There's a very famous saying that I apply to all uses of intent: "The road to  
hell is paved with good intentions."  Intention is not a vehicle that can be  
used to control outcome to any certain degree....all it is is knowing what  
you want to happen...it does not mean that the outcome will be anything like  
what you *intended*.  That's the inherent fault of using intent.
 
If we're talking control, and true control, will is a safer, easier to clean  
up alternative to intentions.  Will has more control over the outcome as well  
as the vehicle.  Perhaps I do not revel in bliss daily, but I do not wish to  
do that.  To me the divine is not a drug to go to to get high.  It is a  
friend, a co-worker, an advisor.  To relegate the divine to a drug for my own  
enjoyment rather than doing the work that is asked of me seems highly  
disrespectful, if not downright blasphemous, IMHO.  So while I *could*  
experience this bliss, I choose not to.  Too much to be done to re-balance  
mother earth.
