Conflicts are intimately known once they get volatile. Many conflicts are between people who care about each other, and all too often the occurrence of a conflict is, on its own, the basis of another conflict. Devastation and tragedy are defined by their loss and sorrow, and on the personal level there is no denying upset, occurring conflict, and the reality of unfavorable outcomes. If you have an experience of bad outcome, then there is a definite responsibility at play. It is a conscious act to hold onto an intent, but often the act is not made consciously.
Why does the Unity of Intention and Flow help?
Unifying Intention and Flow parallels the story of “Sysyphus” in which a man upsets a God and is forced to push a heavy rock up a hill forever, only to watch it roll down the hill again. Negotiating reality around intention is a power move that often results in resistance and distrust. It’s capable of protecting your sense of self-importance, and drive conversation and reality toward your goal. Clarifying intentions, declaring focus, and steady awareness of the way flows can fluctuate brings a sense of complete responsibility to me, when I remember to seek the Unity of Intention and Flow. Having the meta goal of learning clarifies this for me and lessens despondence and pain. When all parties are committed to learning, a chance for true magic, connection and creativity happens. Sometimes, too often, that goal isn’t shared.
