On Mentation 8/14/10

The twelve Intentions given are peculiar to your earth world. On other
worlds, there are other Intentions and some of these as well. And there are
cross-overs of Intentions within one incarnate. However, each incarnate has a
primary, or singular, Intention which that life is meant to fulfill.
The Intention of Mentation is an essential ingredient to the fulfillment of the
other Intentions in that it promotes growth, understanding and utilization of
assets. Without the great minds of your civilization, you would not have the
amenities you enjoy today. Your technologies, medical advantages, knowledge
of the physical laws that govern your earth’s existence and performance are all
results of the Mentation Intention. The importance of this Intention can be
witnessed by the fact that the really great minds of your civilization are so few
that they are known by personal name in most societies, appear in all history
records, and in some cases nearly deified.
This is meant to include not only those who seek to know and understand
everything that is outside your planet, those whose curiosity about the inner
working of your planet, those who study the behaviors of living things, but all who
have contributed to the growth and welfare of your civilization. This is not meant
to exclude the unknown workers who take such great thoughts, expand upon
them, record them, put them to use and are stimulated to ask even greater and
deeper questions about the meaning of life, its origins and its destiny.
Religious leaders have founded systems of belief that have sustained
generations in their search for peace, comfort and success. Economic geniuses
have established organizations of great influence leading to governments, new
nations, great communication devices and systems of exchange. Scientists
theorize about compositions, activities and the laws governing the universe as
well as those that govern your earth. Philosophers leave a heritage of morals,
ethics and other civilizing virtues that enable earth inhabitants to live together in
some degree of cooperation and community effort.
So where does the ordinary living being fit into this overall thrust? As you
have been told thoughts are real things, having a life of their own with
consequences to their actions. The private citizen who reads an article on a
scientific theory, a philosophical point of view, an economic breakthrough, or
education’s advancement and then gives some serious though to what has been
read contributes to the overall value of what the originating great mind has
brought forth. As individuals you in your own homes enjoy the technological
advances that make your life comfortable and pleasurable and add to the value
of the original Mentation. You do not have to have an original thought of your
own to be of value to the overall welfare of your existence.
Every occupant of your earth shares in the Mentation process to some
degree, which is evidenced in other Intentions as will be later discussed.
Intelligence is apparent in every occupant of your earth and moves to increase
the ratio of Volition to Consciousness. Consciousness does not change but
Volition does, and while we have not expressly discussed the change of Volition
through diminishment, it does occur. As humans you have the choice to either
increase your Volition or allow it to deteriorate. Animals, plants and minerals
have less choice in this matter.
While you may not entertain any great or very profound thought, the more
you seek knowledge of your environment, which, by the way, you have yourself
created, the more you ponder the mysteries of your life and world, the more new
experience you permit yourself to engage, the more you contribute to the
storehouse of the Realm of Mind from which the individuals of the Intention
Mentation draw their ideas and understanding. As you have been told, every
thought you think, no matter how passing, brief or seemingly unimportant, is
actually very important and has impact on your world. It then, of course,
behooves you to retain control over your thoughts, keep them productive and
positive. There is nothing as destructive as negative thought or disbelief that
something can be so. The more derogatory you are to your fellow man, the more
destructive you are.
Emotion also plays a part in this process. As you entertain feelings of
resentment, anger, hate, condescension and contempt, you contribute to the
deterioration of your world and the inhibiting of great mental activities from those
who are here to fulfill the Intention Mentation. Just think of how much your
civilization has been set back by prejudice, greed, selfishness, and so forth. Your
political climate at this point in the development of your civilization is that there
will have to be a crisis to resolve some of the situation. However, you have come
a long way from your feudal days for the most part. Your group’s peace
meditations are effective even if you do not see the results as you would wish
them to be. Keep up the good work. You are promoting the Intention of
Mentation, and it will be that Intention that comes up with the resurrecting
philosophy that provides the future for your planet.
Go in blessedness and peace.
