Well, you could make a choice, or try to, but that would auto put you back into fear consciousness. Then no alternative but surrender. It is a wonderful feeling, and you do not lose anything that you really want to retain.

Good intuition. I learnt that I never had, nor could have, enough info to make a proper decision, so I now don't try. I surrender and trust. Good/bad, right/wrong are symptoms of the fearful mind. True/false is starting to move into the loving mind. After moving into the loving mind/consciousness, there are no decisions to make as they only seem relevant in the fearful mind/consciousness - this, as you said, is trusting and being clear.

An intention is a thought.

I would say that it is an expression of your beginning recognition of the full power of the truth.

I as a person could say much the same thing, but I know that essentially I am not a person, I am awareness (or the absence of the ego-I, the self-image). Knowing this, there is no need to get rid of the past as in essence I am not in time. The full realisation of this appears to take time, but that is just the fading of the attachment to time. With best wishes,

I suggest more meditation to quieten the mind.

Whenever I have been 'going round in circles' in my life I have found that the number one priority is to quieten the mind.

@rush You can still lead a 'normal' life and be detached; still have a family, friends, etc. However you are not mentally attached to anything as you are in a higher consciousness, a different mind, another dimension - whilst still appearing here on Earth. You can move to this dimension gradually by mentally discarding attachments; you do not need to physically discard them. Detachment is all about what you value. Start with what you least value. If you value peace the most you can mentally discard everything gradually. I am working through this.

In my experience, in the ego mind (lower mind) there is no free will, there is only thought to be - however there seems to be free will when in this mind. In the higher mind there is no need for free will as there is only (self) awareness/observation. Thus there is no paradox as you can move from one mind to the other. This is true free will and taking responsibility.
