The Case of Intentional vs. In-Tensional

Intentional: As the Court of Quaker Opinion is well-versed in the contemporary importance of intentional living, we look to a new age of spirituality.

In-Tensional: The danger of your mantra is shown by the many New Agers using intentional spirituality to further their worldly aims and success.

Intentional: There has always been a belief that the good will prosper in this life. Ours is the way of having that belief become reality.

In-Tensional: Beliefs need to be rooted in truth, lest the reality become a self-willed determination.

Intentional: And what is wrong with an enlightened spirituality determining the outcome of personal, if not world, events?

In-Tensional: Only that it hasn't proved worthy of holding the divine-human struggle in tension. The same struggle that was biblically seen in the lives of Jacob-Israel and Job, not to mention Jesus.

Intentional: Perhaps the God of Jacob-Israel and Jesus was more imagination than reality?

In-Tensional: You are looking in the mirror, Friend.
