It’s not that intent cannot create results without action; rather meaningful action cannot exist without intent.
However, purely focused intent attracts movement, as well as (in addition to) causing it. This, I believe, is the very basis of the law of attraction – which is simply that like attracts like – and it goes well beyond the direct result of any particular action.
Everything is composed of energy-matter, the two being interchangeable, and exists in a continuous state of varying frequency and amplitude of vibration.
One of the simplest examples of the law of attraction is Sympathetic Resonance. If we strike a key on a piano, the strings of that note will vibrate in an excited state at the frequency they’re tuned to – carrying the vibration to our ears, which we experience as sound.
In fact, not only the strings that were directly impacted by the hammer of the key we struck will be excited, but the strings of every similar note on the piano will be excited also. For instance, strike an A key on the piano, and every A string on the piano will resonate simultaneously. Not only that, but the A strings on any other instrument within range will also be excited, as will any other object tuned to that same frequency.
Thus, not only did the action of striking a specific key on the piano cause its strings to create sound for us directly, but it attracted all other sympathetic objects within range to resonate in perfect harmony, including the various parts of our body – especially, the inner ear – which in turn causes the same frequency of nerve impulses and the same frequency of thought vibration that our brain will now interpret as sound. All of this activity was caused by the single action of striking a key on the piano keyboard, born of the intent that we would hear the corresponding sound.
Taken in reverse – the composer, intending to create music, organizes his thoughts to the frequencies of sounds that seem appealing to him, which he essentially hears or experiences directly in his mind. He then might record the sequence of vibrations as notes on a page, which other musicians, intending now to recreate the work for all to hear, perform the necessary action to excite the corresponding vibration of their instruments, ultimately transmitting the thought vibration to the minds of the listeners, who now all experience the sound of his music simultaneously.
The notes recorded on the page were a shorthand kind of blueprint for other musicians to interpret the previous thoughts of the composer, which they could then amplify using their instruments in order for others to have a similar experience, having received the amplified reproduction as sound vibrations throughout body and mind.
All of this work of creation having resulted from the harmonious intentions of composer, musician, and listener, by way of their corresponding actions and the resulting impacts of those actions. And, by the same token, listener is attracted to musician, who is attracted to composer, who is attracted to music or vibration of a particular nature & character, and thus we see a simple example of the law of attraction in action.
But thought itself is energy, and is nowise limited to the constraints of the host’s (thinker’s) mind or body. Thought is measurable outside and away from the body, even by carefully designed scientific instruments, crude as they may be, and travels at the speed of light, which is of course exponentially faster than sound, and is unencumbered by the physical limitations of sound. In other words both light and thought are able to reach us instantaneously from tremendous distances, whereas sound waves, in addition to being slow are also very limited in how far they can travel before being completely absorbed.
By the same principals, the thoughts we think are resonating throughout our bodies and throughout the rest of creation, so that we attract like minded beings, and via sympathetic resonance, impact the rest of creation by our thoughts, in varying degrees, corresponding to the strength, clarity, and focus of our intent – all of which is part and parcel to the law of attraction and the laws of success, in my view.
