Is There Intention Behind Manifestation?

Is there intention behind the play of manifestation, and are we destined to have certain encounters? Rupert says: ‘Ultimately, consciousness doesn’t have any purpose for manifestation. However, having seemed to localise itself as a finite mind, that contraction sets up a tension in the finite mind. And that intention is felt by human beings. Our desire for happiness, our desire for intimate relationship, our impulse to create is ultimately this impulse of the finite to be divested of its limitations. Inherent in each finite mind is a particular configuration of energies which will set that finite mind off seeking its true nature along a particular path, depending on the conditioning that went into its formation.’
