In seeking to manifest itself, Spirit expresses itself as energy.

In seeking to manifest itself, Spirit expresses itself as energy. Yet, this energy is neither shapeless nor aimless. The creative urge of the Spirit is formed and delivered by thought in its totality, then expressed through intent. Intent is the force and direction of the creative urge and is the aspect of the creative will that ultimately manifests as life. Spirit through this force of will inserts its unique imprint of Self into the Pattern, giving it a form and direction that corresponds to its own energy Pattern.
