The short answer is no. Intention doesn't always result in change—at least not measurable change. Consider the large-scale experiments on intention conducted by author Lynn McTaggart. In her book The Intention Experiment (Free Press, 2007), she revealed that intention signifi cantly altered reality in several cases— but not all. Many of the experiments showed inconclusive results or no change at all. 5 As we've seen in our own lives, setting an intention can sometimes yield an obvious result. Understanding intention can help us fi gure out the secrets behind "the secret." According to Tiller, intention works because reality is actually an extension of our consciousness. He proposes a model of reality in which several layers of interconnected frequencies are tightly packed into microscopic nodal structures, which are organized in geometric, harmonic grids, and these nodal structures convert consciousness into energy. High-frequency intentions make relatively quick changes, while low-frequency thoughts or attitudes take longer to manifest change. Love may be the highest frequency of all, as divine love creates consciousness, which forms energy, which then turns into matter. 6 McTaggart describes how intention works by explaining that all beings exist interconnected within a quantum fi eld. Tiny, subatomic particles and energetic forces bend and play throughout this fi eld, zipping between the seen and unseen universes, "sewing" physical form as they go. Within this elusive and complex world, a person affects what he or she is observing—altering, and thus creating, the concrete world. Something as simple as an intention can potentially shift subatomic matter, determining the next state of affairs. 7 High-frequency intentions make relatively quick changes, while low- frequency thoughts or attitudes take longer to manifest change.
