Man unconsciously craves failure until we have worked out this craving.
It’s hard to consciously admit that because our minds are geared toward thinking that success is good and failure is bad.
Our unconscious psyche fears expansion, growth, change, and becoming stronger than our father. We become addicted to looking for problems and rationalizing why we should feel disappointed, frustrated, broken, victimized, and used.
The trick of the mind is that we tie our disappointment to external events without recognizing that if it wasn’t that particular event, we would find something else to be disappointed about.
Our mind sensationalizes external circumstances, so we unconsciously work against ourselves to ensure that achieving our goals is more difficult than necessary.
Then, we’re surprised when our goals actually come to fruition despite all the effort we put into making success unlikely.
The solution to this is developing unbending intent. The only real issue is that our intent becomes bent by the habit of surrendering to our programming. This means we don’t have to heal and resolve everything.
We have to become stronger than the sabotage by being aware of these conflicting forces—one that is entirely parasitic and one that is pure creativity.
We can either live in a state of perpetual reaction, prevention, and fear, or we can stop putting so much stock into our current state.
By simply seeing what is happening, we can, regardless of our state, make decisions that effectively circumvent the parasitic self-sabotaging agenda.
Having animals around can be very helpful and healing because they reflect beings who don’t have this foreign installation. We value our intellect, but it’s also our intellect that has been hijacked. Animals, having a different form of intellect, tend to have a superior relationship with intent. By learning from and watching how animals relate to intent, we can recognize how confused we are in comparison.
To operate from intent instead of from intention is an enormous lifestyle shift that requires patience and listening to our inner being.
