The Intenders of the Highest Good

The Intenders Bridge, Walk Across with Me

The Intenders of the Highest good started out as four friends supporting each other in creating better lives. Now, they inspire and guide people in working in Intenders Circles around the world.

Check out the Intenders web site at www.intenders.org. They have a free movie that explains who they are and what they do. You can also sign up for free daily emails, which I recommend you do.

If you want to start your own intenders circle, the web site has packets to get you started as well as suggested guidelines.

All material on the Intenders is shared with permission from Tony Burroughs, founder of the Intenders of the Highest Good.

One of the Best Intentions

I Love this One!

You know you need to learn patience
when things are coming to you at the last minute.

As we said earlier, things can come to you at the last minute. In fact, you know that you need to learn patience when things are coming to you at the last minute. There is an interesting story sent in recently by my friend Pat in Canada that exemplifies this all-too-common scenario. Pat received it from her good friend in Hawaii who is living close to the land.

Years ago, in an entrepreneurship class I was taking, there was a woman who wanted to establish an emu farm. She and her husband read all the books on emus, on gestation time, and at what moment the chicks would hatch. They had a whole bunch of eggs they were incubating. At one point they figured the babies should be emerging, and, thinking Nature had screwed up, took it upon themselves to crack the eggs and release the chicks. (I couldn't believe she actually told us this, I would have been so ashamed.) Needless to say, the baby emus ALL died. When you know that what you want is coming, don't interfere!!! That story still makes me shudder.

We in The Intenders have all had to deal with patience issues at one time or another, and the way we resolved them was to intend that we always have a "buffer zone" so that things come to us well before they were needed. Needless to say, we also had to learn to let go of our tendency to set time parameters and realize that the Universe often had different ideas about how long something was going to take than we did. But once we began to see our buffer zone intention work, our impatience lessened and we relaxed because we learned that everything is coming to us in its perfect, right timing.

My Intention for today is:
I Intend that I have a buffer zone so that things come to me well before they are needed.

All Things Bloom in their Perfect Season

From the Author of The Code, Tony Burroughs

I write this, not as one who is an advanced spiritual being or sage, but as someone who is just like you, going through the same trials and tribulations that life on Earth in the beginning of the new millennium presents to all of us. In truth, I am but a scribe who has been fortunate to come across the Ten Intents of The Code and who has had an opportunity begin to integrate these principles into my own life. I do not claim to have mastered them yet, however, I can tell you that they have made a tremendous difference in the way I deal with the world I live in.

For instance, in accordance with the First Intent - Support Life - I can no longer bring myself to take part in any conversation or activity that calls for violence as a viable solution to anybody's problems. In the past, I may have gotten fired up about one "Us versus Them" drama or another, but these never seemed to do anyone any good. Now, instead, I see the wisdom in taking a stand on behalf of All Life, and I will not lend my energy to supporting any institution that calls me to harm another. By integrating this Intent into my life, I find that I am not as popular as I used to be in some crowds, but something has shifted within me. I can live with myself easier. I like myself better. My conscience is awakening.

Many things like this have happened to me since I received The Code. In fact, the writing of these two books has been a magical process in itself. Just as soon as each Intent was fleshed out on paper, it also started expressing itself in real life as an experience that moved me forward. As an example, after I put the finishing touches on the Sixth Intent, I walked outside to take a break (I was caretaking a place in the Sierras, near Kings Canyon/Sequoia National Park at the time), and not one but three Eagles circled high overhead. I have never seen anything like it before or since. It let me know that I was doing the right thing; that I was doing what I came here to Earth to do. In the language of the Sixth Intent, it showed me I was Synchronized.

The Code is a very timely gift for those who are drawn to it. Amidst an ever-changing world that, for many, is becoming more stormy and uncomfortable by the day, it offers a new set of guidelines that will help us navigate through the choppy waters. These guidelines are designed to help us personally and, at the same time, to help our world. We are not called upon to "drop out", nor do we have to patch anything up. Instead, when we align with The Code, we allow that which is collapsing to go away of its own accord, while we concentrate our energies on creating something entirely new.

From my own experiences, I can tell you that that "something entirely new" is very expansive, very promising. It includes having a better world here on Earth to live in, as well as opening up to a whole host of other realms that are accessible to us from the inside. The Native American Elders who you'll read about in these books made it clear that their intent was for The Code to bring forth my highest potential and my greatest fulfillment. That is the Spirit with which they shared it with me.

And that is the Spirit with which I am sharing it with you.
My Intention for today is:
I Intend that I am saying The Code once a day
and seeing what happens as a result.

The Bridge

You are More Powerful than You Know

When you get a lot of people agreeing and envisioning the way things will be, then that's the way things will be. There is tremendous power in a group of people focused on a common objective. It works within a positive environment, such as in an Intenders Circle where everyone is holding a vision of everyone else's intentions being manifested; and it works just as easily within a negative atmosphere, such as when we're creating fearful weather conditions for ourselves.

You don't have to look very far to see that our weather is being tampered with. Those in power would have us believe that the weather is out of our control, that we are at the mercy of the storms and climatic changes, but this simply isn't so. In fact, it's just the opposite. It is we who create every aspect of our environment, including the weather. We've just forgotten about it.

So, here's a gentle reminder. Night after night, in homes all across the globe, the weathermen and women prance across the TV screen telling us what the weather is going to be like. Much in the same way that the drug companies create flus and sicknesses of all sorts by describing them and pulling flimsy "facts" out of thin air, the weather people describe the coming weather changes, and, if we believe them, we add to the creation of the bad weather.

Can you imagine the power in that? Millions of people holding the same thought is an awesome prospect in itself. And now, with all the satellite imagery graphics, the friendly weatherperson can even have us picturing large weather systems impacting whole parts of the planet. This is the point where we give up our power and hand it over to someone else. People everywhere either forget or simply don't realize that their thoughts are creating their world. They buy into the pictures they see on TV and waste no time telling everyone they run into that a storm is on the way.

That's how storms, flus, or any other mass events are orchestrated. And if that isn't enough, now the weather people have even created "seasons" for the storms and sicknesses in order to get us primed and ready to experience bad times. Is there anything we can do?

Yes. Two things. First, we can withhold our agreement every time someone tells us a storm is on the way by simply refusing to believe it. In that way, we are not adding to or reinforcing the event.

And second, we can become proactive by using the satellite images against themselves. Whenever we see the great masses busily creating a storm, we can become a Storm Steerer. Instead of believing that a hurricane, for instance, is going to follow the course described by the anxious weatherperson, we can use the wondrous lightworking tool we call our imagination, and, in our mind's eye, we can Steer the Storm out to sea, or see it dissipating into nothing before it has a chance to hit land.

Now . . . what if enough Storm Steerers pictured the storms going away? They would go away. I've seen huge tropical storms move away from The Big Island after 50 Intenders "intended" it. Can you imagine what would happen if thousands of people from all over the globe became Storm Steerers? It would change everything, not just with the weather, but with the way we create our entire world.

Freedom. This was the teaching of the Native Americans. Surrounded by the blackness of night, they danced around the campfire, whooping, hollering, yelping. This was their show of freedom, in sounding it outwardly to the world, in sounding it into the vast silence that was all around them. They shouted fearlessly into it. And the hills would reflect it back... It was like a miracle.
From The Intenders of the Highest Good

My Intention for today is:
I Intend that I am refraining from buying into any media hype surrounding mass events, and that I am only envisioning positive outcomes for the Earth and her people.

Abundance is Natural!

We are all meant to live in abundance. In fact, abundance is the very nature of the universe.

Only our beliefs about it prevent us from experiencing abundance. The universe, and this life, is designed to support our every need, perfectly.

Let's Talk About Money

Ask, and You Shall Receive

We felt that the following recent message from Lee Ching is so timely that we decided to repeat it here for you now. We intend that it serves you well.
Each and every person is qualified to have riches. At this time, conscious people, in particular, are opening to their abundance so that the world can be in a better position, and so that the wealth will be shared and there will be much to spare for everyone who needs it. You can do several things to facilitate this process.

First, you will need to open your hearts and your minds to the possibility that you are a divine bringer of money into any situation where it is needed. Be open for magic and miracles and ways of getting money that you never even thought of. For this to happen, you must begin to look within your own being and search out any blocks to your good. One of these places is in your language. You must be very, very astute with your languaging. You must always speak in a positive manner about money. If you're looking at a rich man and putting him down for his riches, that is a block to your own divine good. Likewise, if you have a block about a given amount - if you are thinking small - then you will be given what you ask for. If you start by asking to expand your ability to receive, to expand your ability to open to larger and larger amounts of money, knowing that you are capable and willing to care and use this money wisely, then, you will open to more and more riches being given to you for your work and for your being. It is not only through your work that this money will come, although it is very important to do that which you are here to do. Do what you love and money will come from every direction. Known and unknown sources will open their hands, their minds, and their flow will come to you.

You can also bless the money you already have. To do this you can put a portion of your cash money on a Divine Altar surrounded by Beings that you love and respect. Say to your Divine Beings and to your money, "I love you. I thank you. I trust you. I enjoy you. And I respect you." These words go out and focus the energy on your finances. It is that simple. You are blessing your money. You are trusting that you will use it in the right way when you receive it. And, you're respectful of the money and where it is coming from. Divine energy is multiplying your money right now - multiplying it in many ways to give you more and more money to use for the betterment of mankind. Open to this possibility. Open to the generous flow coming to you from places known and unknown. Bless your money and be grateful for what you have. Give thanks for the money that you have, even if it is one dollar. For, as you are thankful for that one dollar, it will multiply, and zeroes will be added. Many zeroes, and many commas . . .

Another way to step into your financial abundance is by consciously flowing your money to each other, through the act of tithing, as you have read in the Bible. In this way you flow it to people and places who provide you with your spiritual food. These things are like voting with your money. You are acknowledging your abundance by being open and willing to share your money with those who are giving their gifts to you. Whether it is in the form of work or in the form of spiritual awareness - whatever it might be - as you open to give your money freely, you cause trust to come into your life. When you trust that your money will always be there for you when you need it, then you will be more open and willing to flow your money to others when they are in need, or when they have shared their highest gifts with you.

Remember your gifts. When you give freely of your gifts you will be highly rewarded in every way imaginable. Then all you have to do is ask for what you want. Open for what you deserve. Be a willing and ready receiver for high gifts. Gifts from the Universe. Magical gifts. Miraculous gifts . . .

My Intention for today is:

I Intend that I am a Divine Bringer of money into any situation where it is needed.

We are Creators

Life - It's Your Creation

You can have anything and everything
you could possibly dream of -
even a whole new world to live in.

Our desires help us set our course in life. The second reference point with which we started The Intenders was that our desires are in us to be fulfilled. Our guidance told us early on that we came into this lifetime with a certain set of desires and the way for us to know that we are evolving to our highest potential is by either transcending or fulfilling our desires. If we were born in an eastern culture, where spiritual pursuits are honored more, we might go into a monastic cell and spend anywhere from 20 minutes to 20 years meditating and transmuting our desires in order to get to what the Buddhists call a state of desirelessness. But in our western world where consumerism is king and we've been barraged by advertising since day one, we are probably best off to learn how to fulfill our desires. That's where The Intention Process comes in. We can learn to manifest our desires one at a time until there aren't any more of them.

It's interesting that in the west we have been taught to sweep our desires under the rug; that there's something wrong with us if we have desires. The Intenders teachings remind us, however, that the word De-Sire comes from the Latin meaning "of the Father," and that there is a sacred aspect to our desires. All we need to do to evolve and to empower ourselves at the same time is become more proficient at fulfilling them.

"When I arrived at my first Intenders Circle, I was homeless. I'd been trying to find a way to scrape up enough money to rent a small place, but things just weren't working out for me. I was getting desperate!
"My friends who took me to the Intenders Circle told me not to hold back. They said that, at an Intenders Circle, "the sky's the limit," and that I should ask for my heart's desire. I made an intention to find a place of my own where I would be very, very happy - and I asked that it come to me freely and easily.
"It wasn't two days later and a lady who had been at the meeting called me and said she was going abroad for at least three years. She'd thought about selling her house, but it was such a lovely custom home, right down by the beach, that she couldn't bring herself to part with it. Maybe she'd be back someday, but, in the meantime, would I be interested in caretaking it for free?"
Karen Reid

My Intention for today is:
I intend that I am looking within to see what would give me the most joy, and then I am consciously creating it.

This is the True Seat of Power

Be the Example

Live Your Truth

Speak Freely and Know Safety
The law that our thoughts create our experiences is not just a law unto each isolated individual. It is just as applicable to our beliefs as a whole. When individuals begin to create a new, peaceful world, so will the human race, as a whole, create a paradise on Earth. In other words, when we all see that we can have the world we desire just by thinking that we can, it will manifest for us.

And then, there's also the icing on the cake. It can happen fast. It can happen in our lifetimes. We need not think that we are just making things better for future generations. We are also making things better for ourselves. It can start with the smallest spark, and, as quick as a wink, it can spread around the entire globe.

It only takes for each of us to start to see everyone else in their highest light ... even the international bankers and power brokers who have used deceit and fear and all things horrid in order to maintain control over us. We so often forget that each man, no matter how bad we think he is, does indeed, without exception, have a shining Spirit deep down inside. To remember this and to act accordingly is the challenge of mankind today. For some reason - perhaps the desire of some to dominate others - we have overlooked our ability to see the good side of every man. We don't notice him in his highest light. We don't see him standing up for the Highest Good. And if we don't see him standing up for the Highest Good, he won't. He'll continue to ride roughshod over us as he pleases. But it is when we begin to see every man, even our enemies whom we have called "the bad guys" in the past, as standing up for the Highest Good, they will sooner or later reflect our expectations of them and step into their highest calling.

There is something deep within our inner nature that is called up when we are confronted by a man of principle, a man who speaks directly yet gently into the face of his friends and enemies alike, and doesn't back down. Something special happens in the psyche of the "bad guy" when he is confronted by someone who sets a noble example. It may be subtle at first, but after awhile, it will change him, just as when you keep chipping away large rock - eventually it turns into pebbles ... or a statue of great beauty.

His heart will soften and his mind will recognize the wisdom in becoming one with others. Walls of separation will dissolve as the "bad guy" begins to follow your example and seek for his own highest light inside himself. And when he looks, he will find a world that is better than the one where he spent all his energy trying to control everything and everyone around him. He'll experience a feeling of great joy that was not available to him as long as he persecuted others.
From The Intenders of the Highest Good, Volume 2 (Coming Soon)

And we'll all be much happier because, from then on, instead of continuing to deal with the challenges of how do we get along with each other, we can all start to work together on the challenges of how do we make our world as good as it can possibly be.

My Intention for today is:
I Intend that I am seeing everyone in their highest light.

What Blesses the Whole, Blesses the One

Join the Intending Awakening Project

I Did!

Intending Awakening Project

Empowerment & Enlightenment is hosting a project to assist in the conscious awakening of people all over the world.

The Intender's Circle is open to participation from anyone just by writing a short comment about what has helped you awaken to your truth. Then daily state the intention, "I intend that 10 more people are awakening to the truth of who they are."

The Intending Awakening blog provides updates to the project and shares the effect the project is having in the lives of the participants. Those who are participating have links to their sites posted here, as well.

The idea behind this project came from The Intenders of the Highest Good and the principle that what we wish for ourselves we should help others to attain. Call it Karma, "Do unto others...", or what goes around, comes around. The fact remains that the good we do for others comes back to us. When we put others first and do what we can to help them, we are blessed in many ways. Not only do we get the joy of knowing we helped another individual, we also draw to ourselves such good that we can hardly imagine.
Why is it important to remember who we really are? We can only create the lives we want to live and the world we want to experience from the truth of who we are. If we try to create from an illusiory or dysfunctional expression of ourselves then what we create will also have those qualities. Peace in the world comes from peace within. Wealth and abundance in the world comes from wealth and abundance within. Our own individual awakening in consciousness likewise supports and creates conscious awakening around the world.

It may sound like we have to fully awaken individually before we can help others do so. There is some truth to that, but we can also come from where we are right now. Find that part of you that has a sense of the divine, powerful, light being that you are. Even just a feeling of it is enough. Take the joy and love you feel with that and share it with others. From that place, truly desire for others to know that feeling, and more. The more you intend the conscious awakening of others, the more you will experience it in yourself. The more you experience it in yourself, the more you will be able to help others awaken.

I invite you to join us in the Intending Awakening Project. Let's all be amazed at what we have the power to do when we work together for the highest good for all. :)

The Intenders Handbook

The Intenders Handbook (a guide to the intention process and the conscious community)

by Tony Burroughs

Amazon Price: (as of 10/10/2008)

Nothing Good Ever Came from a Negative Emotion

Most people are unaware of the effects of their negative emotions. Not only do these emotions - anger, hatred, sorrow, self-pity, greed, worry, grief, and so forth - do us no good whatsoever in our lives, when expressed, they always make matters worse. Indeed, they are the chief contributor to the aging process, and if we would refrain, for a time, from indulging in them, our youth would begin to return and we would rejuvenate.

But these things are not taught in school. Instead, we've been taught to guard and protect our right to feel sorrowful, for instance. We feel grief over the parting or loss of a loved one, never realizing that nothing positive can ever come from our grief, that feeling bad is a lower manifestation that opens us up to all sorts of unwanted repercussions. We simply do not realize that grief, worry, sorrow, self-pity, etc. have the effect of weakening our body's immune system and aging us prematurely. If we truly knew how much we harm ourselves, not to mention others, when we act out our negative emotions, we would reevaluate our behavior immediately.

Our negative reactions have never had one positive effect on anyone, ever! Unfortunately, most people think, for example, that it's fine and dandy to hate others, and that if someone else does something hateful to us we are perfectly justified, even obligated, to hate or harm them back. The simple truth, however, is that not only do our negative emotions harm us personally, they actually make every situation worse because they feed the flames of our enemy's anger and make them want to retaliate all the more. Our negativity catches us in a vicious cycle from which there is only one way out.

The only way to defuse our arguments, hatreds, and wars is to love our opponents. Love removes the negative charge from our conflicts, leaving them to disappear and disintegrate due to lack of sustenance. The fires of hatred and war automatically die out when we stop feeding them.

BJ used to liken our negative emotional reactions to the way Velcro works. He said that when you look real close, Velcro has a whole bunch of tiny hooks that catch and hold fast to thousands of little eyes. He explained further that when someone else is angry and yelling at us, if we react it is because they hooked into our own fear and anger. But, if we are committed to loving them, it's like we've sanded or smoothed off all of the little eyes so there isn't any way for them to get their hooks in us. Our arguments would fade away because there is no negative reaction for someone else to grab onto. There is only love.
My Intention for today is:
I Intend that I am catching myself before expressing my next negative emotion and that I am acting out of love instead.

It IS My Choice!

We can choose What We Believe

We don't have to continue to believe what we were
taught when we were young

It's all in what we embrace. Those who embrace scarcity shall be subjected to it; those who embrace sickness shall experience its ill effects; those who embrace violence shall perish by it; but those who embrace Love and a caring Spirit shall be embraced by Love in return. What we put out is what we get back. If you find that you've been attracting challenges and discomfort into your life, you can start out by making an intention to be more gentle with yourself from now on.
Whenever you're feeling weak or feeling down, you can draw on the energy and power that comes from the spark that lives deep inside of you, the spark that animates your entire being. Call it up! If you need to sing, sing loudly. If you need to pray, pray loudly. If you need to tone, tone proudly. Do whatever it takes to lift your Spirit so you can look down and see your life, playing itself out. Then you, the person in charge, can watch and decide what is best for you.
From The Intenders of the Highest Good
Remember that when you lift yourself up, even in the slightest degree, the whole of Humanity is lifted up in the same measure. You lift all of Humanity up when you reach out for your greatest happiness. Who knows, maybe one day soon you'll cast aside a last lingering belief surrounding your scarcity, sickness, or suffering and, in that joyous moment of release, it will be just enough for the whole world to breach an ancient barrier and be lifted up to its next level of experience. So Be It!
My Intention for today is:
I Intend that I am embracing that which is uplifts me
and my fellow travelers.

The Code

The Intention Process

The Intention Process Information Sheet
(Reprinted from The Intenders Handbook)
Our thoughts create our experiences
Saying our intentions outloud focuses our thoughts
There is power in the spoken word
Positive thoughts bring positive experiences
Negative thoughts bring undesired experiences
It's important to trust and know that the things that we Intend are coming to us because doubt will interfere with the manifestation of our positive intentions
We always ask that in order for our intentions to come to us, they must serve the highest and best good for the Universe and the highest and best good for ourselves and others
As we go around the Circle, we express gratitude for intentions that have come to us and we state our new intentions
The power of the Intention Circle arises from everyone supporting everyone else's intentions
Clarity is important
We eliminate such words as trying, hoping, wanting, to be, and not
We say things in a positive way: for example, instead of I intend that I am not afraid anymore, we say I intend that I am courageous
We don't name sicknesses in our Circles; we see everyone in their Highest Light
We say our intentions daily, and we gather together once a week
We don't know when or how our intentions will manifest for us; we just know that they will!
We always end our intentions with our seven favorite words - So be it and so it is !

Share your knowledge. Make a difference.
