The Science of Intention and Feedback: Understanding How The Universe Works So We Can Co-Create With It
We live in a Universe of intention and feedback.
Or put another way: cause and effect. Or another: an output and input of energy.
We are constantly putting out our intentions into the world and receiving feedback from the Universe.
In a Universe where everything is comprised of and manifests from energy, intention is our signal strength: We send out energy through our thoughts, actions, the way we use our body and our emotions. Intention is established through clarity of vision — which is a function of mindfulness and presence.
Feedback is what is all around us. Through feedback, we also receive energy as input in the form of the outcomes we manifest in the world and our interactions with others and through our physical and spiritual senses ( i.e. intuitive powers).
The human brain is wired to always be on the lookout for feedback (see Reticular Activating System). These are the subtle cues in our reality our brain picks up on that help us satisfy our intentions, resonate with the energy we are putting out, and ultimately lead us to our desires. Whether done consciously or unconsciously, we always manifest outcomes in our life through our intention. (See Law of Resonance).
The Loop of Reality
Intention and feedback is the loop of reality, and our mental energy is what makes it go round and round.
As Ram Dass said so brilliantly: “Our karma is our mind.”
So, instead of trying to manage and manipulate time and your surroundings, manage and manipulate energy: your mental focus, your emotional domain, and your physiology.
So really, we can say unequivocally: everything comes down to energy. And if everything comes down to how we manage and manipulate our energy, then it’s easy to see that reality is a construct created through self-responsibility or lack thereof.
- Taking responsibility for our own intentions and agendas and how it's translating out into the world.
- Choosing whether to lean in with curiosity or back away in resistance to whatever you are presented with in your current reality.
- Being willing to examine the intention of others around you.
- Setting intentions for your entire life, but also on a moment-by-moment basis.
Intention and feedback is the language of the Universe. They are how we operate within and communicate with this life force animating us in this land of time and space. And in this language, the three most essential expressions one must learn to speak is:
What do I want to feel? How do I want to show up? What do I want to experience?
Greet the world, day after day, moment by moment in that manner — and pay attention to what shows up.
