Intention vs Expectation – Quantum Mechanics and You
You can intend all you like, but it’s your expectation of the outcome that actually produces the result.
So if you ‘intend’ for something to happen by using physical ‘thought energy’, but deep down inside yourself you’re thinking ‘this stuff won’t work’, then your expectation will override your intention.
Observation with expectation is very powerful. You get what you expect.
For me, intending is the easy part.
It’s easy to ‘intend’ my way through the world. What isn’t so easy is ‘expecting’ a different outcome than I’ve always expected. This lesson has changed my life. It’s easy to go to a motivational seminar and come out of that experience with an ‘intention’ to change or improve some aspect of your life.
But if you don’t change your ‘expectation’ of yourself, the intention has little effect.
Why do so many lottery winners end up broke in a relatively short time? They might have a strong intention to win the lottery, which was a short-term success, but they didn’t change the underlying expectation of their experience of life, which is to be broke.
I’ve learned that by using specific thought energy (intention), and adding to that an ‘expectation’ which matches the intention, I now experience the world in a new way. There is a causal interaction between thought (consciousness) and matter.
Many people disagree with this concept. They come from a hard core, materialistic frame of mind, refusing to believe that consciousness can exist outside the skull…and that’s ok.
Let’s agree to disagree.
It doesn’t matter if you or anyone else challenges my beliefs; I only have to prove this causal effect to myself…and the application of this knowledge to my life, has indeed proved it beyond any doubt.

Hi Ralph…the effects of quantum mechanics are bizarre yet inescapable.
Hi Curtis: You do this so well — yes, we can have a shelf full of self help books and audioes, etc., but if we don’t expect change, development, nothing will happen. Intention is the easy part, expectation takes some more effort. Write on !
