[silk underwear boy]

Haha... prior to registering for this forum, I was watching a Jean-Claude Van Damme movie called "double impact." One of the characters in the movie was dubbed "silk underwear boy." It was the first name that came to mind, so I decided to stick with it.

Universal intent. When we think about cave men or even the jungle, there is a sense (since we are on the subject of self-consciousness) that things prior to modern man were in some kind of chaos. I'm not saying this reflects the mentality of you or me, but the general consesus of mankind, indeed, perceives balance in a different light, because man has adopted the responsibility of attempting to "restore order" reflecting his own description of 'right' and 'wrong.' When confronted by truth, one will come to the realization this its actually the other way around. "Modern man" introduced chaos to a world that was already in harmony balance. I can't imagine a cave man committing suicide, or hanging out in the poppy fields becoming addicted to opiates. Modern man also has no real methods of population control because we have milked our emotional selves beyond the "instinct." This becomes a double edged sword, because any real method of population control will unfortunately be considered mass genocide, but if we keep increasing at this rate, the planet will continue to suffer.

So, I don't think man is "consciously" being disobedient to a universal intent. I understand what you mean by saying that man indeed has self-consciousness and perhaps this is the will of spirit - to use man as a tool in some way. To me that reflects the same religious zeal that is expressed in Christianity or any major religion. That is just another way of saying that God's favor man, no? I'm certainly not against any religion, and I will certainly admit that there is a possibility that you are correct about that. I think the only way someone can consciously disobey universal intent, is by abusing power.

But, Universal Intent, to me, is an expression of that original order, without the introduction of chaos. It is the expression of heart more so than the brain. What I mean by obeying intent is simply following the signs of spirit. Carlos spoke on various occasions of having "appointments" with knowledge. Don Juan would say "knowledge is prowling around out there right now and we are going to confront it." I'm really into the science of Symbiot Association (Les Symbiotes) - and ultimately I find expressions of the totality of assimilation in the world of sorcery. Universal intent operates, and the natural order of harmony, and essentially the descriptions of the Tao Te Ching, are the emanations that we perceive as the expression. Seers can see past that expression and view the patterns of intent (energy) directly and act according to those patterns. Patterns, order, harmony, balance, yin-yan, assimilation.

I think that is where one finds the totality of spirit.
