The comments about detatchment intrigued me immensely. I can't help but notice that every time I've been detatched and completely uncaring as to whether my intent is fulfilled or not, it is pretty much always fulfilled. I've noticed this so many times. In such instances, my desire is not completely gone -- I still have a preference for a certain outcome, but am also utterly content with my intent not being fulfilled.
I'm not entirely sure why this is so, but I assume it has something to do with being free from a certain "anxietousness" that often encumbers desire. For example, when most animals receive or capture something tasty, they eat it in a rush for fear that it will be taken away. When intending certain things, that we have an emotional or worried attatchment to, we normally feel that same anxiety that we won't get the object of our desire, or that it will be taken away from us. I believe this projects outwards and encumbers the enfolding reality with the manifestation of anxiety, which is rooted in fear. This results in the manifestation of lack or failure.
Also, if we overly anticipate how general goals will be fulfilled via intention, we restrict the creative flow of possibilities and oppurtunities that could aid us in the fulfillment of our desire. Obviously, this same state of anticipation wouldn't apply to a highly specific application of intent energy, like say, lifting a rock with your mind (assuming that's possible of course). But, I think, cultivating this un-attatchment to the ultimate outcome of intention manifestation is of paramount importance in mastering this ability.
Feel free to add any insights. I'm all eyes.
