Becoming part of the solution

Three minute read/listen

Here Tom Campbell emphasises the importance of consciousness quality in achieving personal growth and spiritual evolution. He uses the concept of “bootstrapping” to describe the process of incremental self-improvement, which is achieved through dedicated effort and right motivation. The passage highlights that wrong intent, even if it results in a constructive action, is evolutionarily wrong and that right motivation and intent are the only path to right action and feedback for continued growth and learning. The Physical Material Reality (PMR) virtual reality consciousness trainer is suggested as a tool for providing immediate and cumulative feedback on the quality of intent.

The passage concludes by emphasising that personal growth decreases the entropy of consciousness, and exercising free will interactions has both internal and external results.

”Your ability to express Big Truth within your life by making right choices based upon right intent depends upon the quality of your consciousness.

You gain personal quality the same way you gain strength and endurance or learn to play the piano by dedication and continual effort applied over a significant period of time. We call this self-teaching incremental self-improvement process “bootstrapping” – you may employ a coach to improve technique and clarify issues, but only you can accomplish self-improvement. If the intent is wrong, then, by definition, the choice (of motivation, not of action) is wrong as seen from the perspective of evolving consciousness. The wrong intent or choice is evolutionarily wrong even if it temporarily results in what appears to be a constructive right action in physical-biological space. You do not evolve higher quality consciousness through right action or right result, but only through right motivation and right intent. The PMR virtual reality consciousness trainer provides the opportunity for simple, straightforward interaction and a results-oriented feedback mechanism that reflects immediate and cumulative quality of intent. Motivation, intent, action, and feedback are all interconnected. Right motivation and right intent are the only sure path to right action, which produces the right feedback to encourage continued right growth and learning. 

Right growth and right learning are technically defined as growth or learning that leads to a decrease in the entropy of your consciousness. Personal growth, growing the quality of your being, or growing wisdom – all increase your personal power as they decrease the entropy of your consciousness. I am talking about the growing-up and maturing of your being – a process that increases your capacity to love. I am also talking about spiritual growth, the evolution of your soul. Choose the expression that suits you – they are all essentially equivalent. 

There are three distinct parts here: 1) choice of intent; 2) action, which is a result of intent (what we do); and 3) result, which is the effect of what we do. You should be careful not to confuse action (the animation of your intent) with end result (the effect of your intent). Exercising free will interactions (with self or others) produces an internal result (always) and an external result. (usually). The internal result immediately and most potently affects the quality of the consciousness according to the quality of the intent. The external result affects others as well as yourself and generates the appropriate feedback or reaction. Thus, it is not possible to achieve a right result if the intent is wrong. A wrong intent damages its creator despite what else happens. ”
