Tony Burroughs: The Art of Intending
About the future: as we tell new Intenders, the sky is the limit. What we’ve found over the last 18 years of consciously manifesting in our groups is that the Intenders Circle is a blueprint for conscious community in the new paradigm, a paradigm that we’re stepping into as we speak. Our 8 step format is tried and true; there’s no need to reinvent the wheel. Indeed, one of the best things about our Intenders Circle format is its flexibility. There really aren’t any rules. You can name your Circle anything you want (The Sunday Evening Garden Club, The Springfield Circle of Friends, etc.) and you can run your Circle anyway you like. For instance, if your group doesn’t want to share food in a potluck before the meeting, that’s okay. Or if you want to leave out the “toning” at the end of the evening, that’s okay too. (Of course, we’ve found that the “toning” sets the stage for a feeling of Oneness to present Itself, and we wouldn’t miss that part for the world.) But, again, you can facilitate your Circle however you like. The main thing is that you share your Intentions and Gratitudes with everyone else – and be open to receive from both expected as well as unexpected sources after that.
This coming year, with a little help from our friends, we will be setting up Intenders Circles online with Skype and other possible venues. Our intention is that hundreds of new Intenders Circles originate online in the days ahead and that these Circles take us one step closer to reaching a critical mass/tipping point whereby we all experience the sweet feeling of Oneness with all things.
We will also be continuing to add more Visions to our popular Vision Alignment Project throughout the next year. We started “The VAP” two years ago when I was awakened from a dream with a “download” that told me to create a new website, call it The Vision Alignment Project, and write my Visions for my ideal world – just a paragraph or two on every subject from the more humane treatment of the animals to bringing the Highest Good into the business arena. Nowadays there are over 300 Visions written that you can receive free in your daily email – and after each Vision is a large green
