It might be useful to think of an intention like this:
An intention is a "thought action." When you intend to do something, say something as simple as picking up keys off a table, that thought preceeds the action of "picking up keys." In acting for theatre and screen, they actually refer to it as "intention" or "inner action." The point is, having an intention does not exclude action, action is implicit in the thought itself (the thought directly leads to action). Here's where it gets interesting: the thinker may carry out the action, or the action(s) may be carried out by others.
The subjective model of reality is a valuable and practical one because it takes into consideration the interconnectedness of all things. Through one consciousness (call it the universe, god, zero-point field, whatever) our own awareness is a fragment - and both lens on our reality and connector to every other being.
I adopted this subjective model a few months ago and gained such great results that I see no point reverting back to the more traditional "objective" perspective. There is also no point trying to prove a particular model because that's all they are: "models," paradigms through which we personally think about and interact with our reality. It may or may not be "factual," all that counts are the results.
All the best
