Intention and the Cooperative Universe

A new discipline has emerged this century, the study of Intention. It's often discussed as the Attraction Principle which asserts we attract into our lives those things we dwell on. Examples include if our thoughts are about physical ailments, or poor finances, or an unsatisfactory performance, we will attract poor health, lack of funds, and below standard performances. Alternatively if we genuinely intend good health, abundant finances, and superior performance, these will be what is attracted to us. By itself, the Attraction Principle might be just a sophisticated form of self-delusion; however, in literature such as The Field by Lynne McTaggart evidence is being assembled from advances in quantum physics that provide a scientific basis for its validity.

There is a strange outcome to the Heisenberg Uncertainty measurement problem that results in energy remaining after temperatures reach absolute zero. I was taught absolute zero meant no atomic motion and therefore no energy and scientists of the last century "normalized" their calculations by simply subtracting this away as "background noise". This may have been an over-simplification. When some physicists keep this energy, now called the Zero Point Field (ZPF), in their equations, it appears the discrepancies between classic and quantum physics are resolved. After further study, it appears the ZPF may be a source of abundant, ever-present energy our advancing civilization will surely require. One estimate is that the ZPF energy in one cubic meter of "empty" space would be sufficient to boil all the oceans on our planet. For Stargate Atlantis fans, this is the energy source behind their Zero Point Modules (ZPMs).

This ever-present field appears to be influenced by everything within it and in turns is an influence on everything in the universe. Scientists are now trying to study how one or more individual's Intentions can be "transmitted" through the ZPF. In many of these studies, the universe responds to the changes in the ZPF and appears to cooperate with the Intention.

The science of Intention does not fit well with mainstream paradigms and is currently relegated to the fringes of the scientific community. Yet the research continues and evidence that the universe cooperates with deeply held Intentions continues to accumulate. The research itself has been attractive to physicists, theologians, philosophers, healers, the military, and many others. It ought to be of interest to the Active Investor as well.

The forces around us shape our destinies, yet from this research we learn that we also shape those very forces. Since we see Intention also has all the characteristics of a force to build lasting value, it's repetitive, powerful, and gentle. The Active Investor should be a student in learning to harnessing its potential.
