“Setting your Intent to do your best in the life circumstances you came into and created is one of the quickest ways to liberation.”
Harnessing the power of Intent is one of the most effective strategies to help you accelerate in your growth path. Spiritual Mastery is a life that is in alignment with Intent. A life that is in alignment with Intent implies that your thoughts, feelings and actions are in harmony with your Intent. Intent is a strong energy that penetrates into all of Creation. It is discussed in various forms of religions as well as growth paths. For instance, the early Toltecs talked about the Intent of the Nagual. With Christianity, the Creator’s Intent is carried by the Holy Spirit. Through utilizing and aligning with the Intent, the force of Intent becomes available for us so we can enhance our individual growth and spiritual development.
Intent is made up of two elements: will and purpose. Will is an energy that comes from outside of the Dreamer or Soul. The whole of creation has will. For instance, each and every living creature has the will to live. Will is the gift that sustains our bodily functions – inhaling air, pumping blood and keeping itself healthy and balanced. Our body naturally carries this out without our intervention or interruption. With just the mind, it would be difficult to control all the functions that the body performs.
As human beings, all of us are also gifted with free will to make decisions or choices. Right after a particular point, healing, growing and spiritually evolving do not take place spontaneously. Each of us has to decide to attain them. We need to involve our will as well as our purpose and Intent to make these things possible.
Purpose is how you direct your will. For example, you can ask yourself, ‘What is the purpose, what do I wish to be or have happen? Combine purpose with will and you have Intent. Set your Intent and you will have dominion over self and your life. Then, hang onto your hat as your life transforms in amazing ways.
In this video I am discussing a fun topic – that which Toltecs call ‘seeing’.
Seeing is the ability to perceive what is without limitations to space and time. This is very useful when working with a Toltec teacher as a teacher that can ‘see’ is able to see energetic probabilities that are coming your way so that you can do what you need to do to prepare
for them. This can speed up your path immensely.
Seeing is a by-product of diligently walking the Toltec Path. In the books by the late Carlos Castaneda’s seeing is a frequent subject of conversation with don Juan. A Nagual’s ability to see is often perceived as an amazing ability by the apprentices, and from the perspective of the average person, indeed it is. However, seeing is a natural by-product of diligently following a path such as the Toltec.
I am intentionally using the word ‘by-product’ as a common mistake of people on the Toltec path is to pursue seeing as an end in and of
itself. And, by doing so, they bypass the very work that enables one to see. It is through the cleaning, clearing, healing and strengthening the human tonal, and by raising one’s frequency that the capacity to see manifests.
Seeing is a wonderful ability to have. In the video I mention how it has helped me, even in the stock market. But, again, it isn’t the goal of the Toltec path in and of itself. The goal of the Toltec Path is to grow, evolve and empower the self that you are. Seeing is a fantastic by-product of the journey.
In the next couple of days, I will be sending you another video containing more knowledge on the Toltec Path.

“Setting your Intent to do your best in the life circumstances you came into and created is one of the quickest ways to liberation.”
One of the quickest ways to speed up your growth path is to harness the power of Intent. Spiritual Mastery is living in alignment to Intent. Living in alignment to Intent means your thoughts, feelings and actions are in accord to your Intent.
Intent is a powerful force that permeates all of Creation. It is spoken of in different forms of religions and growth paths. Ancient Toltecs speak of the Intent of the Nagual, for example. In Christianity the Intent of the Creator is held by the Holy Spirit. By tapping into and aligning to Intent, the power of Intent becomes available to us to speed up our personal growth and spiritual evolution.
What is Intent? Intent consists of two things – will and purpose. Will is a force that originates beyond the Soul or Dreamer. All of creation contains will. All living things have the will to live, for example. It is the gift of will that keep our bodies functioning – breathing, pumping blood and keeping itself healthy. The body does this naturally without our interference. Mentally, it would be impossible to keep track of all the functions the body does.
As humans, we are also given the free will to make choices. After a certain point, healing, growing and spiritually evolving does not occur naturally. We must choose to make it happen. We must engage our will along with our purpose and Intend to make it happen.
When people begin a spiritual path, too often they begin with the wrong Intent. Many begin a spiritual path in hopes it will relieve their pain, for example. It is true that a spiritual path leads to the ultimate freedom. Part of this freedom is the freedom from pain and suffering. However, the path to ultimate freedom inevitably has painful experiences on its way. To heal is sometimes painful. Often it is the very pain of healing that is the catharsis for spiritual growth. Choosing to move through the pain instead of trying to avoid it will lead to rapid growth.
If your sole Intent is relief from pain, you will continually try to avoid painful experiences and making healing impossible. Healing is a prerequisite for a true spiritual path. We must, at least to a substantial degree, have healed self in order to live the Divine in our daily lives. If your Intent is in its proper place – to grow and evolve spiritually, you will be more willing to go through the pain sometimes necessary to heal and grow. This doesn’t mean that a spiritual path is all about pain. It is not. There are both painful and blissful experiences as you advance on your path. Moreover, as you heal, grow and evolve you become free from emotional wounding and the pains of life.
Others embark on a spiritual path to avoid life. They don’t want to deal with making money, relationships and daily living. This too is the wrong Intent. One trait of a spiritual master is that they have dominion over self and life. Dominion is not the same as domination. What good is it if you are not able to manifest and live your spirituality in your daily life? A spiritual master has personal power. Along with personal power comes abundance and the ability to have a positive impact on the people and life around them.
Life is the playing field for developing personal power. If you find yourself avoiding people and life, you are slowing down your spiritual growth. There is a reason why you came into body – why you came into this life. If you avoid life, people and the world around you, you are not fulfilling your purpose. You cannot fully heal in solitude. You can never empower yourself around people if you avoid being near them. You will not be able to manifest your hopes, dreams and desires in life if you avoid life.
Realizing that you came into this body for a reason, that you were born to the parents you were for a reason, that you were born into the society you were for a reason, and that you were born into this timeframe for a reason, is important. Setting your Intent to do your best in the life circumstances you came into and created is one of the quickest ways to liberation. Set your Intent to embrace your life every moment of every day and you will soon find your life purpose.
Take the time to honestly look at your Intent. Refine it and remember it as you live life. As you align your daily Intent, to the bigger Intent of why you came into this lifetime, which will be aligned to the Intent of the Nagual or Creation, you have the power of heaven and earth behind you.
Each and every morning, before you start your day, find your Intent for that day. What is it you wish to heal, grow, or strengthen in self? To the best degree you are able, find your bigger purpose for coming into body, and set your Intent to align to that purpose as you live your day. As you do this consistently, you will strengthen your will and begin to harness the infinite power of Intent. You will find self and your life begin to transform in miraculous ways.
According to the Toltec Path, success in life comes through the mastery of energy. A warrior always works energy with elegance. I define elegance here as using energy in the most efficient and artful way. At Toltec understands how energy works and the energetic laws of the Nagual. A warrior works with energetic laws instead of working against the laws, which is what the average person often does.
If you push someone what happens? Chances are they will push back. If you grab someone’s hand and pull them, what happens? They pull away from you. If someone is needy and is grasping at you for your love and attention, what do you do? Most people pull away. Grasping at something you want can actually stop you from having it. Repelling something you don’t want, can make it push at you even harder.
People grasp and repel in many arenas in life. They grasp at things they want. They grasp at receiving pleasure. They repel people and things they don’t like. What they don’t realize is that the constant grasping and repelling, not only creates the outcome they don’t want, but puts them in a lot of stress and drains their energy.
In personal development, grasping and repelling will stop you in your tracks. You can’ heal something you avoid looking at. If you avoid and deny that you have an alcohol problem, for example, the problem will persist, or get worse. It is only through shining the transformative light of awareness on something that it can heal and be integrated.
If you wish to manifest your hopes, dreams and desires and activate the Law of Attraction, the best state to do this in is being in the flow of life. You must allow what you desire to be, not grasp at it. Grasping at something implies that you don’t have it. If you don’t energetically have it first, you won’t have it in form.
When you allow both the good and the bad without grasping and repelling, you enter into the the powerful flow of the now moment that flows through self and all of life. You naturally move into a state of well being that is more aligned with your desires manifest, activating the Law of Attraction.
There is a powerful Japanese martial art form called Aikido. Ai means harmony. Ki means spirit. Do means ‘the way of’ or ‘the road to’. In other words, Aikido means ‘the way of harmonized spirit’. The key difference between Aikido and other martial arts is that you don’t repel or block a person attacking you, you flow with the punch or kick, using the energy of their momentum for yourself.
This is an example of an elegant use of energy and is what the Toltec warrior strives for every day.
Do this in your life and you will have more energy to manifest what you wish to manifest. Instead of resisting things you don’t like and pushing them away, simply allow them to flow through you and dissipate. This puts you in the universal flow of life as you move into living in the now moment.
Be aware of where you are grasping at things in life. Imagine having your desires manifest. Grow the sensation of your desires manifest in your inner world. Do this without grasping at them and you allow them to move from being to having. Grasping prevents the having. For example, if you wish more abundance in your life, imagine yourself being abundant. Imagine what you will buy, what you will do, and most importantly how good you will feel with your abundance. If you are grasping at it, it means you don’t yet have it. Let the grasping go and have it in your inner world (your thoughts, feelings and imagination). As you do this you open the door to having it in your outer world as well.
Living in the Flow has other advantages. One obvious one is that when you are not repelling or grasping at things in life, you have more energy, and less stress. You are more relaxed and because of this are able to get more done in less time. One can only surmise that living a relaxed, stress free life with more energy would be better for your health and longevity.
Want to increase your well-being and more powerfully activate the Law of Attraction in your life? Be aware of where you grasp and repel in your life. Consciously let the grasping and repelling go. Allow whatever is to be. As you do so, you begin to live in the Flow where all good things reside.
“Setting your Intent to do your best in the life circumstances you came into and created is one of the quickest ways to liberation.”
One of the greatest ways to speed up your growth path is to employ the power of Intent. Spiritual Mastery is living in alignment to Intent. Living in alignment to Intent means your thoughts, feelings and actions are in accord to your Intent. As the above quote says, similar to “Do Your Best” in The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz, simply setting your Intent to do your best you can speed up your path to the Ultimate Freedom.
