About the topic: Look at the Oyster, it is waiting for the rain water to make the pearl. When the rain water falls, she just carries the rain water into her womb and goes down into the ocean. The process happens on the rain water and the pearl reacts.
The Oyster will be waiting with the mouth wide open on the waters of the ocean. She will be just waiting for the rain water. She cannot take the salt water and make the pearl. She needs pure rain water. The moment one drop of rain water falls on her immediately she will go into the deepest layer of the ocean and she will start doing the process. She will come out with the pearl . Intensity is integrity. Usually intensity leads to solid feelings. You may be intense but you may have lost the ability to flower or you may be flowing but may have lost the intensity.
You may be intense but you may have lost the ability to flow, because you are driven by your ego. You are determined to achieve what you want but you have your own rigid idea how to get there. The other possibility is that you may be flowing but may have lost the intensity. This is the case with people who have no facts, and waste their energies getting distracted by anything that comes by. Intensity is integrity and focus. Intensity with integrity and focus is called burning intensity.
