Hi James,
James: I remember my experience of pure intent but I’m not remembering the exact word I used to rememorate it.
I think the exact word does not matter ultimately, it’s not that one is invoking pure intent as if summoning a spirit
Ultimately it’s the experiential/existential connection which counts.
James: I remember it as a stillness or vastness but that is still not the words that did it for me.
The stillness is the source of pure intent but it is not pure intent per se, I think those words used to describe it really do it as well as it could be done - “a genuinely occurring stream of benevolence and benignity which originates in the perfect and vast stillness that is the essential character of the infinitude of the universe“.
As in there is the stillness of infinitude and from this stillness wells up this one of a kind flavour, which is as if infused into everything… That flavour is the “genuinely occurring stream of benevolence and benignity” ie pure intent.
