Intentions

How do you let your intentions guide you without your ego taking control?

Desire is the starting point of all achievement.

Mantra

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare

Evolution​

Attention is all you need if you don't have a soul, egoless intention coupled with flow of attention drives evolution.

  • Evolution as Emergent Purpose: Evolution isn't just random selection; it's a process in which living systems develop purposeful functions and agency, manifesting a drive to realize their potential.
  • Awareness Fuels Evolutionary Creativity: Organisms exhibit a form of non-conscious awareness, allowing them to perceive possibilities, harness randomness, experiment with new strategies, and adapt creatively.
  • Potential is Realized Through Collective Intelligence: Cells and multicellular organisms behave intelligently, solving problems, self-organizing, and working collectively to adapt, survive, and thrive.
  • Drive to Manifest Desired Realities: The evolutionary process is not passive—it features an active drive (from cells to full organisms) to select pathways, restore functions, and optimize for favorable futures, often overriding genetic constraints at the system level.
  • Structure Constrains and Channels Intent: Life's potential manifests when emergent structures and boundary conditions (membranes, multicellularity) allow the system to focus and channel creative processes—transforming unpredictable possibilities into actionable reality.
  • Purpose and Creativity Are Objective, Not Supernatural: Purpose isn't just a human feeling or a religious concept; it's a testable, objective feature of living systems. Evolution brings about purpose and agency as emergent, scientifically investigable properties.
  • “Engineer the Dream, Then Dream Up the Engineering” in Biology: Biological evolution mirrors “dream engineering” - first comes a system's awareness of possibilities (“dreams”), then its purposive actuation to realize greater potential.
  • Beyond Reductionism—Holistic Manifestation: The drive is not reducible to genes alone; the whole system (organism, community) steers evolution toward greater unrealized possibilities through integrative, holistic adaptation—just as dream engineering assembles new realities from the interplay of intent and action.

The Internet of Intent​

The next evolution of the internet is not about capturing attention but enabling intentions. It represents a shift from passive consumption to proactive orchestration, where digital systems understand, anticipate, and act on human goals. This "Internet of Intent" will be powered by AI, blockchain, and decentralized infrastructures to create a frictionless environment for fulfilling purposeful actions.
