Yes so this is precisely what I was contemplating whilst I was driving yesterday, before I saw the guardian. I wanted to find something that is impeccable and the answer is pure intent. But I can see now that this conscience which I saw is absolutely necessary as long as ‘I’ am a feeling being. It is a fail-safe in that way because as long as ‘I’ am in existence as a passionate being then there is always a chance for malice to be activated.
So when I arrived at the party yesterday after the guardian was as if lifted off a little and there was the experience of pure intent being readily accessible, there was this sense that nothing could go wrong, that as long as pure intent is active then it is certain that I will behave in a manner that is safe for all.
So what I understand now is that it is this connection to pure intent which needs to be maintained, and that when that connection is severed for whatever reason that this is as if a red flashing light. That the goal is then to resume allowing pure intent, because only then am ‘I’ able to live in a way which is safe whilst being amoral.
Essentially that is to say that there is no other way to safely operate outside of the morals and ethics than via pure intent. Pure intent is the anchor to that which is safe and impeccable.
And linking this back to my previous post, it is this connection to pure intent that will answer my question of how/whether to proceed with competitive training and what it will look like in practice.
