James: As I was typing that to you last night it was like the purity that always exists came over me. It was the same purity that I remembered from a pce. However, I think I may see what you are saying in distinguishing purity from pure intent.
I recognized this purity and then went right on typing my post to you. In the quote from Richard above he mentions that it was something outside of himself that could do the trick which he called destiny was why he called this purity ‘pure intent’.
I think I get your point that pure intent is a sweetness that is outside of me that is my destiny. I recognized the purity that is always here but not as something outside of me which will take me to my destiny.Iow, it is the purity of pure intent that does the trick and pure intent is outside of me.

Hi James,
I am very pleased for you to hear this. You seem to have found the knack to connect to pure intent now – remember to look for the trigger, if your experiencing dips at some point, and then endeavour to either nip it in the bud or dismantle any obstacle you find.
It can be fun if/when you are fascinated enough, and determined enough, to want to reach your destiny. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain –
Richard: There is no intrinsic identity, essence, core, or quality … what is flawed is attempting to find/ locate that phantasm, that ghost in the machine, when all that needs to be done is to altruistically ‘self’-immolate for the benefit of this body and that body and every body. As there is no such ‘being’ (‘me’ at the core of ‘my’ being is ‘being’ itself) or ‘presence’ in actuality there is nothing to lose … except ‘who’ you instinctively know, feel, and thus think, you are.
And therein lies the rub: ‘I’/‘me’ am so very real, so very, very real, that ‘I’/‘me’ am prepared to do virtually anything – virtually anything at all – than go blessedly into oblivion. (Richard, AF List, No. 54, 22 Oct 2003).
