Setting a true spiritual intention is the first step in developing the power of attention, the instrument of Will at all levels of creation. Seeing that you can't keep an interior intention is the only way to dispel the illusion that, as you are, you possess a will of your own. Realizing the truth of your actual situation stirs and strengthens the wish to develop a will of your own. Slowly your wish and inner work to sustain your attention grows into the will to be able to do so.

Key Lesson
Exercise
Work to see and catch one inclination in yourself -- such as the tendency to rush, act from self-importance, or be apologetic. Set an intention for just 24 hours to not do this one thing you always do, so that you can start to become aware of when you are under a lower will that you did not authorize. The path to a higher will is in direct proportion to your awareness of your present condition. See the necessity of going into moments already present to the nature that you know is going to appear. Gradually you will learn that setting an intention reveals that you don't have a proper kind of will...yet. Agreeing to use your attention for the purpose of seeing this fact strengthens your spiritual intentions.
