• Dr. Deb Brown  Louis: This feels like a very powerful intent! Wiccans often "draw down the moon" during a full moon Louis: This feels like a very powerful intent! Wiccans often "draw down the moon" during a full moon to tap into the powers of the Moon and the Goddess/Divine. Zenmonk: From a Zen Buddhist perspective, "nothing exists outside the Buddha Mind." How can one state what the moon does or doesn't do when it is within, and a mirror of, the unlimited power of the Buddha Mind?  See more
  
• Gayle Rose  More intellectual "one upmanship". If there is no Zen Buddhist perspective what are you expressing More intellectual "one upmanship". If there is no Zen Buddhist perspective what are you expressing there Mr. Zenmonk...? It appears to me to be your "beliefs"--you expressed your beliefs of believing in attachments, suffering, unhappiness, un-wellbeing--if you don't/do believe it is/isn't so... If Louis believes his Intent will empower him and give him strength then it is so regardless if any of us "believe" it or not. Each of our "realities" is subjective.  See more

• Zenmonk G  The moon doesn't do that btw and getting what we want really isn't necessarily beneficial.
  
• Bob Ellal  It's much worse if we get what we deserve.
