Does Awareness Have Intention?

A woman, who describes the power of her intention during meditation, asks if intention comes from awareness or if it is neutral. Rupert responds that it is not that awareness has intention in the way that we seem to have it, but it is legitimate to say that it has intention using the metaphorical case of John Smith and King Lear, whereby King Lear can trace his way back to his true identity of John Smith through self-enquiry. King Lear appears to have intention by this practice, but it is true only from King Lear's illusory point of view, and ultimately comes from the pull generated by John Smith, his true nature.
