Intentions Are Not Everything
Have you ever stepped into your car and thought, “Today is the day that I want to be rear ended!” No? No big surprise there. People also don’t make their way down the sidewalk entertaining the notion, “What a fine day to be robbed.” Accidents happen, and thieves don’t care about your intentions.
What brings me to this cheery topic? A double feature of two terrible interviews that I recently watched — Gabby Bernstein interviewing Tyler Henry and Jay Shetty interviewing Laura Lynn Jackson. The talking point was raised in both of them that intention is everything in the psychic and mediumship landscape. Set the right intentions, and all will be right as rain. Intention is everything.
Let me be clear — it is not.
Intention is a solid place to start. But know what? Evil does not care about your intentions. What’s worse is that if you think you’re protected because some celebrity psychic told you that all you need is a solid set of intentions and a cheery attitude, you won’t even see the evil coming. Your guard is down. You’re caught unaware.
If this were a home, you could have all the latest precautions in place. Floodlights illuminate the driveway and the entrances. Guard dogs patrol the grounds. Sensors alert a security company when doors and windows open. Valuables are locked away in a private safe. Despite all of that, you can still be robbed.
Two of my favorite cat burglars illustrate this point.
The ever charming Cary Grant can sneak in and out of spaces snagging the rarest of jewels as John Robie in To Catch a Thief, and in Absolute Power, Luther Whitney, played by Clint Eastwood, proves that even the mansion of the President’s mistress is fair game with the right set of skills.
Now, these gents aren’t out to harm anyone, but imagine if they were. They’re capable of bypassing all of the protection put in place. In other words, the intentions don’t matter. Those who want access will find a way, ignoring any rules or laws they perceive as obstacles.
