A Portrait Of A Person
Connected To The Field Of Intention
by Wayne Dyer
 

Self-actualizing people must be what they can be.

Abraham Maslow

A person who lives in a state of unity with the Source of all life doesn’t look any different from ordinary folks. These people don’t wear a halo or dress in special garments that announce their godlike qualities. But when you notice that they go through life as the lucky ones who seem to get all the breaks and when you begin to talk to them, you realize how distinctive they are compared to people living at ordinary levels of awareness. Spend a few moments in conversation with these people who are connected to the power of intention and you see how unique they are.

These people, whom I call connectors to signify their harmonious connection with the field of intention, are individuals who have made themselves available for success. It’s impossible to get them to be pessimistic about achieving what they desire in their lives. Rather than using language that indicates that their desires may not materialize, they speak from an inner conviction that communicates their profound and simple knowing that the universal Source supplies everything.

They don’t say, “With my luck things won’t work out.” Instead, you’re much more likely to hear something like, “I intend to create this and I know it will work out.” No matter how you might attempt to dissuade them by pointing out all the reasons why their optimism ought to be curtailed, they seem blissfully blind to reality-check repercussions. It’s almost as if they’re in a different world, a world in which they can’t hear the reasons why things won’t work out.

If you engage them in conversation about this idea, they simply say something like, I refuse to think about what can’t happen, because I’ll attract exactly what I think about, so I only think about what I know will happen. It doesn’t matter to them what’s happened before. They don’t relate to the concepts of failure or it’s impossible. They simply, without fanfare, are unaffected by reasons for being pessimistic. They’ve made themselves available for success and they know and trust in an invisible force that’s all-providing. They’re so well connected to the all-providing Source that it’s as if they have a natural aura preventing anything from getting through that might weaken their connection to the creative energy of the power of intention.

Connectors don’t place their thoughts on what they don’t want, because, as they’ll tell you, The Source of all can only respond with what it is and what it is, is infinite supply. It can’t relate to scarcity or things not working out, because it’s none of these things. If I say to the Source of all things, “It probably won’t work out,” I’ll receive back from it precisely what I sent to it, so I know better than to think anything other than what my Source is.

To the average person who has fears about the future, this all sounds like mumbo jumbo. They’ll tell their connector friend to do a reality check and look realistically at the world they live in. But connectors aren’t distracted from their inner knowing. They’ll tell you, if you choose to listen, that this is a universe of energy and attraction and that the reason so many people live lives of fear and scarcity is because they rely on their ego to fulfill their desires. It’s simple, they’ll tell you. Just reconnect to your Source and be like your Source and your intentions will match up perfectly with the all-providing Source.

To connectors, it all seems so simple. Keep your thoughts on what you intend to create. Stay consistently matched up with the field of intention and then watch for the clues that what you’re summoning from the all-creative Source is arriving in your life. To a connector, there are simply no accidents. They perceive seemingly insignificant events as being orchestrated in perfect harmony. They believe in synchronicity and aren’t surprised when the perfect person for a situation appears or when someone they’ve been thinking about calls out of the blue or when a book arrives unexpectedly in the mail giving them the information they needed or when the money to finance a project they’ve been intending mysteriously shows up.

Connectors won’t attempt to win you over to their point of view with debates. They know better than to place a lot of energy on arguing or being frustrated, because that attracts argumentation and frustration into their lives. They know what they know and they aren’t seduced into constructing a counterforce of resistance to people who live otherwise. They accept the idea that there are no accidents in a universe that has an invisible force of energy as its Source that continuously creates and provides an infinite supply to all who wish to partake of it. They’ll tell you plain and simple if you inquire, “All you have to do to tap in to the power of intention is to be in a perfect match with the Source of everything and I’m choosing to be as closely aligned to that Source as I can.”

To connectors, everything that shows up in their life is there because the power of intention intended it there. So they’re always in a state of gratitude. They feel thankful for everything, even things that might seem to be obstacles. They have the ability and desire to see a temporary illness as a blessing and they know in their heart that somewhere an opportunity exists in the setback and that is what they look for in everything that shows up in their life. Through their thanks, they honor all possibilities, rather than asking their Source for something, because that seems to give power to what’s missing. They commune with the Source in a state of reverent gratitude for all that’s present in their lives, knowing that this empowers their intention to manifest precisely what they need.
