Recent scientific research has demonstrated that the world is not static, and the forces of human intention and perception influence reality as much as geophysical and cosmological forces do. What does this mean in the spiritual realm? It corroborates the sayings that "energy follows your intentions" and "you can intentionally create your reality."

"Perception" is a creative force, empowered through visualization, knowing, and intention. "Visualization" is a way to use imagination to gain intuitive insight, with imagery serving as the language of intuition. "Knowing" provides the insight to see through the filtering screen of thoughts, images, and feelings to the formless context of knowledge.

"Intention" is a deliberate decision to create. It is premeditated; it is planned. Intention is not a fleeting thought. It is not a wish, hope, or worry. It is a decision, made with purpose, to produce something. It is a force unto itself. When your awareness is focused during intentional meditation practice, you are operating from a place of fluidity, effectiveness, and calm assurance. You are truly smarter because you generate a state of mind in which your intellectual analysis of a situation is combined with acute sensory perception and creative intuition.

The alchemy of spirit is in a state of rapid expansion. Through eons of development, we have evolved human bodies that now include the subtle system of energy anatomy. Human evolution is characterized and limited by the penetration of spirit into dense body matter. Spirituality is defined as the feelings, thoughts, experiences, and behaviors that arise from a search for that which is generally considered sacred or holy.

Spirituality is usually, though not universally, considered to involve a sense of connection with an absolute, immanent, or transcendent spiritual force, however named, as well as the conviction that meaning, value, direction, and purpose are valid aspects of the universe.

Consciousness is the capacity to react to, attend to, and be aware of self and other. Consciousness subsumes all categories of experience, including perception, cognition, intuition, instinct, will, and emotion, at all levels. The more spirit that is present in body matter, the higher is the consciousness of the entity. The entity applies that consciousness, through its focused intentionality, in the various acts of daily life. Through the practice of intentional meditation, transformational changes occur in both the body and spirit.

Meditation practice alters your vision, both physically and spiritually. Ocular vision requires more than a functioning physical organ (the eyes). Without an inner light, we are blind. As Arthur Zajonc says, "The light of the mind must flow into and marry with the light of nature to bring forth a world" -- a world that becomes our reality. So it is with all of our five physical senses. Whatever our current reality is, and whatever meaning we attribute to it, it can be altered by changing the focus of our attention and intention, thereby changing our life.

Begin to notice how your friends, co-workers and family respond to you when you are intentionally affirming positive and loving thoughts. This is the power of human alchemy in real life. To illustrate this point here is a story from a thirty-year-old second-year Intuition Medicine practitioner who had a dramatic experience when intentionally expanding his aura. At 5 feet tall and 120 pounds, he is a small-statured Cirque du Soleil performer, but he has a huge, charismatic aura. Here is his power of intention story:

In 2002, I was meditating before a show for the NBA Sacramento Kings' opening season. I set my intention to expand my aura to touch the capacity crowd of fans in Arco Arena. After the show, the promoters told me that they had never seen anything transpire between an audience and a performer like they had just witnessed. All the fans in the stadium were silent during my act, and when I took my final bow at the end, the silence broke into screaming pandemonium. I couldn't believe that I had expanded my aura; I really did feel like I touched all of the 17,613 fans in the audience.

Intention coupled with meditation practice moves us to encompass expanded vistas of reality. During meditation practice, many people begin to experience light within. This seems to be the seed kernel that brings light to and develops the energy body into a more advanced organ, which begins to perceive and thus interact with reality beyond the physical world. With practice, sensitivity to the intuitive world develops. We are each living transformation systems. We are truly spiritualizing matter.

Intuitive perception has heightened in relationship to the morphological changes in our human systems. Those of us who are attuned to spiritual alchemy find in the evolving nature of spirit within matter an invitation to communicate to a larger audience about the mystical nature of human beings -- aspects of ourselves that have mostly been shared in secret societies and codified in symbols. It is time for initiation into the birthright of the language of intuition. Intention Meditation practice is the initiation ritual. Spiritual wisdom is found in the quiet, still "now" of meditation. Your human alchemy is the power to create your own reality with intention.
