Ok...

Here's my confusion.

In the article it states that you should not mix the "outflow" intentions with "inflow" intentions.

Outflow being creative/getting intentions.

Inflow being receiving/consumption intentions.

So...

What if you wanted to CREATE a website, business, relationship, a great body etc. (outflow intention.) And then GET money, love, health etc. (inflow intention) out of your "creation."

Essentially you are crossing signals here aren’t you?

You are saying: "I want to create something to get something."

That is directly mixing outflow with inflow and according to the article, you would be crossing signals and possibly nullifying your entire intention.

I would argue that everyone CREATING something is ultimately attempting to GET something out of the deal.

So wouldn’t everyone always be crossing intentions?

And how do you focus on wanting something and know that you must create something to get it? Or how do you focus on creating something and not want anything out of the deal? Even simply happiness?

Any ideas?
