A Mystic Speaks on Setting Intentions
Ernest Holmes
from The Science of Mind
One of the most important things for us to remember is that we are always causing something to be created for us. And that whatever
cause we have set in motion must produce some kind of effect. Are we producing the effects we should like to experience? The creative process will go on willy nilly. We cannot beat Nature at her own games for we are some part of the game She is playing. Shall the result, in our lives, be a comedy or a tragedy? We are given the Will to decide the issue.
We should carefully consider whether we are willing to experience the results of our thoughts. There should never be any hurt in them, for ourselves or for anyone else. We may be sure that if there is hurt for others there must also be hurt for ourselves. As we sow, so we must reap, but here is no real limitation, for the Creative Life wishes us to have all that we can use. If we keep our thought fixed upon the idea that this Energy, which is also Intelligence, is now taking the form of some desire in our lives, then it will begin to take this form. If we change the desire then It will change the form. Therefore, there must be a definite purpose in our imagination.
We are so One with the Whole that what is true of It is also true of us. We are one with unmanifest Substance whose business it is to forever take form and we are one with the Law which gives form. The entire order is one of spontaneous being and spontaneous manifestation. The Law follows the word just as the word follows the desire. The desire arises from the necessity of the Universe to become self-expressed.
