Awakening
our Values
Often we declare a desire to change with great
gusto and conviction, but find that within a few days
or weeks that enthusiasm has almost completely
dissipated. Why is this so? How can we sustain great
choices on a consistent path of growth and
development?
The core of the issue is that, although our
intentions are great, the way in which we use our
values to direct those intentions is unknowingly
subject to both individual and collective
conditioning; hence, the purest objectives are
misdirected by that hidden habituation.
evolutionary
pointer: Conditioned
values are sufficient for a successful material
life; however, they cannot guide an intention to
consistently express your full potential.
Intention is classically defined as the aim or
anticipated outcome of an action. Values are core
psychological structures by which all major decisions
are made and, as such, they greatly influence your
world. Your values guide your intentions to fruition.
Therefore, your intention to awaken your full
potential will be completely ineffective without a
supportive decision-making process. Though you mean
well, conditioned values and the way in which they are
arranged can't support or manifest a pure intention to
awaken your full potential. To sustain the conditions
for discovering and expressing your full potential,
your decision-making structures–your values–must
be capable of influencing and guiding a pure
intention.
By simply looking at your current life situations
you can uncover much evidence of what you value and of
what is important to you–you can determine what your
current values are by simply looking at the tangible
evidence for them in your life.
evolutionary
pointer:
Conditioned
values cannot
direct pure intentions, because conditioned
values and awakened
intentions are drawn to parallel outcomes.
The most humble of intentions would be to awaken
to authentic joy, also known as freedom.
