summer intentions

Almost everyone you talk to says they love summer.  The hotter, the better.  Cold hurts and heat feels great and they wish summer hot weather would last year round.
A few weeks ago I came to the realization that I don't much care for hot, humid weather.  Showering in your own sweat all day drains the life out of you and wearing clothing feels like you're suffocating under a hot, damp sponge.  Sweat pouring from every pore, dripping over your body until your shoes are filled with hot, salty fluids sounds more like a level of hell.  Staying cool is our main objective and air conditioners, fans, and swimming pool sales sky rocket to compensate for the wonderful weather we all love.

I can't be the only one who feels this way so I took a survey.  It seems the vast majority of summer worshipers openly say they love the heat but secretly admit they like cooler weather much more.  It's not popular to dislike the hot weather everyone claims they love.  It's the herd mentality to go with majority thinking and talk yourself into believing the same thing you think everyone else believes in, even though they secretly spend most of their time in activities to get some relief from the torturous heat they desired months ago.

It's a classic example of lying to yourself until you believe the lie without questioning why you spend a fortune every year for air conditioners, swimming pools, high electric bills, and trips to the shore for the sole purpose of cooling off.  Driving 100 miles in blazing heat, fighting traffic for hours to find a spot to park your stuff on a crowded beach for a day, only to turn around and fight the same traffic back home sounds like more aggravation than it's worth.  Of course, no one will admit they go there to cool off.  Ask any beach goer and you'll get the same answer... "We're going to the beach", as if that was reason enough.  When I tell people I prefer the icy shore in winter they can't imagine why, as if the only reason to be at any beach was to tan and cool off in 80 degree water.  What about the esthetics of a vacant, frozen beach to yourself with an endless horizon full of white caps?

It's the first day of summer and although I love the long, barefoot days and outdoor living, I freely admit the oppressive heat and humidity that comes with it is just as uncomfortable as winter's deep freeze.  I have no wish to go back to the cold.  Not yet.  Summer just started and I'll take the bad with the good and live with it like everyone else who still has memories of surviving the last seasons cold.

But bitching about the weather isn't my point.  It's said everyone complains about the weather but no one does anything about it.  I say that statement is wrong.  Whether we know it or not, we all take part in doing something about the weather.

We all know something about the power of suggestion and how focusing intent can move mountains.  Why not the weather?  If 2% of an organism moves in the same direction, it will carry the remaining 98%.  By august the heat and humidity is so oppressive even the die hard heat lovers begin wishing for cooler weather.  All it takes is 2% of the general population to make an intention for the same thing and it will happen.  The same thing happens during winter's coldest months when the bitter cold becomes unbearable.  At some point, the 2% critical mass make the same intention, at the same time, for warmer weather and that collective intention manifests into reality.  Not as quickly as we'd like but it happens just the same.  The problem is, humans don't have much in the way of memory recall and don't seem to remember the intent, much less connect the intent to the manifestation and the whole process of reality adjustment through critical mass is lost.

Imagine you acquire a device that will grant your every wish and the time it takes for a wish to manifest is proportional to the complexity of the wish.  Simple wishes, like finding a convenient parking space, might take seconds while more complex desires, like winning the lottery, might take quite a bit longer.
Changing the weather patterns on a continental scale could take months.  If you had such a device, and you made massive temperature change requests at the coldest and hottest days of the year, you might be responsible for the extreme range of climate you wished to change in the first place.

Before you convince yourself that we have no control over what the weather does, think about the stories we all heard about a church congregation praying for a member about to undergo an operation for cancer, or a tumor, or some such thing, and the person the congregation prayed for was cured just before the operation.  It's a miracle!  Ask a church member and they'll tell you God did it.  God's will be done!  My first question is, can you petition God with prayer?  If no, then where did this miracle come from?  If yes, then manifesting reality through collective thought is quite possible by adjusting the will of God through petition.
(religious people hate this argument)

What if the dog days of summer brings with it weeks of 98 degree stagnant heat and humidity to the point where 2% or more of the population can't take it anymore and make collective intents for cooler weather?  How long will it take for this complex intent to manifest?  We can rationalize how last winter wasn't so bad and all that summer yard work is a drag and how you miss wearing your favorite jacket.
Three months later we start thinking those 90 degree summer days weren't so bad and the process starts over again.

Why can't we get on the same page and make collective intents to fix what's wrong with the world?

Maybe another 2% already has and likes it this way.
