I came into the program late – the first week was nearly over when I joined. I got to work right away to purchase materials asked for and to work furiously to catch up for the time I was out.

My progress was further hampered by a hurricane, for which I had to be evacuated from my home. I returned from the shelter the day before yesterday… and now I’m struggling with might and main to get back on track.

I came here knowing I need nothing less than a total life revolution. My current way of functioning is getting me nowhere. Up to know, I see that I’ve unconsciously chosen to be a victim of my comfort zone.

One very valuable lesson I learned was that I was putting the METHOD to accomplish something ahead of the INTENTION. This called up a memory of an offer for a multi-thousand-dollar program that would have been useful to me.

When I mentioned to the company representative that the bank would laugh her out of the office if we visited the bank together and tried to borrow the sum required, she encouraged me not to say, “I cannot afford the program”. Instead, she insisted that I say, “I CHOOSE not to enroll in the program”.

My first reaction was to think that the rep was out of integrity. I wondered: What esoteric capacities enabled her to read my bank balances that could justify her MAKING such a statement?

I remained with my belief in that representative’s absurd claim and lack of integrity… UNTIL I listened to Mark’s explanation that INTENTIONS matter much more than the METHOD. I saw that my current bank account was my METHOD, but I had thought it to be the incontrovertible LIMIT OF MY CAPACITY.

I see now that that company representative was not at all out of integrity or that far afield. She had a better understanding of the power of intention. I now see that I was actually “choosing” not to go with that program by my DEFAULT functioning of not realizing the possibility – and the power – of my intention.

I am now learning that my INTENTION can create a new set of capacities that I hadn’t dreamed that existed. I’m excited to learn more and become able to rise above my current methods.
