What is Intent?

People ask me, "How do I project?".

Well, it's 95% Intent... 5% Technique.

So, what is Intent and how do you use it to project?

This is the best way I can think of to describe Intent:
Intent is the difference between intending to move your hand, and actually moving your hand. You can intend to move your hand as much as you want. Sit there, look at your hand and just "think" about moving it. It won't do anything, right? It won't do anything UNTIL you actually MOVE your hand. That act of actually moving your hand is you placing the Intent to do so. So, Intent is the "action" which occurs a fraction before you do something.

If you can figure out how to harness this power, the power of Intent, then you can Project very easily. In terms of Projection (phasing in particular), it's all about ALLOWING your consciousness to shift to the non-physical. It's extremely hard to describe it beyond that, but once you figure it out, you'll see just how easy all this stuff really is. At that point, the hardest thing you'll then need to worry about is STAYING in the non-physical. For that, there are other techniques... which, ironically, also involve entirely around using your Intent!

This is exacly it.
Having the desire to achieve something is required but doing it with conviction is another. You can project to wherever you want if the mindset you possess is as if your life depended upon it.
Its easy to say and once you master this required conviction it becomes second nature.

What is the famous line, that life is based upon our intentions

I've always believed, that while thoughts create beliefs, and as a result a belief can be changed, a belief can turn into an intent.

Once it's an intent, that doesn't change. Once you moved your hand, that's it. it's moved. Can't go back
(if that makes sense)

Thanks for this good post

Intent is an excellent metaphor for projection. If you are simply curious about projecting, or if you're skeptical about being able to do it, it won't happen. Just the same I could be curious about traveling somewhere, think about "what it would be like" but until I intend to do it regardless of any obstacle...again it won't happen.
