The “Intenders Handbook” by Tony Burroughs<\/p><\/div>\n

Quoting author, Tony:\u00a0 “The Mighty Manifesters — The purpose of this handbook is to help you make your life better.\u00a0 The Intenders of the Highest Good will show you how to make your dreams come true easily and with the least amount of effort.\u00a0 We’ve been practicing the ideas that are given in this handbook for several years and have found that the laws of manifestation work very efficiently for us when we do two simple things:\u00a0 1.\u00a0 We say our intentions out loud everyday; 2. We meet together with like-minded friends in an Intenders Circle once a week.<\/p>\n

This is all that needs to be done for us to start getting everything that we desire out of life.\u00a0 We must be willing to take a few moments away from our busy routines for these two important things (or something similar that may be called by another name) so that we can consciously turn our deepest desires into real-life experiences.\u00a0 Otherwise, we will remain unempowered and at the mercy of the every changing world we live in.<\/p>\n

To the men and women who can manifest whatever is needed in their lives, it doesn’t matter how scarce things appear to be or what the newspapers and TV are saying.\u00a0 Self-empowered people simply observe the day-to-day challenges that are going on all around them, while manifesting a world of their own choosing – a world of peace and comfort.\u00a0 They live happily because that’s what they’ve intended to do.”<\/p>\n

You may wonder why I include a number of other things that do not seem to be directly related to the design and production of art (and music) on my blog.\u00a0 My personal philosophy is that everything in my life affects everything else, no matter the topic, the breadth, the depth, the timing.\u00a0 Creating art and music is my method of maintaining my self-sanity.\u00a0 I don’t know about any other artists, but life is not a bowl of cherries all the time.\u00a0 There are so many ups and downs of which we are not in control, and of course I cannot help but respond.\u00a0 Art and music helps me to process the negative circumstances.\u00a0 I also welcome methods of self-help processes.<\/p>\n

This book is one of those items that not only validates what I have been naturally working on in my own personal life, the information expands my horizons of thinking and being.\u00a0 I appreciate this.\u00a0 I welcome the guidance and forthright words.<\/p>\n

I came across this book last week while heading out the door at the doctor’s office; hey what’s that little book about?\u00a0 The doc replied “…take a copy!”\u00a0 I enjoyed the read so much, I decided this was something I wanted to share with anyone and everyone, especially my kids and close friends.\u00a0 I called the number at the back of the book to make an order; it turns out that the author lives in this same little town out here in the mountains of Colorado!\u00a0 Like what are the chances for that!?<\/p>\n

AND when I met up with him to buy more copies of this book, we exchanged business cards and eventually he invited me to the local “Intenders Circle” held every Thursday night starting with a potluck meal…!\u00a0 Am I going?\u00a0 Well,…I normally shy away from consistent, organized, on-going “groups.”\u00a0 I don’t know why I initially shy away from “organizations” but like I mentioned earlier, I intend on making changes in my life and this is one of those opportunities to make a change, right?\u00a0 If I don’t like the group for whatever reason(s), I don’t have to go anymore!<\/p>\n

Tony continues with “Reference Points”:\u00a0 “From the beginning of the Intenders, we have been guided by three reference points.\u00a0 A reference point for us is something that we know we can count on.\u00a0 The courageous mariners of old knew all about using points of reference.\u00a0 They would pick out certain starts, or a spot on the distant shoreline, and they would refer to these points when they wanted to know where they were and where they were going.\u00a0 Likewise, we Intenders also want to know where we are going in our lives.<\/p>\n

Our three main points of reference are:\u00a0 1).\u00a0 Our desires are in us to be fulfilled; 2. Our thoughts create our world; and 3). Our intentions must serve the highest and best good of the Universe, as well as the highest and best good of ourselves and others.”<\/p>\n

Tony told a story of someone who had not stated the third intention of “must serve the highest and best good of the Universe…”\u00a0 That importance of why we must include this 3rd intention in every one of our requests was summarized at the end of the story.\u00a0\u00a0 Fetch a copy of this book for yourself and you will understand why!<\/p>\n

I will have limited copies of this little handbook available for sale at the Alaska-Juneau Public Market at Centennial Hall during Thanksgiving weekend in Juneau, Alaska.\u00a0 Come by Booth #P-15 in the main hall !\u00a0 They are only $4\/book.<\/p>\n

I will also have these books available for sale during any of my upcoming classes, and art markets coming up within this next year in 2015.<\/p>\n
