Richard: Pure intent is a palpable life-force; an actually occurring stream of benevolence and benignity that originates in the vast and utter stillness that is the essential character of the universe itself.
(This doesn’t have its own glossary entry? This quote was copied from This Moment of Being Alive, from the link on the first page)
The objection I had for years about this description was this; how can something “stream” from something that is “stillness “?
Something still, by definition, is not streaming.
It just occurred to me why this objection is wrong. Human Consciousness is finite. The infinitude is, infinite!
And perception of the actual by a finite consciousness (the only type there is) will be experienced as streaming,
The other thought, which I never acted on, is; this stillness is the very stuff I am made of. It’s not some distant star streaming pure intent, or a tree, or something outside of this body per se, the proximate location of pure intent as described IS the actual body ‘I’ inhabit.
As to whether consciousness is finite; if ever there was a person who who posthumously correct himself as to an assertion he made, it would be Richard. To my knowledge, no one has received any messages from beyond the grave. Indeed, my own father an I made a pact before he passed, that he would send me a message from the “other side”. Nothing received.
So, back to the topic; pure intent is experienced as a “stream” originating in the “vast and utter stillness” because consciousness is finite.
I am writing this out now, as I am about to go for a motorcycle ride, and I would hate for my last thought, if the worst happened, was “I should have let others know I finally get it!” @rick
