A fantasy that arises spontaneously may not be intentional, the trouble with fantasy is that we often choose to entertain it and get lost in it, this is where intention kicks in.
Pronouns (no self / not self)
“Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.”
― Ajahn Chah
