The Power of Intention with Rev. Penny Macek, DD

May 10, 2026
Carlos Castaneda writes, “In the universe there is an immeasurable, indestructible force which shamans call intent, and everything that exists in the entire cosmos is attached to intent by a connecting link.” 

When we rest into this truth, we begin to sense that our highest intentions are always rooted in love—unselfish, expansive, and inclusive by nature. As we gently release our attachment to goal-driven striving, something beautiful unfolds. We shift from trying to acquire and possess, into a life inspired by expression, Presence, and offering. 

The human personality often asks, “What can I get?” But the spirit quietly wonders, “What can I give? What longs to be created, shared, and expressed through me?” This is why a spiritual life is not something we achieve, but something we embody through intention. Each loving intention becomes a doorway through which life can move.
