Stocks will certainly fluctuate in the near term, and there will be long term trends as well. For instance, 40 years ago General Motors and General Electric were very solid investments. Those day are gone. Intention is a slippery item, I would say. Perhaps one does not always know what one's underlying intentions are?

"Military fortress" might be a tiny bit of an exaggeration. I think of it more like a metaphysical bookstore with us browsing in the aisles and chatting around the table in the back.
The ashram part, though, has some resonance. Some years ago Jim McCarty owned a rural property and there was an "intention" for people to live there and form a kind of "bring4th" community in the sense of something which might prefigure 4D. They called it "Camelot" and Carla's (now Jim's) blog continues to bear that name. How'd that work out? As I understand it, well, people didn't get along the way the planners hoped they would. I guess they should have beta tested it on the forms first?
I'm not sure it's the intentions that prevail, personally, but I could be wrong.
