Deliberate Creative Control (exercise)
We encourage you to be aware
of the natural segments of your day.
There are not two of you who experience
the same SEGMENTS,
for each of your life experiences are different,
but we will give you some examples here:
When you wake up in the morning,
the time that you remain in bed after you are awake
is a segment.
After you get out of bed, the time that you are in your house,
making preparation to leave for work, or other activities
is a segment.
When you get into your automobile, the time that you are in your automobile,
moving from one place to another
is a segment.
When you answer the telephone, it begins a new segment.
When someone walks into your office, it begins a new segment, and so on.
IF YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THAT YOU HAVE BEGUN A NEW SEGMENT,
AND AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH SEGMENT,
IF YOU WILL TAKE A MOMENT
TO CLARIFY WHAT YOUR DOMINANT INTENTIONS ARE
WHAT YOU MOST WANT TO RECEIVE, OR GIVE, DURING THAT SEGMENT
-
THEN YOU WILL BE IN DELIBERATE CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE EXPERIENCE.

You are beings who hold many intentions,
and every intention does not apply
to every moment of your life experience.
Some of your intentions are more appropriate in some moments,
while others are more appropriate in others.
And it is necessary for you to identify which intentions
are most important during which moments
in order to be in complete and deliberate control
of your life experience.
When you get into your automobile, as you are buckling your safety belt,
intend safety, keen awareness,
and perceptiveness of what other drivers are intending.
Clearly, it is more appropriate to intend safety when getting into your automobile
than when you are reading a book at home.
When you answer your telephone, take a moment, once you know who is calling,
to intend that which you most want to communicate to that person.
Intend clarity of thought and clarity of expression.
Intend brevity if it is important. ... Intend to uplift the caller.
It is more appropriate that you intend clarity of communication
as you are speaking on the telephone
than when you are swimming alone in your pool.
Most of you do not take time to think about what you generally want,
let alone thinking specifically about what you want,
moment by moment
as you move through your day.
But as you identify each new segment
and intend clearly what your dominant intentions are for that segment,
you will have deliberate control of your life experience.
We are aware that it would he cumbersome to stop in every moment
to identify what you most want,
-
but it is not cumbersome to divide your day into segments
and to take a few seconds in the beginning of each segment
to identify what you are wanting.
In a short time you will find it is very easy for you
to identify the beginning of a new segment,
-
and the few seconds that it takes to intend what you are wanting
will not only streamline your life,
providing much more time to do those things that you are wanting to do,
-
but you will find much more joyous contentment within each day
as you are receiving that which you have deliberately intended.
and every intention does not apply

Some of your intentions are more appropriate in some moments,
while others are more appropriate in others.
And it is necessary for you to identify which intentions
are most important during which moments
in order to be in complete and deliberate control
of your life experience.
For example:
When you get into your automobile, as you are buckling your safety belt,
intend safety, keen awareness,
and perceptiveness of what other drivers are intending.
Clearly, it is more appropriate to intend safety when getting into your automobile
than when you are reading a book at home.
