Psalms – Intentions
What are intentions, what are they used for, and how should one work with them?
Information can be found in the article:
800 Intentions for Cleansing

This is a topic for advanced practitioners. We select a psalm and can transform it into intentions while reading it directly, as I am doing now. If we lack experience, we can first rewrite the text beforehand.
It is worth paying special attention to the penitential and supplicatory psalms:
3, 5–7, 11, 13, 16, 17, 22, 23, 25–28, 31, 35, 38, 39, 41–44, 51, 54–62, 64, 69, 70, 71, 74, 77, 79, 80, 82, 83, 85, 86, 88, 90, 102, 108, 109, 120, 125, 130, 131, 137, 140–143.
Especially Psalm 22, which may become a continual affirmation manifested in one’s life:
“My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Far from my deliverance are the words of my groaning.”
“Many bulls surround me;
strong bulls of Bashan encircle me.
They open wide their mouths against me,
like a ravening and roaring lion.”
Quotes from other psalms:
“God has forgotten, He has hidden His face; He will never see it.” (Ps 10:9–11)
“Those who seek my life set traps for me; those who desire my harm utter threats; all day long they devise deceit.” (Ps 38:13)
“He says in his heart, ‘God has forgotten; He hides His face; He will never see it.’” (Ps 10:3–4)
“In His wrath the Lord will swallow them up, and fire will consume them. Their offspring You will destroy from the earth, and their descendants from among the children of men.” (Ps 21:9–11)
“O God whom I praise, do not remain silent!
For wicked and deceitful mouths are opened against me;
they speak against me with lying tongues.
They surround me with hateful words
and attack me without cause.” (Ps 109)
We may discover and bring to light relationships and patterns in which we expect God to:
– destroy others;
– be ruthless;
– remain silent;
– be harsh toward us or others;
so that later we are not surprised when He does not respond while the Soul lives with such intentions and beliefs.
Alongside the Psalms, one may also work with “The Song of the Soul”, rewritten as intentions or expressed as intentions through the technique of the bow.

“visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands of those who love Me and keep My commandments.”
This is not from a psalm, but it is also a projection of our own patterns onto the Creator.
[11:50:08 PM] Bath:
Or perhaps not the Creator,
but someone else,
or an adaptation to the expectations of the masses.
[11:50:18 PM] Bartek:
That too.

Looking at it differently, karma and rebellion may function similarly to a homeopathic remedy. There are only trace amounts, almost nothing, but when it erupts within a Soul, three incarnations later it may crush a person to the ground.
For example, as mentioned here, after three generations (incarnations) of a Soul, its future personality may reap the bitter harvest of present deeds.

There are many interpretations.
One may understand this as a group of Souls whose burdens resonate with one another gathering together and, based on prior agreements, incarnating within a given family line (arranging themselves through three or four generations, and sometimes even further).
Souls with similar interests, burdens, and intentions group together, aligning themselves with particular experiences.
If a group of Souls with idolatrous intentions gathers, carrying within themselves the image of a punishing God, they will naturally fulfill that ideal—even if their incarnated personalities consciously think quite differently.
Moreover, one’s own Soul may attempt to take upon itself the guilt of its “ancestors” and strive to atone for something it never actually committed—three or four generations back, or even further—becoming a sufferer for an entire generation, or even many generations.
In the end, it may turn out that what happened was simply an adoption of ancestral patterns.
As Sławek pointed out, this may also operate through the deeds of the Soul in its previous incarnations.
However, the harvesting of consequences may already occur on the basis of actions performed in this very incarnation. It may turn out that the current personality is merely deepening channels that were carved long ago by burdens resulting from specific deeds and intentions.
For example, a personality may neither smoke, drink alcohol, nor use intoxicants, while the Soul does. The incarnation of such a Soul already experiences the consequences of this condition through relationships with others and through encounters with situations that should not be taking place.
And when one begins exploring spirituality, karma, and enlightenment, an entire spectrum of experiences from previous incarnations may descend at a dangerous pace—not merely from three incarnations ago, but from many more.
“As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his hand, he put to death the servants who had killed his father the king. But he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, where the Lord commanded: ‘Fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor sons for their fathers; each shall die for his own sin.’” (2 Kings)
Nevertheless, Scripture does contain passages that speak directly about punishment for the sins of one’s forefathers. Here are a few:
“The Lord your God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.” (Exodus 20:5)
“The Lord… visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and fourth generation.” (Exodus 34:7)
“The Lord punishes the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.” (Numbers 14:18)
“I am a God visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation.” (Deuteronomy 5:9)
However, within the same Bible—and sometimes even within the same books—we find other statements by the inspired authors regarding this issue.
For example, in the Book of Jeremiah we read:
“In those days they shall no longer say, ‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes, and the children’s teeth are set on edge.’ But everyone shall die for his own sin.” (Jeremiah 31:29–30)
Likewise, the prophet Ezekiel writes:
“As I live, declares the Lord God, this proverb shall no longer be used in Israel. Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul that sins shall die.” (Ezekiel 18:3–4)
In Deuteronomy 24:16 we find the same principle of individual responsibility:
“Fathers shall not be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers. Each shall be put to death for his own sin.”
As can be seen from these passages, this does not refer to the literal personal sin of the fathers being punished in their children, but rather to the bad example set by the fathers, which influences the upbringing of their children. Those children, acting similarly to their fathers, die “for their own sin.”
Moreover, the passages often cited by supporters of “intergenerational healing” as proof of generational sin have continuations that are frequently omitted.
For example, the passage from Exodus stating:
“visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation”
continues:
“but showing steadfast love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.” (Exodus 20:5–6)
Another passage from the same book portrays Yahweh as visiting punishment upon descendants, yet the same God is:
“merciful and gracious, abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands.” (Exodus 34:6–7)
Likewise, in the Book of Numbers:
“The Lord punishes the sins of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generation,”
but at the same time He is:
“abounding in steadfast love, forgiving iniquity and transgression.” (Numbers 14:18)
Thus, the concept of a “generational sin” stands in tension with the truth about Divine Mercy and God’s forgiving Love.
Even if the people of the Old Covenant saw various misfortunes as God’s punishment for the sins of their ancestors, this understanding does not have the same application to the people of the New Covenant.

Books such as the Torah, the Bible, the Quran, and other so-called “holy” scriptures are literary works written under the influence of Souls that regarded themselves as gods, yet in reality they have little in common with the true law of God, the Giver of Life. Of course, some content may be close to His will, but who is wise enough to determine which parts? Once again, the issue of an intermediary appears—something we are trying so hard to avoid.

The books of gods are more characteristic of India, Egypt, or Scandinavia than of Israel. The fact that many people carry the karma of being a living god does not mean that those who wrote the Torah or other scriptures were ultimately worshipping themselves, substituting themselves for the Creator in every verse.
Attributing a negative trait to God, for example saying, “God deceived me,” does not mean that He possesses that trait, that He is a deceiver, nor does it necessarily imply bad intentions on the part of those making such claims. Rather, it stems from ignorance of the law of karma and from distortions created by the Soul.

[10:28:56 PM] Grzegorz:
Yes—but do you follow the formula given there, or do you create your own in order to fit the verse?
You know, I have only looked at it a little so far. For now, I need to organize it in my mind before I can do it smoothly. Besides, this seems more like work for professionals.
[10:32:20 PM] Mirka:
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the man — INTENTION (IN)
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked — IN
nor stand in the path of sinners — IN
nor sit in the seat of mockers — IN
- your own interpretations
- equivalents
For example:
Of myself, my Soul, our entire being, existence, creation, and correspondingly beyond ourselves, contributing and not contributing to our own and others’
being and not being happy beings, entities, creations who among other things commune with the Creator, with gods, deities, beings, entities, creations of every kind, level, and gender, and not only them.
After decoding the first verse:
A request to the Creator to erase the equivalents,
because many interpretations and translations have arisen, and it is not always known what the original text actually said.
[10:34:32 PM] Grzegorz Janicki:
Actually, yes—that could be.
[10:35:49 PM] Mirka:
Psalm 1
2 But his delight is in the Law of the Lord,
and on His Law he meditates day and night.
For example:
Of myself, my Soul, our entire being, existence, creation, and correspondingly beyond ourselves, contributing and not contributing to our own and others’
state and non-state in which we delight in the laws of the Lord, earthly laws, astral laws, extra-terrestrial laws, the Creator’s laws, and the laws of beings, entities, and creations of every kind, level, and gender.
Or:
Of myself, my Soul, our entire being, existence, creation, and correspondingly beyond ourselves, contributing and not contributing to our own and others’
contemplation and non-contemplation of laws of every kind and level—earthly, astral, divine, and of the Creator—as well as topics concerning religions, sects, philosophical schools, enlightenment, and more.
One can create even more intentions from every verse by adding scholarly interpretations or personal interpretations.
Intentions can also be structured differently.
Likewise, it is worthwhile to decode the use of names such as:
Lord, Adonai, Yahweh, Jehovah
when referring to God, the Giver of Life / the Creator.
[10:46:13 PM] Grzegorz:
I already have plenty of other intentions to work through, but thanks for the guidance.
[10:46:23 PM] Mirka:
And how would you formulate an intention from:
“who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked”
in your own way?
[10:50:20 PM] Grzegorz:
Of myself, my Soul, our entire being, existence, creation, and correspondingly beyond ourselves, contributing and not contributing to our own and others’
following the counsel of wicked, evil, false, and unworthy people, Souls, beings, entities, and creations, and experiencing all consequences thereof.
[10:50:37 PM] Mirka:
Then add the negations and you have an intention.
[10:51:08 PM] Grzegorz:
Aren’t there too many negations in these intentions?
[10:51:33 PM] Mirka:
You can make the negations a separate intention.
The important thing is to know what you are saying and understand its meaning.
[10:52:35 PM] Grzegorz:
Especially when I was working on intentions regarding a multidimensional being—I kept losing the thread.
I had to concentrate hard to understand what was being discussed.
One intention was three-quarters of a page long.
[10:53:51 PM] Mirka:
You can also formulate an intention like:
Our following the counsel of people, Souls, beings, entities, and creations of every kind, level, and gender, among them the wicked, evil, false, unworthy, and those acting against the will of the Creator, and our causing others to follow such a path together with us.
Or:
Our following the counsel of people, Souls, beings, entities, and creations of every kind, level, and gender, among them the wicked, evil, false, unworthy, and those acting against the will of the Creator,
and our being victims and perpetrators of such beings, entities, and creations.
Or:
Our following the counsel of people, Souls, beings, entities, and creations of every kind, level, and gender, among them the wicked, evil, false, unworthy, and those acting against the will of the Creator,
and
our giving advice of every kind and level to all beings, entities, and creations so that we ourselves and others become wicked, evil, false, righteous, noble, acting either in accordance with or against the Creator, and more.

Similarly to JHWH, it is beneficial during the bowing practice to decode calling God by names such as Krishna, Osiris, Brahma, Odin, or various female fertility deities. The situation can look very different depending on the context.
A separate theme emerging from the darkness of history is the idea of every Soul being a god to its own personality.
As Monika once said, one could write an entire book about all the possible combinations…

Lidia:
I have come to the conclusion that during the last month it was mainly the intentions derived from the Psalms that completely knocked me flat. It truly takes exceptional talent to choose exactly those Psalms that are so “rich” in content for intention work.
I think I have already completed the most difficult ones, but I have absolutely no certainty about that.
Sławomir Majda:
Have you already completed all 130 pages of Psalms?
I work through only about 10–15 lines per week because of the flood of other topics. I do not work selectively by jumping from one Psalm to another; instead, I process the verses consecutively, Psalm by Psalm. Otherwise, something might be missed.
At this pace, it may take me several years to complete the work.
