I'm not sure about this polarity idea of intentions. Sounds like too much thinking about it too me as an initial reaction.

Also, what happened to the Subjective Reality model during this? If we are all one, then there really isn't an in and out "flow" for intentions. It's as if where every you draw your personal self boundary is where the flow is but at the ultimate universe boundary there's no in and out - maybe there's a wax and wane of vibes.

I could think, maybe, this in/out intention idea helps distill the goal and helps your focus and that may be what produces better results. And that's all it is - a technique that makes it easier to focus on the intention.

But also if it makes sense to amplify your energy of a thought (to make it more than just content) it seems like anything that makes you feel more excited would be invited into thoughts - regardless of the in/out flow.

If I intened to have a great meal I can be jazzed about creating it and also how it will feel to eat it - and I actually do that all the time while preparing food. I enjoy the chopping, all the while imagining that when I sit to eat that salad it will be fullfilling. Those two in and outs don't cancel at all!! If I just tried to stop thinking about what it would be like to eat what I'm creating I'd feel cut off and detached and I don't think my experience would be as rich.

I had a little idea about this in/out that if one has an intention and found the two parts of this intention - then while doing meditation on it one could inhale the ins and exhale the outs of it and feel the emotions of both sides of the polarities. Like, if I intend a smooth/satisfiying relationship - I could exhale what it feels like to give to the other person and inhale what it would feel like to be loved.

I still don't see why in/out would cancel each other - expecially if both in and out are for the greater good of all involved!!

Has Steve written more on this one? Seems like a while ago the blog was posted.
