how do you think intention work? What gives it it's power? I'm curious to see where this thread will lead.
But the "natural" flow of sand is subject to friction and resistance. The hourglass itself is part of nature.Creating friction and resistance to what would be the natural physical flow of sand

That's a very controversial claim, but if it does happen then I think the cause is that the structure of what we call the "material world" is in fact determined by the mind. That objects in the universe are separate and unconnected is more of a perceptual interpretation than a fact of reality, and the phenomena that you mentioned are able to cut through the rigid structure that our minds impose on the world to achieve results that seem to transcend our material model of the world.Because it can and does happen
Hypothetically, three people are in a closed room. They each have an intention-potential; that is, a specific passive charge that upon interacting with the others in the room it becomes kinetic and may be passed around.anamnesia said:Intention is exactly that which charges, as if it were life force itself, thought.
As we think, so we speak.

Thought can be charged with intention and fired radially outward like bullet beams of thought-light - a finer essence than visible light or any light on the so-called electromagnetic spectrum.
These thought waves, if sufficiently invigorated with with the energy of intention, (intention reflects that which we desire)
can interpenetrate minds, in the same way as radio antennas generating and receiving each other's signals.

If person A has +10 potential, person B has +14 potential and person C has +6 potential - over time, do they reach equilibrium?
All of them at +10 and faithfully/simultaneously passing the required amount of potential between each other to keep a steady rhythm.
A gives B +5, B gives C +5, C gives A +5 etc.

I disagree. Matter is wavelike, and so particles such as atoms do not exist at singular locations. They are dislocated in space, and have significant overlap. This is how they interact. Intention is not necessary to explain why atoms move together. It can be explained by many-body interactions. Sorry to be a buzzkill. I do admire the theoretical mindset you guys are in.Atoms which compose my body are as far apart from one another as the stars are so unbelievably distant from one another in space. My point is this: when you move your hand, all those molecules move altogether at once - in the same way that a flock of birds seem to be one mind when they all move up into the air together at the flick of a finger - they don't seem to have a leader - they move altogether at once. Where's the intention there?
