ATTENTION-INTENTION

Dr Chopra is the author of more than 50 books translated into over 35 languages, is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and a senior scientist with The Gallup Organisation. An excerpt from a talk on the healing quest.

People think, “Oh, intention is just a thought. Actually, intention is like a force in nature. Just like electro magnetism is a force in nature. So too, intention is a force in nature.

“In biology, we have a term called Teleology. It is a term that went out of fashion a while ago but it is coming back. The principle of teleology tells us that if you want to know about the mechanism of a biological phenomenon in evolution, for example, then you have to know what the intended outcome is.

“If you want to know how birds had wings, then you have to say, what was the intention? Of course, the intention was to fly.

“Amphibians became birds, and classical Darwinian Theory says, “Oh, that was random adaptation to environmental forces and you know, the amphibians developed feathers and they were able to fly….”

“If you just develop feathers, you are actually a weaker species because the other animals will come and eat you up. You have to simultaneously develop feathers, a new born structure, a new muscular skeletal system, a new metabolism and that requires a simultaneous, inner dependent co-arising of many things that is orchestrated by intention.

“So, intention is a force in nature that at the deepest levels of nature causes the simultaneous co-arising of inter-dependent events. It is quantum creativity that an intention creates.

“If you want to heal yourself, then first of all, you have to have clarity of what your intended outcome is. “Your intended outcome can’t be in negative terms, “I don’t want to have heart disease, I don’t want to have cancer…”.

“The intended outcome is, “I want to be physically and mentally active, to have increased physical and mental capacity, I want to have time to have fun with my children and my family, I want to be able to run up the stairs…” “When you have clarity of that intention in consciousness, then you must feel it, you must smell it and you must be it.

“And then you introduce that intention into consciousness, and when in meditation, you go to a field of silence and intention orchestrates its own fulfilment and becomes a very powerful force.”
