INTENTIONALITY

"Intentionality" is the active part of "being" which corresponds to the "will" in biological life, it usually exists before any thoughts we have of a specific kind appear, it compels us to grow from the time we are a baby and gives us a sense of purpose up until the present moment as you are reading this text. Intentionality makes every mental thought or action aim towards a purposive goal, or specific point, biologically we are set this way unless we choose to manipulate it by the use of free will, and will-power. "being" also has a passive, receptive side which is more empathic and sensitive to changes, the amount of dimensions a person has in their being and perceptions depends entirely on their desire to change themselves, our results in life are proportionate to desire, and action in all that we do, if a person wants to develop more dimensions to their being and increase their perceptions, they first have to have the desire to develop them. "The intentionality of being" can objectify our feelings or thoughts in an abstract way in such a manner that we physically respond to them, such as doubt, and fears, and joys which affect our conduct, I used the word objectify because this process can give us hallucinations once they have gone past the abstract phase of their development and become more mentally concrete, this happens more to people who have some kind of additional psychic power beyond the normal amount. Ideally our psyches or minds should be like close to perfect working systems, but yet they are interrupted by the intentionality of our imagination and wills. In my introductory essay on multi-perception I mentioned that many perceptions can be developed and used simultaneously depending on what perceptions are needed at that point in time in whatever situations we are in, it can only really be brought about by intentionality and its use by doubling, and then tripling its force and so on, as I have written already it is like many focused beams of intentionality working together. The intentionality of consciousness is directed towards the outside world, it is aimed towards the "objective reality" of objects and things, and it is therefore the aspect of consciousness which is most in touch with the faculty of reason, intentionality is the aspect of consciousness which is positional and exhausts itself in its efforts directed outwardly and objectively, it can also be said to lack stability. The psyche or consciousness as a whole needs stability and a foundation to work from as such, which one might add is the subjective unpositional and stationary aspects of consciousness. One cannot say that all the aspects of consciousness are aimed towards objective reality, it is also necessary to describe the aspects of consciousness that are geared towards or reside in subjective reality. "Subjective reality" are all the feelings we have as well as the aspects of consciousness which contains our inner world or inner life of the imagination, emotions, and intuition which are just as important as the faculty of reason or intentionality are, and this is the main reason why all morality and ethics should be based on "reason" and "emotion" in equal measure, because one is just as crucial and fundamental as the other. The Imagination, emotions, and the intuitive aspects of consciousness are more understanding in their cognitions and assessments pertaining to the arational, and irrational and groundless aspects of reality than the faculty of reason is on its own, and feelings and emotions are therefore just as relevant in all assessments of reality and truth as the faculty of reason is on its own, and therefore feelings and emotions are just as important as reason is in morality and ethics aswell as in all assessments of reality in general. It is because of the impulsive and rigid aspects of intentionality that we select in our minds what we want to perceive when we scan any given situation in life, and this is one of the reasons why their is always a discrepancy between how we perceive things in any given situation and what actually occured in that situation in life, and also how it looked, or what the weather was like and so forth, in situations some people tend to remember details a lot, others remember the general outcome of the situation and a few other things, highly emotional people mostly remember the general feeling of the situation etc. Experiments have proven that intentionality, and our behaviour in general begins in the subconscious, therefore all so-called conscious decisions, strange behaviour, and accidents due to instinct have already been decided upon by the subconscious, in a sense it could be said that we live more instinctually than we would like to believe, and our behaviour is not as highly consciously decided as we would like to believe it is, our instincts it must be pointed out are usually influenced by our environment, and our situation in life due to prior causes, and our mental, and emotional state in general, the instincts in biological life were shaped by evolution, and adaptation and constitute an immense part of our behaviour, biology, and instinct is stronger than conscious reason.
