Intent and Critical Mass




The correlation between intent and critical mass is long proven as it is the intent when reaches a level, becomes the critical mass for that which is intended. At the same time it has been also noted that this critical mass is a very small percentage, in complete disparity with the magnitude of that which is effected.

Thus the article, ‘Waiting To Pick Up A Fight’, by Sadhuguru, The Speaking Tree, TOI, dt. 26/09/12, led to the attainment of the critical mass to manifest that which is being shared now, giving it the final push for its materialization thus. I am thankful to him for the same and the TOI as well.


His article serves as the catalyst because it resonates with a long-standing experience and realization that only a very small fraction, of harbingers of evil, topples the good intents of the majority. Thus the 2-3% becomes significant relegating the rest 97-98%.

Why is it that the force of negativity is more powerful than the positive force? When looked at from the angle of the absolute it is very easy to explain, that even in the upheaval lies the next surge for the natural, evolution, and thus they are evolutionary drivers. Which thus is the same statement expressed in a different manner: that everything happens for the best.

Yet the why still eludes. He has stated that good intents takes into cognizance the collective transformation, while actual positive impact, and a positive consequence, can be had through collective transformation but, operating from the level of each individual. Each individual has to transform one’s own self. That is the sole duty, and the power of being the change does the rest. So, instead of carrying out the good intent outside, that has to be implemented inside first. And in fact this is how life can be lived fully—inside-out.

It is we and only we, collectively, who are the cause of all that is caused, because it is a collective life that we are leading—through the individual fulfillment of goals and desires. When this goal becomes aligned with the purpose of life—realizing and real-izing who we are—the en masse individual transformation would manifest as peace and bliss all around. No cause is outside of us, as we are fully responsible for all that is happening…even if we think we are not even remotely associated with it, nothing is remote from us.

We are intrinsically connected. When one takes a moment off from the thoughts and ‘thinks’ of those times when one’s thoughts did manifest, one would be amazed as to how thoughts indeed are creative. We know not consciously how this happens but it happens that is for sure. Presuppositions are projected and manifested and then we blame others. Yet who places those presuppositions and doubts in the conveyor belt of creation? A moment spared to ponder would remove one from wondering how ‘this’ could happen. Like it or not, all that we see are our own creation—though yes, most of the times unbeknownst to us.

Thus, the negative forces, 2-3%, what are they if not our very own projections? If one could perceive it in a manner so as to ignore the mathematical logic, the traces of the negative influences, in and of the entire lot of us, accumulates as 2-3%, which actually is a mathematical misnomer. It is the collective doubt and apprehensions and thus impacting with a magnitude defying the number it represents. The way out, thus remains the unchanged, despite change being the norm of life. The way is to transform ourselves and the rest gets taken care of. And when the whole lot of us transforms then this residue of negativity ceases to be, it loses its critical mass.


The answer that had been eluding finds its way out as the search, which began much earlier, continued as this article was embarked upon.  So ‘when’ it came in and out seems to be synchronous as only when it came out did it make its presence felt. Though how I am presented with the answer has no significance in this context, but the synchronicity has. As this too is a way of life, as life thrives in its synchronicity and we are all a part of life, moving through, with, in and as this synchronicity.

One could agree with the answer or disagree, but for yours truly this would be the answer till it evolves further. Because any negative force doesn’t have the force to topple the positive force, which is the force of divinity. It is the dormant, but not extinct negativity which erupts…and finds us blaming the so-called 2-3% of negative people for the havoc caused.

The only way out, is the way in…
