Intention, importance, flow — part 1: the doctrine of choosing reality, and the psychology that may actually be at work

⚠️ MARKUP AND HONESTY. This is a summary of the claims of a practice. Everything below is an exposition of the doctrine (practice-instruction / revival-claim), not confirmation that the entities described exist. This is late-20th / early-21st-c. eclecticism (pop-esoterica + pop-psychology + quantum-sounding metaphor), revival-claim; not an ancient tradition and not proven science.

Literal “external causality / steering reality / energy” (the space of variations, pendulums, balancing forces, thought radiation, outer intention as a force, “a transfer onto the lines of life,” the free energy of the Cosmos, the transaction, synchronicity) = [unverified] EVERYWHERE.

Summary

Part 1 lays out the [revival-claim] model of the modern practice of intention, in which reality is a space of variations: an infinite static field of already-existing “sectors” (a script + scenery), organized into “lines of life.” By the doctrine, a person does not reach a goal by effort but chooses a sector, tuning the “parameters of mental radiation” to it; the key tool is outer intention (“the resolve to have”), opposed to ordinary inner intention (“the resolve to act”). The chief obstacles, by the doctrine, are pendulums (energy-informational parasites that feed on the energy of people) and excess potentials, generated by importance (excessive significance). And so almost all the techniques come down to lowering importance, releasing one's grip, moving “with the current of variations,” and holding the ”target slide” (an inner picture of the achieved goal). All of this is [unverified] as a cosmology; it is documented as a set of practical instructions and psychological devices.

Key concepts

Tag on each: revival-claim (a postulate of the worldview) and/or practice-instruction (an operational instruction). Literal causality — [unverified].

• The space of variations — revival-claim [unverified]. A static information field containing all possible “variations” (a script + scenery); matter “moves” across it, rather than changing it. A coordinate grid of any motion of matter..
• Lines of life / sectors — revival-claim [unverified]. Chains of cause and effect made of roughly homogeneous sectors; “fate” crosses over to another line when the script/scenery changes.
• Choice / “your choice is always realized” — revival-claim [unverified]. The postulate: a person gets what they choose (“don't fight — choose”). Presented as an immutable law.
• Radiation of mental energy / “thoughts are material” — revival-claim [unverified]. A thought “lights up” a sector of the space of variations and induces its materialization; a person crosses over to lines that coincide in “frequency” with their radiation. (The basis of all the “positive/negative” instructions.)
• Pendulums (energetic / destructive) — revival-claim [unverified]. Energy-informational entities born of the one-directional thought of a group of people; they “feed” on the energy of their adherents at a “resonant frequency,” impose alien goals without caring for the good of the individual. They hook in through emotions, importance, a sense of guilt, fear. → A large block of techniques = how to not give them your energy.
• Importance (inner and outer) — practice-instruction / revival-claim. The excessive significance assigned to oneself / one's shortcomings (inner) or to objects and events (outer). Declared the sole real cause of problems; lowering it is the through-line instruction of the book.
• Excess potentials — revival-claim [unverified]. An “energetic inhomogeneity” that arises when great significance is attached to an assessment (importance, idealization, the desire to possess, a sense of guilt, comparison). It calls forth “balancing forces.”
• Balance / balancing forces — revival-claim [unverified]. A postulated law: nature eliminates excess potentials, and the elimination often strikes their source (“a flick on the nose”). → hence “don't inflate importance.”
• Inner intention — practice-instruction / revival-claim. “The resolve to act,” the direct pressure of the will on the world within a single line of life; bounded by the laws of natural science. “Inner intention reaches.”
• Outer intention — revival-claim [unverified]. “The resolve to have”; “it is not I who go to the mountain — the mountain comes to me”: it does not transmute things, but chooses an already ready realization in the space of variations. “Outer intention chooses.” It is born of the “unity of soul and reason,” and is not directly subordinate to the will of reason.
• The unity (union) of soul and reason — practice-instruction / revival-claim. A state of accord between “reason” (which thinks in words / concepts) and “the soul” (which feels, knows without words). Declared the condition for the triggering of outer intention, of inspiration and creativity.
• Soul comfort / discomfort; “the rustle of the morning stars” — practice-instruction. A bodily-emotional “yes/no” signal from “the soul,” a criterion for the choice of goal and decisions; “the rustle of the morning stars” is a faint inner voice / premonition, audible when the “inner monologue” is stopped.
• Slides — practice-instruction / revival-claim. Two meanings: (a) a distorting slide — a picture stuck in the head (often a projection: what you fear in yourself, you see in others), born of importance; (b) a target slide — a deliberately created inner picture of the already-achieved goal, which one “runs” and in which one “lives,” so as to widen the “comfort zone” and tune in to the target line. the exact usage.
• Comfort zone — practice-instruction. The range of what a person “lets themselves have”; a goal outside it → discomfort and sabotage; slides “widen” it.
• The wave of fortune — revival-claim [unverified]. A cluster of favorable lines of life; one “tunes in” to it with positive radiation / gratitude; “a thought comes back like a boomerang.”
• The goal and the door — practice-instruction / revival-claim. “One's own goal” is what brings true joy (the criterion being soul comfort), and is not imposed by pendulums; “one's own door” is the path to it that suits you specifically. Happiness is in the movement toward one's goal through one's own door, not “afterward.”
• Coordination (of intention / of importance) — practice-instruction. A late device of the book: instead of “certainty” (declared an excess potential) — to consciously meet events as positive and “balance on the wave of fortune,” “helping oneself with the oar of pure intention,” rather than fighting the current.
• The current of variations / moving with the current — practice-instruction / revival-claim. Streams of “least resistance”; the instruction is to observe, not to control, not to “slap at the water with your hands.”
• Renting oneself out — practice-instruction. To act impeccably as a performer-observer, without emotional involvement → so as not to create excess potentials.
• The watcher — practice-instruction. An inner background observer; to “activate” it, so as to notice importance / pendulums in time and keep one's awareness.
• Awareness / lucid dreaming — practice-instruction / revival-claim. “Don't sleep while awake”; in a dream — realize that it is a dream, and “steer the script.” Presented as training the sensation of outer intention. [unverified] any claims about the reality of “the soul's journey through the space of variations” in a dream.
• Fraile / frailing — revival-claim / practice-instruction. “Fraile” is the individual, unrepeatable essence of the soul; “frailing” is tuning in to the “frequency” of a partner (a focus on their interests and significance) for the sake of contact and influence. the terms (secondary literature assigns “frailing” to later steps).
• Energetics / free energy / the central flows — revival-claim [unverified]. “The free energy of the Cosmos” passes through the body in two counter-flows (an ascending / a descending one); an “energetic shell”; the “channels” are widened by “energetic gymnastics.” The force of outer intention is supposedly proportional to one's energetics.
• The induced transition — revival-claim [unverified]. A “funnel”: a negative reaction puts one into resonance with a destructive pendulum and “transfers” one onto negative lines (catastrophes, illnesses). → the instruction 'don't let the negative in.'
• The transaction — revival-claim [unverified]. A late ritual of book 1: “the turn of the key” (visualizing two arrows along the spine) + the target slide
  • a “clear gaze” at the change in the “shades of the scenery” as a sign of a transition onto a new line..
• Synchronicity — revival-claim [unverified]. In the finale it is introduced as an “explanation” (coincidences of thoughts and events, references to Bell's theorem); presented as an illustration of the model, not as proof.

Techniques

Format: Name — what to do (steps) / the claimed effect / the presumed mechanism (if the author names one). All the “claimed effects” about external reality are [unverified].

• Lowering / dropping importance — to constantly track how much importance you assign to yourself, the goal, and the situation; not to “inflate” events into problems; to chuckle and “drop importance” when provoked. Effect: elimination of the excess potential, the “balancing forces leave you alone,” the pendulums “don't hook in,” the obstacle “removes itself.” Mechanism (author): importance → excess potential → balancing forces [unverified]. (A through-line technique of the whole book.)
• Pure intention / “to want without desiring” — to act without passionate desire and without significance (“to care without worrying, to strive without getting carried away, to act without insisting”); to make peace with defeat in advance, to run through the scenario of failure, to provide a fallback (“don't bet on a single card”). Effect: the excess potential of desire is removed, outer intention is “brought nearer.” Mechanism: desire / importance hold the potential; their removal frees up “the energy of intention.”
• “Intention in action” / acting instead of desiring — not to reason about attainability, but to do, right away, “any way at all”; “like getting the mail from the box.” Effect: the potential of desire / anxiety / expectation “dissolves in the action,” the problem solves itself. (A direct instruction not to substitute expectation for action.)
• The target slide (“running the slide,” “living in the slide”) — to create a detailed inner picture of the already-achieved goal (with sensations, sounds, smells); to systematically “run” it, to feel like a participant, not an observer; to add details; not on the result, but to “live” in it. Effect: a widening of the comfort zone, a “tuning of the radiation to the target line,” a gradual realization. Mechanism: “the soul can be trained, not convinced” → systematic repetition. ⚠ see the links section — the risk of “indulging.”
• Visualizing the process (the current link of the “transfer chain”) — to picture not the final goal, but the process / the nearest step toward achieving it; to register a successful course, to intend the next step. Effect: it “unites inner intention with outer,” a movement toward the goal. (The author opposes this to “a movie in the mind” about a finished result.)
• Affirmations (“the sound slide”) — to repeat short, narrowly-aimed phrases in the present tense, positively, with the corresponding feeling, in a “zero emotional state,” aiming at the cause, not the effect. Effect: accord of soul and reason, the needed sensations. Mechanism (author): without emotions / importance, the subconscious “accepts” the formula.
• A positive slide about oneself — to picture oneself as desired (confident, charming); to carry out an “inventory” of one's negative slides and switch one's attention from shortcomings to merits. Effect: those around you “perceive you the way you picture yourself”; elimination of the negative slide.
• Quenching / collapsing a pendulum — not to fight and not to get angry (fighting “feeds” the pendulum); instead: to agree and gently lead it aside (aikido-style), to react unexpectedly / inadequately (joy instead of irritation), or a benevolent visualization — to picture the “pendulum-person” having received what they need. Effect: the pendulum “collapses into emptiness” / is quenched, its energy “passes over to you.” Mechanism: the breakdown of the “resonance.”
• Throwing off a pendulum / “emptiness” / switching frequency — to ignore (not to avoid, but to not react); to “stay empty” — “nothing to hook onto”; to “retune to a different frequency, like a radio receiver.” Effect: the pendulum loses access to your energy.
• “Not letting it into you,” the negative (prevention of the induced transition) — not to react, not to discuss, not to live through catastrophes / illnesses / others' negativity; “don't grab the tip of the spiral”; to switch one's attention. Effect: to avoid “resonance” and a transfer onto negative lines. [unverified].
• Tuning to the wave of fortune (positive radiation) — to let in everything good, to be grateful for what you have, to rejoice in small things and even in failures, to “close oneself off to bad news”; to be a transmitter of the positive. Effect: a tuning to favorable lines, “the wave of fortune stays.”
• Catching the wave of fortune / not chasing the “bird of happiness” — having noticed a piece of good news, to “pull on the string” toward its line; or simply to not push away fortune, not trying to grab it. Effect: a crossing over to fortunate circumstances.
• Moving with the current / observation instead of control — to shift one's “center of gravity” from control to observation; not to argue / interfere right away; to release the situation if one's interests are not harmed; to accept the unforeseen into the script; to look for “what's the simplest way?”; to go around an obstacle, not break it. Effect: “genuine” control, fewer problems, less energy spent.
• “The rustle of the morning stars” / listening to the soul — before a decision, to stop the rush of thoughts, to ask oneself “do I feel good or bad?”, to compare the variations by soul comfort; if one has to talk oneself into it, the soul is saying “no.” Effect: access to the “intuitive” choice. (The training — choosing things “as at an exhibition,” without talking yourself into them: “your own thing requires no talking-into.”)
• The search for one's goal and door — to ask “where does the soul incline, what would turn life into a celebration?”; to ask twice over, “do I really need this?”; to drop importance / prestige / thoughts about the means; to test each variation against soul comfort; not to listen to pendulums and advisers; to widen one's circle of interests, so that “the needed information will come.” Effect: to tell one's own goal from another's / an imposed one.
• “Letting yourself have it” / the resolve to have — to picture oneself as worthy of the desired, to convert “believing” into “knowing,” to bring the “improbable” into one's comfort zone with positive slides; “don't fight — just take what's yours,” lightly, without a grip. Effect: doubts fall away, “outer intention will find a way to give.”
• Cleansing intention of importance and desire — to track doubts (a sign of desire); to lower one's inner / outer importance; to reconcile oneself with defeat; to go to the goal “like going to the kiosk for a newspaper.” Effect: “pure” intention “draws in the force of outer intention.”
• Outer intention in relationships (“the intention to give” / frailing) — to renounce the “intention to receive,” to switch over to the inner intention of the partner: to understand what they want and where their significance lies, to take a sincere interest in them, to address them by name, to show genuine sympathy, to present a request as a raising of their significance (“to throw down a challenge”). Effect: the person does the needed thing “as their own,” gives recognition / sympathy / help. Mechanism (author): the launching of “outer intention” through the realization of the other's intention.
• The role of spectator / “coming down into the auditorium” / admitting mistakes — in an argument, not to interfere, to observe; to agree with the opponent, to admit their rightness and one's own mistakes; not to criticize (and if criticism is needed — to begin with praise and self-criticism), not to touch the “negative slide” of the interlocutor. Effect: to take off importance, to make a person an ally, to “move with the current.”
• Energetic gymnastics / steering the central flows — visualizing the counter-flows of energy (perineum→sky and sky→earth), “fountains” over the head and under the feet, closed into a protective “sphere”; through the day, to “switch on” and balance the flows; in strength exercises, the focus: the effort phase — on the muscles, the relaxation phase — on the flows. Effect: a “strengthening of the shell,” a “widening of the channels,” a raising of one's energetics, protection from “vampires.” [unverified].
• Relaxation / dropping clenches without a ritual — to pass with the “inner gaze” over the body, to take off muscle tension; to find that stress = importance, hooked by a pendulum. Effect: getting out of stress, “balance.” (Also here — exercises for the back, a contrast shower, rubbing down with a towel — as a health tip, unverified, see.)
• Playing “Healing,” not “Illness” (habits / health) — not to “let in” information about illnesses, not to count an illness as “one's attribute”; to actively lead a healthy lifestyle “out of conviction, not coercion”; with a bad habit — “just to stop radiating on its frequency,” to “wave it away” without emotion (without joy / regret). Effect: a crossing over to “healthy lines,” a bypassing of the “induced transition.” [unverified] the causality; the rational core — a change of identity / habit.
• Coordination of intention / of importance (the final summary) — to renounce “certainty” as an excess potential; to stop making excuses and fighting for significance; to begin to act (anxiety / expectation “disperse in action”); to meet events as positive; to run the target slide + visualization of the process + “moving your feet toward the goal.” Effect: “freedom without struggle,” movement toward the goal “without effort.”
• The transaction (+ “wiggling the little finger of outer intention”) — dispassionately (like brushing teeth), without tension: “the turn of the key” (two arrows along the spine), running the target slide, a “clear gaze” out in the street — to catch the change in the “shades of the scenery” as a sign of a transition. Effect: a “crossing over to a new / clean line of life.” [unverified] /.
• Delegating one's pride to the Guardian Angel — in rejoicing at a success, to “give over the praise and gratitude” to the Guardian Angel. Effect: “the potential of pride is dissolved,” the joy is preserved. [unverified] (introduced in book 1 explicitly as an esoteric image;).

Connection with the mechanisms and the practice of the course

⚠️ A HYPOTHESIS, flagged as such. The thesis: some instructions of this practice may “work” not through the claimed external causality, but through inner psychological mechanisms. Any claim that a practice device causes “a change in external physical reality apart from changed behavior” = [unverified].

• Lowering “importance” / “renting oneself out” / “reconciling oneself with defeat” ↔ letting go, non-attachment, self-distancing. “Dropping importance,” renouncing the “grip of control,” “reconciling oneself with defeat in advance,” “renting oneself out” (an observer, not a participant) map structurally onto letting go of attachment to the result and self-distancing — see letting go and self-distancing (ironic process, choking, non-attachment, self-distancing, relaxation response). Hypothesis: taking off the anxious monitoring of “will it work out?” by itself improves execution / well-being. (That same file records the trap of “letting go = inaction.”)
• “Outer intention” / “it's not me doing it — it does itself” / “moving with the current” ↔ an external focus of attention + effortlessness / wu wei. “A concentration on how the goal realizes itself,” “to observe, not to control,” “don't slap at the water with your hands,” “intention is concentratedness, not diligence” — this is the vocabulary of an external focus of attention and of effortless attention / wu wei; see external focus and effortlessness (the “conduit” mechanism). Hypothesis: “outer intention” acts as a linguistic trigger: it shifts attention from inner self-monitoring to the external effect, raising automaticity of execution.
• “Running the target slide,” “living in the slide,” “the goal is already achieved” ↔ the risk of indulging (positive fantasies). The “target slide” = an inner picture of the already-achieved goal, in which you are instructed to “live” and to “enjoy, without thinking about the process.” This is close to indulging (living through the desired as achieved), which by the data lowers energization and effort; the working operation is mental contrasting + if-then (WOOP, with a step of action). See mental contrast and WOOP. A note as a hypothesis: the practice has a built-in counterweight — a parallel “visualization of the process / the current link” (a focus on the action, not on the finished result) and an insistent “moving your feet toward the goal” / “act.” That is, the “working variation” of the practice is not pure indulging; but “to enjoy the slide, without thinking about the process” is a formulation that can collapse into a manifestation-trap. .

Net. The connection is structural and hypothetical, not a proof. In this practice (as in the practical track) the action is preserved: “intention in action,” “moving your feet,” “don't desire — take.” This accords with the requirement of the neighboring notes to keep a step of action and not to substitute an expectation for it.
