Excerpted from the book "The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World by Lynne McTaggart" (https://amzn.to/3T0RfFO)
CONCEPT “The Intention Experiment rests on an outlandish premise: thought affects physical reality. A sizable body of research exploring the nature of consciousness, carried on for more than thirty years in prestigious scientific institutions around the world, shows that thoughts are capable of affecting everything from the simplest machines to the most complex living beings. 1 This evidence suggests that human thoughts and intentions are an actual physical “something” with the astonishing power to change our world. Every thought we have is a tangible energy with the power to transform. A thought is not only a thing; a thought is a thing that influences other things.”
BEING AN INTENDER
“Although the power of intention is such that any sort of focused will may have some effect, the scientific evidence suggests that you will be a more effective “intender” if you become more “coherent,” in the scientific sense of the term. To do this to greatest effect, or so the scientific evidence suggests, you will need to choose the right time and place, quiet your mind, learn how to focus, entrain yourself with the object of your intention, visualize, and mentally rehearse. Believing that the experiment will work is also essential.”
