Recently, I have seen much writing about the power of intention and expectation. This is a little unnerving to me, mostly because of the way that it’s presented; we need only expect a certain outcome…presumably with some third eye or something, and that ‘result’ will manifest.

From a Quantum physics perspective, I suppose this is possible to some degree, if you look at concepts like; ‘matter responds to human expectation’. But how can this work for the whole world?

Suppose that 50 million people read this nifty book which tells them that the best thing they can do for themselves is create an expectation for all of their desires.

How can these folks actually know what impact these expectations will have on each other and the universe as a whole? And how can a society that shuns pagans, witches, etc. think that this is somehow different, somehow ok. At least pagans are smart enough to understand causality and live by rules such as; ‘The Law of Threefold Return’.

How can a person predict the outcome of their will somehow imprinted on the universe? We have all seen the movies where a time traveler botches everything they do because of their ignorance of cause and effect. By the end of the movie our traveler is doing all he can to attempt to successfully undo everything that he has done.

I doubt seriously, that if folks could force their will on the universe, that their ultimate desire would manifest anyway, if for no other reason, than so few of us really know what our Ultimate desire is.

If one definition of insanity is; ‘To continue to do the same thing over and over and expect different results’, then perhaps our world is insane. We are constantly chasing after the better life, the bigger car, house, boat, and for the very few that ever catch any of these things, there is nothing but disappointment. Yet we keep chasing, like some hamster on a wheel, or a cat with its tail.

Maybe if we all worked together to ‘will’ one thing on the universe and that was to lose our desire.Yes, if we all desired not to desire, then maybe we could be happy. Let’s try that.
