Hello, Below are my thoughts on intentions, relating to Rawn's comments in his post on Black Magic: All root intentions are positive, however, these positive intentions can become altered and sent off on a tangent by the psyche. When manifested directly, without the filter of an -unbalanced- psyche, these positive intentions are expressed clearly and the most appropriate actions are manifested. When these positive intentions become altered, varyingly less appropriate actions are manifested. Perhaps expressing divinity is allowing the ultimate root intentions to shine through us, unaltered. I expect that karma is like a mirror, reflecting ourselves upon ourselves. Through understanding aspects of ourselves in such a direct way, we have an opportunity to become more 'refined', to evolve. All the best, C
