Let there be light.

And there was light.

Let there be life.

And there was life.

Intend something, let go, and it happens.

Okay, thats all you need to know. End of book.

Seriously, this is true. Once you intend your desire, Life leads you there. So, why isnt this a one-page book? I asked that question and one more to my Large Self as I began to write: What makes a persons power of intention stronger or weaker? The Presence downloaded the answers over time.

While youll explore a hundred profound new ways to raise your awareness and build your power of intention in the pages of this book, its two main themes are:

• How to get your limiting self out of the way, keep it out of the way, and let more good in, and,
• How to shift your identify toward your Large, unlimited Self.

Once youve done both, your power of intention soars. This book also offered me an opportunity to share, all in one place, many of the new downloads that have come since I wrote Things Are Going Great In My Absence.

As with all of Divine Openings, this is not workI had a fantastic time writing this book and youll enjoy feeling into it and putting it into practice. Two enormous regal red tail hawks are soaring together in circles just outside my window right now, always an auspicious sign that magic is happening.

Because Life is on our side, supports us, and brings everything we need, you may wonder why we would even need to intend or ask for anything? Why wouldnt we just relax, let The Divine decide what we need, and bring it to us?

Well, you can do that, and some people are content in that more passive role; but its your birthright to be an active Co-Creator with The Presence, if you choose to be. From your perspective as a unique human, you know precisely what youd like, because youre right in the thick of it in a physical body. The Presence appreciates your unique role in taking the Universe into new territories, new experiences, and new ideas that never existed before.

Using a business analogy, youre the human client telling the Universal supplier, your Large Self, what you want; the supplier is glad to know how to please you, and manufactures it. Good business people know that the client whos down there in the trenches daily darn well knows what he needs and wants, and that listening to the client is the best way to know what to produce on the clients behalf.

When I was a contract corporate trainer, I never offered canned programs, and companies appreciated that enormously. After first asking them about their needs, and learning what outcomes they wanted, I tailored every single program to that client. I considered us co-creators of the experience rather than assuming I knew exactly what they needed or wanted, even though I was the expert in training and development. They were the ones doing the jobs and taking the risks.

You and The Presence are Co-Creators. The Presence cares to know what each unique physical human wants, and is the best listener youll ever knowhearing, sensing, and feeling your intentions and desires before you ever speak them aloud.

Your wants and needs count. Your intentions are heard. Nowthe only question is: how can you let it in more easily and fully?

With your intentions, fueled by your desires, you participate actively in Creation.

If you just rolled along letting nature take its course like animals do, evolution would move more slowly, like it does in nature, where the stimulus for evolution is usually changes in environment or weather with a dollop of slow evolutionary impetus thrown in. Animals are not Conscious Creators like humans are. They dont say, I wish I had a house instead of living in this hole. Theyll live happily in a hole for millions of years. They dont say, I wish I had a happier relationship with my spouse. When you add human consciousness, desire, and creativity to the mix, you get rapid evolution.

There are pros and cons to the way the animals live. Any animal is happier than most humans, because they are always in the Flow of Life. They accept what is without mental suffering because they have no logical mind to create suffering by judging right or wrong, good or bad. Their lives are simple.

But they are not Conscious Creators. Animals have simple desires, and they feel, react, and respond by instinct without suffering over whether they get those desires met. I do believe animals are evolving to be more conscious, some species rapidly, but thats another subject.

There are pros and cons to the way we humans livewere not automatically in the Flow of Lifewe can choose to be or not. We have Free Will choices. Humans have much more complex desires, which can make us unhappy or happy, depending on our attitude about our desires.

We humans actively shape our environment more than animals do. If an animal feels an ice age coming on, it adapts to the environment and grows a fuller fur coat and a thicker fat layer over several generations. If a human feels the climate getting colder, he doesnt grow more hair, he learns to make fire and make fur coats. Later, he builds shelters, invents indoor heating systems and warmer fabrics. Due to our unique gifts of consciousness and creativity, humans can now evolve dramatically in one lifetime. Humans are creators and rapid evolvers in a way that animals are not.

Human evolution wasnt always as fast as it is now. Not so long ago, humans believed it was the gods, nature, or their kings and priests who controlled their fates. Some humans are becoming aware of how we create, and as that power and responsibility is claimed, we become Conscious Creators, embodying The Presence, aware of itself, on Earth.

Prehistoric people around the globe used the same oval-shaped stone hand tool to skin animals and cut the meat for over a million yearsthats almost zero evolutionary progressvery odd since their brains were growing larger. They made that tool instinctively, like birds build intricate nests. Then some Divine spark activated humanity, and a period of evolutionary momentum began. The changes were slow but speeded up steadily to todays exponential acceleration. Thereve been more revolutionary ideas and advances in just the last fifty years than in the past several thousand years, with stunning impact on our quality of life.

Whether you believe the Bible is a metaphor, a dusty, irrelevant text, or Gods literal truth, my interpretation of the story of God telling Adam and Eve they would have dominion over all the other creatures in the Garden Of Eden is this: humans were given the power to create reality, and the animals were not. The humans would rule. The moment the humans ate the apple they began their journey to consciousness, beginning with a new
