Emotions behind Intentions

[dyakub]

According to many sources including Abraham Hicks, emotions are the strength behind intentions. Focusing on an intention with enough emotion whether positive or negative successfully creates its results; however, should these emotions be associated with the specified intention or could they be from something else thought of joined with the specified intention. An example would be....If you are crying by the bedside (very strong emotion) because of some particular event you've experienced and you turn your attention to focus on a desire while your crying, would the manifestation work?

I direct you to the shortcuts to LOA thread my friend.

While emotion might be the "engine" that drives other theories of I-M, it serves a very different purpose in the way that Abraham-Hicks describes the workings of the LoA. They have a brief summary of Abraham's teachings of the website (abraham-hicks.com) but an even better, easy-to-read primer can be found in their "Ask and It is given" book. (IMHO, the only Abraham book one needs to read.)

According to Abraham, the powerful unpleasant emotions you described in your example would be your indicator that you were not aligniiing yourself with Source or your stream of well-being, which moves you towards your Vibrational escrow where all your "asking" has been answered and is waiting for you.

While I can't speak for all theories about the LoA, in the ones with which I'm familiar, an emotion of grief or sorrow generally is not considered a good "engine" or "fuel" to attract positive conditions or things into one's experience. YMMV, though.
