’t do, unless you
disconnect from the power source and become convinced that your purpose
is to prove to others how masterful and superior you are and spend your
energy attempting to win a giant reputation among other egos. Do what you
do because your inner voice—always connected to and grateful to your
Source—so directs you. Stay on purpose, detach from outcome, and take
responsibility for what does reside in you: your character. Leave your
reputation for others to debate; it has nothing to do with you. Or as a book
title says: What You Think of Me Is None of My Business! This concludes the three major obstacles to your connecting to intention:
your thoughts, your energy, and your self-importance. Here are five
suggestions for overcoming the obstacles and staying permanently
connected to the power of intention. Five Suggestions for Implementing the Ideas 
in This Chapter
1. Monitor your inner dialogue. Notice how much of
your inner speech focuses on what’s missing, the negative
circumstances, the past, and the opinions of others. The more
cognizant you become of your inner speech, the sooner you’ll
be able to shift right in the midst of those habitual inner
proceedings, from a thought of I resent what’s missing, to I
intend to attract what I want and stop thinking about what I
dislike. That new inner dialogue becomes the link connecting
you to intention. 2. Lighten moments of doubt and depression. Notice
the moments that aren’t a part of your higher nature. Reject
thoughts that support an inability on your part to match up with
intention. Remain faithful to the light is good advice. Recently,
a friend and teacher learned of a struggle I was personally
going through, and wrote to me: “Remember, Wayne, the sun
is shining behind the clouds.” Be faithful to the light that’s
always there.3. Be aware of low energy. Recall that everything,
which includes your thoughts, has an energy frequency that
can be calibrated to determine whether it will strengthen or
weaken you. When you find yourself either thinking in low-
energy ways, or immersed in low, weakening energy, resolve to
bring a higher vibration to the presence of that debilitating
situation. 4. Talk to your ego and let it know that it has no
control over you today. In my children’s bedroom here on
Maui, I’ve framed the following observation, which they see
each morning. While they joke and laugh about it, they get the
essential message and share it out loud when anyone
(including me) gets upset during the day. Good morning,
This is God. I will be handling
All of your
Problems today. I will not need
Your help, so have
A miraculous day. 5. View obstacles as opportunities to circulate the power of your
unbending intent. Unbending means just what it says. I intend
to stay connected to my Source and thereby gain the power of
my Source. This means being at peace, detaching yourself from
the circumstances, and seeing yourself as the observer rather
than the victim . . . then turning it all over to your Source and
knowing that you’ll receive the guidance and assistance you
require. You’ve just completed a thorough examination of the three major
obstacles to connecting to the power of intention, along with suggestions foreliminating them. In the next chapter, I’ll explain how you impact those
around you when you raise your energy level to the highest spiritual
frequencies and live your days connected to intention. When you’re
connected to the power of intention, everywhere you go, and everyone you
meet, is affected by you and the energy you radiate. As you become the
power of intention, you’ll see your dreams being fulfilled almost magically,
and you’ll see yourself creating huge ripples in the energy fields of others
by your presence and nothing more. OceanofPDF.comYOUR IMPACT 
ON OTHERS 
WHEN CONNECTED 
TO INTENTION
“It is one of the most beautiful compensations of this life that no man can
sincerely try to help another without helping himself. . . . Serve and thou
shall be served.”
 
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
As you find yourself being more in harmony with the faces of intention,
you’re going to discover that you’ll be impacting others in new ways. The
nature of this impact is profoundly important in your quest to utilize the
power of intention. You’ll begin seeing in others what you’re feeling within
yourself. This new way of seeing will enable people in your presence to feel
comforted and peaceful, and to indirectly be loving accomplices to your
connection to intention. As you’ll read on the next page, the poet Hafiz states that he wants
nothing, even if the person is a “drooling mess” and a potential victim. All
he perceives is their divine worth, which is what you’ll see in others as you
connect to the power of intention.The Jeweler
If a naïve and desperate man
Brings a precious stone
To the only jeweler in town,
Wanting to sell it,
The jeweler’s eyes
Will begin to play a game,
Like most eyes in the world when they look at you. The jeweler’s face will stay calm. He will not want to reveal the stone’s true value,
But to hold the man captive to fear and greed
While he calculates
The value of the transaction. But one moment with me, my dear,
Will show you that there is nothing, nothing Hafiz wants from you. When you sit before a Master like me,
Even if you are a drooling mess,
My eyes sing with Excitement
They see your Divine Worth. — Hafiz
You Receive What You Desire for OthersAs you review the attributes of universal intention and simultaneously
vow to be those attributes, you begin to see the significance of what you
desire for all others. If you desire peace for others, you’ll receive it. If you
want others to feel loved, you’ll be the recipient of love. If you see only
beauty and worthiness in others, you’ll have the same returned to you. You’ll only give away what you have in your heart, and attract what you’re
giving away. This is a matter of great concern to you. Your impact on others
—whether it be strangers, family members, co-workers, or neighbors—is
evidence of the strength of your connection to the power of intention. Think
of your relationships in terms of holy or unholy. Holy relationships facilitate the power of intention at a high energy level
for everyone involved. Unholy relationships keep the energy at the lower,
slower levels for all concerned. You’ll know your own potential for
greatness when you start seeing the perfection in all relationships. When
you recognize others’ holiness, you’ll treat them as divine expressions of
the power of intention, wanting nothing from them. The irony is that they
become co-creators manifesting all your desires. Want nothing from them,
demand nothing from them, have no expectations for them, and they’ll
return this kindness. Demand from them, insist that they please you, judge
them as inferior, and see them as servants, and you’ll receive the same. It
behooves you to be acutely aware of what you truly want for others, and to
know whether you’re in a holy or an unholy relationship with every person
you’re involved with. The holy relationship. One truth that I’ve recognized during the years of
my own growth is that it’s impossible to know my perfection if I’m unable
to see and honor that same perfection in others. The ability to see yourself
as a temporary expression of intention and to see yourself in all of humanity
is a characteristic of the holy relationship. It’s the ability to celebrate and
honor in all others, the place where we’re all one. In an unholy relationship, you see yourself as separate from others. It’s
the feeling that others are primarily useful to satisfy ego’s urges, and that
people are there to help you get what’s missing in your life. In any kind of arelationship, this attitude of separation and potential manipulation creates a
barrier between you and the power of intention. The signs of unholy
relationships are quite clear: People become defensive, fearful, hostile,
standoffish, and don’t wish to be in your company. As you change your thought patterns to raise your energy vibrations, and
reduce the demands of your ego, you’ll begin developing a reverent or holy
relationship with others. Then everyone is perceived as complete. When
you can celebrate differences in others as interesting or enjoyable, you’re
loosening your identity with ego. The holy relationship is a way of
matching up with the universal Source of Creation and being peacefully
joyful. Any relationship—or even an encounter—from the holy perspective,
is a coming together with a beloved self-aspect and discovering a
stimulating connection with the power of intention. Recently, in a supermarket, I asked a frenzied clerk behind the seafood
counter if he knew where I could find the smoked salmon. I saw myself as
connected to him in spite of the frustration showing through his behavior. A
man standing next to me heard my request and saw the clerk’s harried
demeanor. The stranger smiled at me and went to another area of the store,
returning with a package of nova lox, which he handed me. He delivered to
me what I was seeking! A coincidence? I think not. When I feel myself
connected to others and radiate the energy of holy relationship, people react
with kindness and go out of their way to assist me with my intentions. In another example of this, I was transferred from one airline to another
because of a mechanical problem that resulted in a cancellation. At my
original airline, which is in my hometown, the employees know me and go
out of their way to assist me. I’ve practiced holy relationships with
everyone at the counter, at baggage check-in, on the plane, and so on. On
this particular day, I was sent to the other end of the airport with seven
boxes of books and tapes that had to be checked as baggage. As my
assistant, Maya, and I trudged up to the counter of the other airline, pushing
a cart with luggage and seven heavy boxes, the passenger agent announced
that her airline did not permit more than two pieces of luggage to be
checked in, and that I would have to leave three of the boxes behind. I could
check in two for me and two for Maya. Those are the rules.Here’s where a holy relationship with a stranger has more potential for
assisting you with your intentions than an unholy relationship. Rather than
countering the agent with an intention that she was a clerk whose job it was
to serve my needs, I chose to join her where we both are one. I let her know
that I wasn’t even mildly upset over this rule, and I imagined how she must
feel, having to process a large number of people who weren’t scheduled on
this flight. I felt connected, and expressed my own feelings of frustration at
having this challenge of what to do with these three extra boxes, which my
originally scheduled airline had agreed to transport. I invited her to attend a
lecture I was giving in town the next month, as my guest. Our entire
conversation and the entire interaction was guided by my private intent that
this remain a holy relationship. The energy of this interaction shifted from weak to strong. We bonded,
recognized our self in the other, and she checked in all of my boxes with a
cheerful smile. I’ve never forgotten what she said to me as she handed me
our boarding passes. “When you wheeled up that cart with all those boxes, I
was determined that you weren’t going to get them on that plane, and after a
few moments of being with you, I would’ve carried them out and put them
on the plane myself if I had to. It’s a pleasure to know you. Thank you for
your business, and I hope you’ll consider our airline in the future.”
These are two simple examples of what happens when you consciously
shift from ego-dominated unholy relationships, to experiencing your
connectedness through the power of intention. I urge you to establish a holy
relationship with your Source, the world community, your neighbors,
acquaintances, family, the animal kingdom, our planet, and yourself. Just as
in my examples of the man in the store delivering me the smoked salmon I
was looking for, and the airline agent assisting me in realizing my intent,
you’ll enjoy the power of intention through holy relationships. It’s all about
relationship. Alone We Can Do Nothing
When you meet anyone, treat the event as a holy encounter. It’s through
others that we either find or love our self. For you see, nothing is
accomplished without others. A Course in Miracles says this so well:Alone we can do nothing,
But together our minds fuse into something
Whose power is far beyond
The power of its separate parts. The kingdom cannot be found alone,
And you who are the kingdom
Cannot find yourself alone. When you eliminate the concept of separation from your thoughts and
your behavior, you begin to feel your connection to everything and
everyone. You’ll begin having a sense of belonging, which enables you to
scoff at any thought of being separate. This feeling of connectedness
originates with and helps you process all of your interactions from the point
of view of equality. By recognizing others as co-creators, you match up
with your Source and move into a state of grace. If you’re seeing yourself
as either inferior or superior, you’ve disconnected from the power of
intention. Your desires will be frustrated unless you connect with and
support other people. How you interact with your universal support team is significant. How
you view others is a projection of how you view yourself. Consistently
seeing others as worthless means that you’re erecting a roadblock for your
potential allies. See others as weak, and you’re simultaneously attracting
weak energies. Persistently viewing others as dishonest, lazy, sinful, and so
on may mean that you need to feel superior. Constantly seeing others
critically can be a way of compensating for something you fear. But you
don’t even need to understand this psychological mechanism. All you have
to do is recognize how you view others. If there’s a pattern of seeing others
as failures, you only need to notice the pattern as evidence of what you’re
attracting into your life. It’s so important to see interactions as holy encounters, because this sets
in motion an attractor energy pattern. In a holy relationship, you attract the
collaboration of higher energies. In an unholy relationship, the attractor
pattern exists, too, attracting low energies and more unholy relationships.By bringing higher spiritual energy to everyone you encounter, you dissolve
lower energies. When the energies of kindness, love, receptivity, and
abundance are present in your relationships, you have brought the elixir of
spiritual Creation or the love of the Creator right into the mix. Now those
forces begin to work on everyone in your environment. The right people
magically appear. The right materials show up. The phone rings and
someone gives you the information you’ve been wanting for months. Strangers offer suggestions that make sense to you. As I mentioned earlier,
these types of coincidences are like mathematical angles that coincide, or fit
together perfectly. Treat others as co-creators and have divine expectations
for them. Don’t view anyone as ordinary, unless of course you wish to have
more of the ordinary manifest into your world. From Ordinary to Extraordinary
Leo Tolstoy’s famous story The Death of Ivan Ilyich, is one of my
favorite pieces of literature. Tolstoy describes Ivan Ilyich as a man who’s
motivated almost exclusively by the expectations of others, and isn’t able to
live out his own dreams. The opening line of Chapter 2 in this compelling
story goes like this: “The story of Ivan Ilyich’s life was of the simplest,
most ordinary and therefore most terrible.” Tolstoy actually defines living
an ordinary life as terrible. I couldn’t agree more! If your expectations for yourself center on being normal, just getting
along, fitting in, and being an ordinary person, you’ll resonate to ordinary
frequencies, and you’ll attract more of normal and ordinary into your life. Furthermore, your impact on others as potential allies in co-creating your
intentions will also revolve around ordinary. The power of intention occurs
when you’re synchronized with the all-creating universal force, which is
anything but ordinary. This is the power that’s responsible for all of
creation. It’s ever-expansive, and thinks and creates in terms of endless
abundance. When you shift to this higher energy and resonate more in
harmony with intention, you become a magnet for attracting more of this
energy into your world. You also have this kind of impact on everyone and
everything you’re in contact with. One of the most effective means for transcending ordinary and moving
into the realm of extraordinary is saying yes more frequently andeliminating no almost completely. I call it saying yes to life. Say yes to
yourself, to your family, your children, your coworkers, and your business. Ordinary says, No, I don’t think I can do it. No, that won’t work out. No,
I’ve tried that and it’s never worked before. No, that intention is impossible
for me. With the idea of no, you attract more of no, and your impact on
others whom you could help and on whom you could rely for help is also
no. Once again, I urge you to adopt the attitude of the poet Hafiz. I rarely let the word No escape
From my mouth
Because it is so plain to my soul
That God has shouted, Yes! Yes! Yes! To every luminous movement in Existence
Shout yes to everyone as often as you can. When someone seeks your
permission to try something, before saying no, ask yourself if you want that
person to stay at ordinary levels of living. When my son Sands wished to
try out a new surfing area last week, my first inclination was to say, Too
dangerous, you’ve never been there before, you could get hurt, and so on. But I reconsidered, and accompanied him on a new adventure. My yes
impacted his life and mine in a positive manner. Making yes your inner mantra allows you to extend yes outside of
yourself and attract more of yes into your own personal intending. Yes is the
breath of Creation. Think of a drop of rain merging with a river at the
moment it becomes the river. Think of the river merging with the ocean at
the moment it becomes the ocean. You can almost hear the sound of yes
being whispered in those moments. As you merge with the universal force
of Creation extending yes wherever feasible, you become that force of
Creation itself. This will be your impact on others. No more ordinary nos in
your life. On to the extraordinary. Ordinary implies being stuck in a rut much like Ivan Ilyich. While in the
rut, you’ll attract other rut-dwellers, and your mutual impact will be to stay
in your ordinary ruts—complaining, finding fault, wishing, and hoping for
better days. The universal force of intention never complains; it creates andoffers its options for greatness. It judges no one, and isn’t stuck wishing and
hoping that things will improve. It’s too busy creating beauty to be so
foolishly engaged. As you move your own energy level up out of a rut
mentality, you’ll have an uplifting effect on all of the rut-dwellers in your
life. Moreover, you’ll help many of them have a similar impact, and create
new allies in fulfilling your own intentions. Become aware of your
identification with normal or ordinary, and begin to vibrate to higher and
higher energetic frequencies, which constitute a shift upward into the
extraordinary dimensions of pure intent. How Your Energies Impact Others
When you feel connected and in harmony with intention, you sense a
major difference in how other people react to you. Be cognizant of these
reactions, because they’ll bear directly on your abilities to fulfill your
individual intentions. The more closely you automatically resonate to the
frequencies of the universal all-creating Source, the more that others will be
impacted and their lower energies nullified. They’ll gravitate toward you,
bringing peace, joy, love, beauty, and abundance into your life. What
follows is my opinion on how you’ll impact others when you’re resonating
with intention, and how different your impact is when you’re dominated by
your ego’s separatist attitude. Here are some of the most significant ways in which you’ll impact others:
 
Your presence instills calmness. When you coincide with intention, your
impact on others has a calming influence. People tend to feel more at peace,
less threatened, and more at ease. The power of intention is the power of
love and receptivity. It asks nothing of anyone, it judges no one, and it
encourages others to be free to be themselves. As people feel calmer in your
presence, they’re inclined to feel safe, by virtue of the energy frequencies
that you radiate. Their feelings are encouraged by your energy of love and
receptivity, causing them to want to reach out and be with you. As Walt
Whitman put it: “We convince by our presence.”
If, instead, you bring the lower calibrations of judgment, hostility, anger,
hatred, or depression to your interactions, you attract that level of energy ifit’s lurking in the people you’re interacting with. This acts like a
counterforce to those same energies if they’re present in others. The impact
intensifies the lower frequencies at that level and creates a field in which
demands are placed as a result of feelings of inferiority or opposition. Intention doesn’t interact against anything. It’s like gravity, which
doesn’t move against anything, nor does gravity itself move. Think of
impacting others like gravity, with no need to move against or attack
anyone. People who feel empowered by your presence become kindred
spirits. That can only happen if they feel safe rather than attacked, secure
rather than judged, calm rather than harassed. Your presence leaves others feeling energized. I recall leaving a two-
hour session with a spiritual master and feeling as if I could conquer the
world emotionally and spiritually. The saint was Mother Meera, who’d held
my head in her hands and gazed into my eyes with her egoless divinity. I
felt so energized that I didn’t sleep that entire night. I wanted more of what
this joyous being had shown me through her presence alone. When you bring the frequencies of intention into the presence of others,
they’ll feel energized just by being in your immediate circle. You don’t have
to say a word. You don’t have to act in any prescribed fashion. Your energy
of intention alone will make others in your field feel as if they’ve
mysteriously been empowered. As you begin consciously expressing the
seven faces of intention, you’ll discover that others begin to comment on
the impact you’re making on them. They’ll want to assist you in fulfilling
your own dreams. They’ll be energized and volunteer to help you. They’ll
even begin to offer to finance your dreams with their energized, new ideas. As I’ve grown in my consciousness of the power of intention, I’ve been told
I’ve had an impact without my doing anything other than spending an
evening having a meal in a restaurant. People tell me they’ve been
energized with greater confidence and determination and inspiration after
our time together. I’ve done nothing. They’ve felt impacted by the field of
high energy we shared. Your presence allows others to feel better about themselves. Have you
ever noticed when you’re in the presence of certain people that you feel
better about yourself? Their compassionate energy has the noticeably
pleasant impact of simply making you feel really good about yourself. You’ll impact others with this energy of compassion as you develop your
connection to intention. People will sense that you care about them,
understand them, and are interested in them as unique individuals. With this
kind of connection to intention, you’re less likely to focus conversation on
yourself and use others to massage your ego. On the contrary, being in the company of someone who’s disdainful or
indifferent impacts you quite differently. If this is the low energy you
transmit to others, they’re quite likely to depart the encounter feeling less
than wonderful about themselves, unless they’re so strongly connected to
intention that they can override the impact of this low energy. These
extremely low-energy thoughts and behaviors are evident if you use every
topic that’s brought up as an excuse to talk about yourself. Any behavior
similar to this displays ego-dominated energy that impacts others
unpleasantly. Moreover, it leaves others feeling as if they’re insignificant or
unimportant, and obviously feeling worse about themselves when it’s a
repeated pattern in a significant relationship. Your presence allows others to feel unified. The effect of being in the
presence of people expressing high frequencies is to feel unified and
connected to all of nature, all of humankind, and to intention. As you raise
your frequencies, your impact on others invites them to be on the same
team. You are unified and want to assist each other in the fulfillment of a
common objective. The opposite of this feeling of unity is feeling polarized and cut off. Low
energy is demanding and always moves against others. Therefore, it will
inevitably produce a win/lose condition. The energies of antagonism,
judgment, hatred, and the like set up a counterforce in which somebody has
to lose. When you have an enemy, you need to establish a defense system,
and having to defend yourself becomes the nature of your relationship. Oneperson’s need to move against and polarize sets in motion the conditions for
war. War is always expensive. This is all avoidable by staying connected to
intention and bringing that higher energy to your relationships, allowing
those you encounter to feel the oneness with you, with everyone else, with
nature, and with God. Your presence instills a sense of purpose. When you’re in the higher
spiritual energies, you bring something to others that’s almost inexplicable. Your presence and behavior from a space of love, acceptance, nonjudgment,
and kindness becomes a catalyst for others feeling on purpose in their lives. By staying at the higher energies of optimism, forgiveness,
understanding, reverence for Spirit, creativity, serenity, and bliss, you
radiate this energy and convert lower energies to your higher vibrations. These people whom you so nondeliberately impact begin to feel your quiet
reverence and serenity. Your own purpose, which revolves around serving
others and therefore serving God, becomes fulfilled, and as a bonus, you
create allies. I’ve had thousands of people tell me that just by attending a lecture or a
talk at a church where the primary message is hope, love, and kindness is
sufficient motivation for them to make a commitment to pursuing their
purpose. When I’m the speaker at such events, I always enter from the rear
of the room to take some time to drink in the energy of hope, optimism, and
love. I can literally feel their collective energy. It’s like a peaceful wave of
pleasure, as if there were a warm shower running inside of me. This is
energy. It’s the stuff of intention, and it’s powerfully motivating in helping
everyone feel purposeful and hopeful. Your presence allows others to trust in authentic personal
connections. By bringing the traits of intention to others, you allow trust to
be present. You’ll notice both an inclination and a willingness on the part of
others to open up and confide in you. This is related to the quality of trust. In the atmosphere of higher energy, people trust and want to share theirpersonal stories with you. By being so connected to intention, you are more
God-like, and who would you trust more than God to share your secrets
with? Recently during an early-morning whale-watching expedition, a woman
who had no idea of my identity disclosed to me her history of failed
relationships and how unfulfilled she felt. In conversation with me, in an
energy field that allows and encourages trust, she let herself take the risk of
opening up to a stranger. (This has occurred frequently since I’ve been
living the principles of the seven faces of intention.) As St. Francis of Assisi
put it, “It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our
preaching.” You’ll ultimately discover that by carrying this energy of
intention with you, even strangers will do what they can to serve you and
help you accomplish your own intentions. The opposite results are apparent when you emit the lower-energy
frequencies. If your distrustful energy exhibits itself in anxious, judgmental,
dictatorial, superior, or demanding ways, others are disinclined to help you
get what you want. The truth is that your low-energy emissions often leave
others with the desire to interfere with your own intentions. Why? Because
your low energies help to create a counterforce, conflict erupts, winners and
losers are necessary, and enemies are created—all because of your
unwillingness to stay connected to the faces of intention. Your presence inspires others to greatness. When you’re connected to
Spirit and quietly reflect this consciousness, you become a source of
inspiration to others. In a sense, this is one of the most powerful effects that
connecting to intention transmits to others. The word inspiration means “in-
spirit.” The fact that you’re primarily in-spirit means that you inspire rather
than inform with your presence. You won’t inspire others by loudly
insisting or demanding that others listen to your point of view. In all the years that I’ve been teaching, writing, lecturing, and producing
tapes and videos, I’ve noticed a twofold process at work. I feel on purpose,
inspired, and connected to universal Spirit in all of my work, and many
thousands or even millions of people become inspired as a result of my owninspiration. The second factor is the vast number of people who have helped
me with my work. They’ve sent me materials, written me inspiring stories
that I’ve used, and literally been my co-creators. When you inspire others
by your presence, you’re utilizing the originating power of intention for the
benefit of all those you touch, including yourself. I wholeheartedly endorse
this way of being, and I know without a doubt that you too can be a
presence that’s inspiring to others. Your presence aligns others with beauty. When you’re connected to
intention, you see beauty everywhere and in everything because you’re
radiating the quality of beauty. Your perceptual world changes dramatically. At the higher energy of intent, you see beauty in everyone, young or old,
rich or poor, dark or light, with no distinctions. Everything is perceived
from a perspective of appreciation rather than judgment. As you bring this
feeling of beauty appreciation to the presence of others, people are inclined
to see themselves as you see them. They feel attractive and better about
themselves as they circulate that high energy of beauty. When people feel
beautiful, they act in beautiful ways. Your awareness of beauty impacts
others to see the world around them in the same way. The benefit, once
again, is twofold. First, you’ll be helping others become appreciators of life
and be happier by virtue of their immersion into a world of beauty. Second,
your own intentions receive the assistance of those people who have
acquired newly enhanced self-esteem. Beauty proliferates in others just by
virtue of your presence when you’re connected to intention. Your presence instills health rather than sickness. Your connection to
your Source keeps you focused on what you intend to manifest into your
life, with no energy given to what you don’t want. This internal focus
doesn’t permit you to complain about what ails you or to think about
disease, pain, or any physical difficulties. Your energy is always on creating
love, and expanding the perfection from which you originated. This
includes your body and all of your beliefs about your physical self. You
know in your heart that your body is a system of miracles. You have greatreverence for its amazing capacity to heal itself and to function on its own
without your interference. You know that your physical self is inspired by a
divine force that beats its heart, digests its food, and grows its fingernails,
and that this same force is receptive to endlessly abundant health. When you bring to the presence of others a healthy appreciation for the
miracle that your body represents, you defuse their efforts to dwell on
disease, ill health, and deterioration.

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        The sound world. You seldom perceive sound waves with your eyes,
but they can actually be felt. These invisible waves are also high/low and
fast/slow. This sound level of energy is where you connect to the highest
frequencies of Spirit through the practice of Japa meditation, or the
repetition of the sound of God, as I’ve written about extensively in Getting
in the Gap. 3. The light world. Light moves faster than the material world and faster
than sound, yet there are no actual particles to form a substance called light. What you see as red is what your eye perceives a certain pulsating
frequency to be, and what you perceive as violet is an even faster and
higher frequency. When light is brought to darkness, darkness becomes
light. The implications for this are startling. Low energy when faced with
high energy experiences an automatic conversion. 4. The thought world. Your thoughts are an extremely high frequency of
pulsation that moves beyond the speed of sound and even light. The
frequency of thoughts can be measured, and the impact that they have on
your body and your environment can be calculated. Once again, the same
rules apply. Higher frequencies nullify lower; faster energies convert
slower. A colleague I admire enormously, David Hawkins, M. D. , has
written a work, which I’ve referenced often, called Power vs. Force. In this
remarkable book, Dr. Hawkins elaborates on the lower frequencies of
thought and their accompanying emotions, and how they can be impacted
and converted by exposure to higher and faster frequencies. I urge you to
read his book, and I’ll present some of those findings in the section on
raising your energy levels. Every thought you have can be calculated to
determine if it’s strengthening or weakening your ability to reconnect to the
highest and fastest energy in the universe. 5. The Spirit world. Here is the ultimate in energy. These frequencies are
so supersonically rapid that the presence of disorder, disharmony, and even
disease is impossible. These measurable energies consist of the seven faces
of intention, written about throughout the pages of this book. They are the
energies of creation. When you reproduce them in yourself, you reproduce
the same creative quality of life that called you into existence. They are the
qualities of creativity, kindness, love, beauty, expansion, peacefulabundance, and receptivity. These are the highest energies of the universal
Spirit itself. You came into existence from this energy, and you can match
up with it energetically as you remove the low-energy pulsations from your
thoughts and feelings. Consider these words of the Nobel Prize–winning physicist Max Planck
as he accepted his award for his study of the atom: “As a man who has
devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of
matter, I can tell you as the result of my research about atoms this much:
There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of
a force which brings the particles of an atom to vibration and holds this
most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind
this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the
matrix of all matter. ” It is to this mind that I urge you to match up. Raising Your Energy Level
Every thought you have has an energy that will either strengthen or
weaken you. It’s obviously a good idea to eliminate the thoughts that
weaken you, since these thoughts are obstacles to creating a winning match
with the universal, supreme Source of intention. Take a moment to ponder
the meaning behind Anthony de Mello’s observation in One Minute
Wisdom:
Why is everyone here so happy except me. “Because they have learned to see goodness 
and beauty everywhere,” said the Master. Why don’t I see goodness and beauty everywhere. “Because you cannot see outside of you what you 
fail to see inside. ”
What you may fail to see inside is a result of how you choose to process
everything and everyone in your world. You project onto the world what
you see inside, and you fail to project into the world what you fail to see
inside. If you knew that you were an expression of the universal Spirit ofintention, that’s what you’d see. You’d raise your energy level beyond any
possibility of encumbrances to your connection to the power of intention. It
is only discord acting within your own feelings that will ever deprive you of
everygood thing that life holds for you. If you understand this simple
observation, you’ll curb interferences to intention. There’s a vibratory action to your thoughts, your feelings, and your body. I’m asking you to increase those frequencies so they’re high enough to
allow you to connect to the power of intention. This may sound like an
oversimplification, but I hope you’ll try raising your energy level as a way
to remove the obstacles that prevent you from experiencing the perfection
you’re a part of. You cannot remedy anything by condemning it. You only
add to the destructive energy that’s already permeating the atmosphere of
your life. When you react to the lower energies you encounter with your
own low energies, you’re actually setting up a situation that attracts more of
that lower energy. For example, if someone behaves in a hateful manner
toward you and you respond by hating them for hating you, you’re
participating in a lower energy field, and impacting all who enter that field. If you’re angry at those around you for being angry people, you’re
attempting to remedy the situation through condemnation. Don’t use weakening energies employed by those around you. Other
people can’t bring you down if you’re operating at the higher energies. Why. Because higher and faster energies nullify and convert lower/slower
energies, not the reverse. If you feel that the lower energies of those around
you are bringing you down, it’s because you’re joining them at their energy
levels. Your unbending intention may be to be slim and healthy. You know that
the universal all-creative Spirit brought you into existence in that
microscopic dot of human cellular tissue not to be sickly, overweight, or
unattractive. but to create love, be kind, and express beauty. This is what
the power of intention intended for you to become. Now get this: You
cannot attract attractiveness into your life by hating anything about what
you’ve allowed yourself to become.
