I don’t have a connection to pure intent. It seems like I have abandoned that pursuit.
Will try and read TMOBA again.

Hi James,
Can you pinpoint the trigger which caused you to “abandoned that pursuit”?

Hi James,
I just found a quote that might be useful –
• [Alan]: ‘… the only question which remains – do ‘I’ have the necessary intestinal fortitude to proceed?
• [Richard]: ‘No … because no one has ‘the necessary intestinal fortitude to proceed’ before they proceed: it comes in sufficient quality, and only as required by the circumstances, as one proceeds.
The question is: what is preventing ‘me’ from proceeding? (Richard, List AF, Alan-b, 28 January 2001).

Back to enjoying, appreciating and having fun. Still no pure intent. I think what is stopping me is the belief that ‘I can’t.’
Hi James,
I thought so. This is a habitual belief adopted by you from your dead father, you can recognize it as being unproductive and decline to believe in it any longer.
Because it has become a habit it requires your attentiveness to decline it as soon as it makes its appearance and replace it with a habitual confidence that you can, and have already done so a few times.
Changing yourself does involve a bit of effort but it is well worth it.

I’m an old affective habit. Pure intent has two sides, or two aspects. The one that comes from ‘my’ commitment to change that habit, and replace it with a beneficial one, throu the practical actions that ‘I’ do to achieve it (attentiveness, enjoyment, investigation, appreciation, fun, etc) and the other that comes from the universe, that will help this body, pulling ‘me’ towards the actual world until ‘my’ erradication, but only if I take the first step, and the second, and so on:
I need to say goodbye to the memory of my late father like I did to the memory of my ex-wife. That memory is holding me back. Goodbye dad.
The only memory I need now is the memory of pure intent. The memory I have of pure intent is that it was so clear and so pure. I remember it now.
‘I’ have been letting the pain win and take away my feeling good, enjoyment, appreciation and fun. I have decided not to fight the pain by not objecting to it. I need to see the fact of the pain instead of fighting it.
