At first glance Technology and Intention seem to make strange bedfellows. Technology has a cool, unfeeling, matter-of-fact demeanor. Intention is cozy and warm with feeling, emotion, desire, and belief. What would they be doing together? Surprisingly, the more closely we look at the power of intention the more we are seeing that it is indeed a technology. A highly evolved one at that.
Since this is my inaugural blog, I would like to share how I came to this world of intention and its beneficial technology.
Years ago, on the banks of the Bio-Bio river in the Andes of Chile, semi-paralyzed after a serious whitewater rafting accident, I was told by the expedition doctor I would never make it out of the canyon alive. He pressed me to write farewell letters to loved ones in the time left.
Little did I know this was to be my initiation to the life changing power of intention.
I wrote the letters. In a foreign country, surrounded by strangers, on top of stark, lifeless mountains, saying goodbye to my life, I experienced a crystal clear intention to survive. The intent partnered with a crazy desire in the deepest part of my being to do everything I could to make it happen. A tall order when you can’t walk and the nearest alpine hospital was 10 hours away over rough terrain. So trust and surrender were required. I had no idea at the time these were essential components of intention - clear focus, deep emotion, sacrifice, trust and surrender to relationship (more on this later).
This is my example of the personal side of intention. Similar experiences have happened to everyone in one form or another. Mind affecting the stuff we are made of. Yes, I survived. No, I didn’t know how to make it happen again.
Fast forward to today. Over my 25 years in the food business, growing crops, producing and distributing products to millions of people, it became increasingly clear to me that the food we eat is not energetically whole. The pattern of information/energy contained in food in its most natural form is whole. More often than not by time it gets to our plates the information pattern is partial at best with the only energy remaining bio-chemical.
I began looking for technology to restore its whole informational/intentional pattern. The research led me to the physics department of several major universities, including the University of Wisconsin. Expecting them to suggest new methods of restoring quantum coherence through non-local interactions, I was surprised when instead they talked about an existing technology. One perfected over 3000 years. Tibetan meditators, they told me, have consistently demonstrated mind-matter interactions and there are workable theories on how to embed and capture patterns of intentional coherence that stem from meditation – particularly long term meditators (practice apparently does make perfect!).
We tried it. We tested it. It worked.
By combining ancient technology with new we were able to use intention to positively affect the whole qualities of chocolate and the wellbeing of those who ate it (wellness is the base intention embedded in the chocolate). We confirmed our results through double blind, placebo based methods. You can read more about the experiment and its results at IntentionalChocolate.com.
Now we know there is a method for repeating intentional results. A real technology.
So what does this tell us about these strange bedfellows intention & technology? The answer seems to point to a relationship with a level of information available to us all, given the proper conditions (like my experience in Chile or the practices of long term meditators). We ask the questions. Responses come and are available to us all. The same qualities that make for a good relationship define the necessary elements of the intentional technology. We will explore those qualities and that relationship in upcoming posts.
Wow. I definitely learned something new with this post! I look forward to reading future posts from you!
I enjoyed reading this with a nice cup of carrot, celery, spinach, strawberry, blueberry, orange juice…made with love. There is a difference. Our vibrations (intentions) are imprinted on everything that we touch. I love that more and more companies are putting this into practice.
I looked at the chocolates….yum. How about raw, organic? I would guess that the intentions would come across more intensely since the original state of the cacao molecules would be intact.
Well, I know how I will be staying healthy and happy this season and also passing it along to others as holiday gifts. What an amazing product. Intention is quite a powerful thing!
Really interesting article, thanks for posting this! A lot to think about…
Chocolate?…mmmm….did someone say chocolate?!
Seriously though your inaugural blog was very awesome and inspiring…you really did have such a powerful and moving experience there surrendering it all up in the mountains…I'm gonna get more into this IntentionalChocolate thing gonna check out your site…Have you ever collaborated or chatted with Lynne Mc Taggart who carrys out The Peace Intention Experiment?
I took part in her last big experiment to think bout peace in a war part of Sri Lanka. You may of course know her …just mentioning her in case you dont. I see she has a profile on here but I take it she isnt on often. I was probably the only experimenter from my country of Trinidad and Tobago…Im on the Trinidad bit…and in Mc Taggart's summary I see I was from far flung places as Trinidad!
I love these experiments things…it's the engineer in my perhaps(since you do study science for years before usually). I personally am experimenting with Universal Collective Prayer and I carry out a blog of that name…of course wish more would join me with that…I'm also since the Mumbai Terror Attacks trying to walk in the shoes of others very different from me. Both are reflected on my intents.
Nice to have you blog here and have the pleasure of listening to your voice!
This is amazing! Truly wonderful. Having a technology like that and to be able to use it is really commendable. I wonder how the Tibetan meditator's theory can be made workable using present day instruments and what role does quantum coherence play in that kind of instrumentation. Interesting to know that this kind of research is being industrialized. Thanks for this post.
Great question. New instrumentaion has lead most every new paradigm shift in science. We are working on a variety of new concepts to measure coherence but they are still in the experimental stage. When we are certain of their untility we will let you know via this blog.
Thanks a lot for putting this post. This is truly amazing to see. This is taking research to a whole new level. I had read about related experiments that concern interconversion of matter-energy and how something like a laser can be teleported. In the light of such experiments, this looks really interesting. I wish to learn more about this from blogs and otherwise too. Thanks once more.
If this is really true, then I'm certainly intrigued and I suppose it's time to update the old adage to "The proof is in the CHOCOLATE pudding"!
