Inhaltsangabe

The Code boldly presents readers with a true, workable solution for the challenges facing our world today. Based on a new Code of Conduct that anyone can relate to, it is full of real life stories uniquely designed first, to help readers become selfempowered and more proficient at manifesting so that they are no longer at the mercy of people and forces outside themselves, and second, to provide a simple triedandtrue format for coming together in community to create peace, freedom, and the high quality living environment that everyone longs for and deserves. Tony Burroughs was living and farming in Hawaii when a mentor came to him and, over the course of fifteen years, taught him lessons he simply referred to as "The Information." Burroughs and two others formed a spiritual circle to practice the lessons provided by the mentor and distilled them into a "personal honor code" available to all people wishing to prepare for a time of great change.

The time is now at hand and Burroughs, along with thousands of others who have formed "Intenders Circles" throughout the world, is sharing a simple and powerful message: that which you are reaching toward is also reaching out toward you.

The practice is, literally, as easy as one, two, three: 1) say your intentions out loud daily, 2) go to an Intenders Circle, and 3) state that, in order for your intentions to manifest, they must serve the Highest and Best Good of the Universe, yourself, and everyone concerned.

Since there are no limits on what you can think about, there are no limits on what you can intend.

CHAPTER 1

The First Intent: Support Life

I refrain from opposing or harming anyone. I allow others to have their ownexperiences. I see life in all things and honor it as if it were my own. Isupport life.

The first time Lee Ching "came through" me, I was sitting in my favoritearmchair, having just finished my usual morning meditation. I'd stated myintention—that everything needing to be known is known on this day; that all ofmy words are clear, precise, uplifting, helpful, and fun (I added the fun part);that I am guided, guarded, and protected throughout this entire experience; andthat everything I say and do serves the highest and best good of the Universe,myself, and everyone everywhere—then I switched on a portable cassette recorderand asked myself the first question on a short list that I'd prepared inadvance. It had to do with mankind's highest priorities.

Following that, I closed my eyes and, much to my surprise, within seconds Ibegan to feel a change go on inside of me. It was very subtle at first, butthen, right away, a gentle warmth began to spread throughout my chest,accompanied by a feeling that could only be described as "compassion for allliving things." At the same time, I felt lighter, not in the physical sense, butas if I were more radiant, more luminescent. As I held my attention on thiswonderful light, it spread out in all directions from my heart, encompassing myentire body and even past the edges of my skin, so that I found myselfsurrounded by a "bubble" of light. (Later on, I learned how to expand thisbubble considerably farther, to fill the room I was in and even past the wallsof the house to the land outside and beyond.)

Meanwhile, my body began to change; my posture shifted, my facial expression wasentirely different, and the movements of my hands and arms slowed down, becomingmore graceful, as if they'd taken on a life of their own.

Just as soon as my body settled into its new stature, words—softer, moresoothing than I'd ever heard—came into my head. Initially, I was frightened torepeat them aloud, but, because I was completely alone at the time, except forthe little kitty who had settled in quietly beside me, I (he) began to speakinto the tape recorder:

"The highest priority for humanity is to support life," he said. "Your potentialas human beings is far, far greater than you presently imagine. In order for youto reach the heights of experience that await you, that you have set foryourself, and that call out to you even in this very moment, you must stayalive. You must act to perpetuate your own life, as well as the lives of allthose with whom you share your magnificent, abundant Earth."

My entire being tingled with excitement as he spoke. The only time I'd ever feltanything like this was once when I slipped out of my body while meditating in abamboo forest in Kona many years before.

"The teachings," he went on, "that are coming to you at this time are meant toreveal the true nature, the true power of your thoughts to you. Each thought youentertain either takes you closer to your joy or farther from it; and it is foryou to discern, in each moment, which of your thoughts are serving you, andwhich of your thoughts are not serving you.

"Since you are becoming that which you hold your attention upon, you would bewise to support life in all that you think and all that you say. Up until now,much has been hidden from mankind concerning the dynamics of your thoughts, andyou have not been properly taught how to think. Now, however, these teachingsare being made available to all so that you can sharpen your thinking processesand create better lives for yourselves."

He paused for a second, and I felt the twinkling of a smile cross my face. Apart of me heard the tape whirring softly and felt the cat nestled against myleg, but my primary focus remained on the warm feeling inside of me and the flowof words coming from within. There was something else going on, as well. It wasas if, somehow, between the words, he was helping me untangle eons of confusionthat had been passed down to me through my ancestral lineage.

"As you truly look to support life, you will soon see that one of the mostdetrimental things you can do is to oppose someone else. When you opposeanyone," he said, "you invite your worst fears to come alive. By taking adefensive stance against anything or anyone, you are actually creating orsetting the scene for you to be attacked. It works this way: your thoughts arealways creating your future. When you are opposing others, it is because you arepicturing someone else doing something bad to you. This is a thought, and, likeall thoughts, it is working its way into the stream of your daily experience.Whether the person you are thinking about is a grouchy neighbor, a terrorist, asoldier, or an attacker of any kind doesn't matter. What matters is that youunderstand that your thought of being attacked is going to manifest as quicklyas any other thought. You must learn that it is you who ultimately makes thechoices about which thoughts to place your attention on. It is you who invitesgoodness or chaos into your experience. It is you who is responsible for yourcreation."

I felt his compassion for humanity and what we're going through in theseturbulent times. Lee Ching had been a great warrior who, in his own time, set anexample of mercy for his people by deliberately laying his sword aside during abattle and subsequently ascending. As if he knew what I was thinking, he said:"One of the great lessons of your lives is that you attract to yourself, andmust live out in your everyday experience, that which you oppose. You must learnto allow others to go through life without your interference, and know that yourunwanted experiences will cease only when you have finally relinquished yourtendency to resist them. Your opposition to anything, be it a person or aninstitution, always makes things worse."

We talked for about an hour and he reiterated that, in the great majority ofsituations, whatever is happening does not require our participation orintervention. In fact, he said, we are usually best served by retaining ourcomposure and intending that we are guided, guarded, and protected at all times.In this way, we save our energy for when we really need it, and, at the sametime, we set an example for those around us who may be prone to emotionaloutbursts and getting themselves into trouble. He was adamant that peace begetspeace, and that those who aspire to be effective role models won't force theirbeliefs on others. They'll understand that the Universe is...
