So about to take a walk in the woods and realize I forgot my mosquito repellent. I'm one of those people that as soon as I step one foot outside the car every mosquito within 500 ft is drawn right to me. And sure enough that's exactly what starts to happen.
I then "decide" to take a different route, a different trail that actually wasn't even here the last time I visited this area, and after a little ways in I reach a clearing and I look down to see that wrapped package of unused mosquito repellent literally at my feet.
This path has the potential for such direct and immediate rewards! It's a crime that so much crap is thrown into our lives, as well as the crap that we ourselves create, to dissuade us from following it.
Edit: And they're in good working order too!

Yea, that kind of thing happens. And even if it's very hard to explain, it still isn't convincing.
We're programmed to dismiss that kind of thing as coincidence. Even those practicing Carlos' techniques are programmed to behave like normal, prejudiced people. They just incorporate their prejudices into the frame work, so that they can keep being the same.
But wait, it gets worse than realizing intent might actually exist.
Remember all the bizarre talk of omens in the books?
I used to hate that. It's yet another posturing thing for people who haven't actually done much work.
The tall Europeans used to do it, with a euro accent. You'd be walking along with them, and they'd see a crow or something, so you now had to listen to them "virtue signaling".
They'd say something like this, but in a heavy euro deep tone of voice:
"Ooouhhhh crooow. Good omen..."
But I have to admit, if you get silent you do start to see omens.
Until then, if you live in Europe, maybe work on the accent.

I find it a good bellweather of the strength of an individuals internal dialogue. The stronger the denial, or calling it random chance, the stronger and more unshakable their internal story that tells them they are separate and disconnected is, and the harder time they'll have breaking through to actual silence.
Edit: But you're right in saying that you can also go too far and start seeing signs everywhere. But that to is a symptom of a different internal dialogue, the ego and specialness dialogue.

the ego and specialness dialogue.
I like that. Maybe we can use names like that, so I don't have to insult everyone trying to convince them to stop posturing.
Just categorize it as an element you must remove, so they don't have to feel guilty for being caught red handed.
Like tricking little kids by telling them Santa Claus doesn't like that kind of activity, so if they want the goodies, they should try not to do it.

This is what I think is actually happening when something like this occurs. Our second attention/energy body/nagual knows or has access to immensities of non-local and non-linear (temporal) information.
It knows that, unbeknownst to the driver of a trail maintence vehicle, that 2-pack of mosquito spray fell out in that field several weeks earlier. And if you can stop your incessant thinking and follow it's cues, it will lead you right to it's exact location in that field, even though you've never been there in the flesh. You just need to get out of its way.

I’ve understood intent to function in this way. There is the leading of you to the events in your environment. but there is also the events themselves. so how deep does intent go? in terms of actually intending things to happen a certain way in your life? are there any links you can provide to helping me understand the deeper mechanisms of intent and how it can be harnessed?
As I get deeper in my practice, I definitely notice my world shifting in huge ways. ways that seems unique to me, in the sense of the energetic waves that i’m producing through my magic practice. like i’m increasing my “gravity” in the field of energy. and my intent is being amplified.
so is it just like a force that works by default? and it largely only needs our energy to be redeployed in order for it to function best? as well as cleaning our intent itself, in order to choose what we manifest? which is also largely subconscious, which ofcourse, requires deeper levels of silence and mastery of perception, in order to influence those subtle energies.
I know the ultimate conclusion is to just get deeper into practice to find out for myself, which is the only way, I know. I was just looking for anything you could offer on the subject, as there is a lot of information to go through between the books and the subreddit.

There are no simple answers to those questions.
And I would wind-up sounding like a complete idiot, which I indeed am, if I tried.
So, trust in the mystery...

take my own experience as the ultimate conclusion on any matters.
As you push further, the most useful thing you can do is to continually prepare to have your expectations and certainties upended.
To bolster, not your self, but your "spirit"...for lack of a better term.
If you don't push, that won't be a concern because you'll settle for something that's a bit better than where you were. And cozier.
