Pure Intention Auditing

Central to Rabia's spiritual path was the constant examination of intention—she taught that acts of worship or community mean nothing if motivated by fear of punishment or desire for reward. Pure Intention Auditing applies this rigor to intentional communities through regular individual and collective reflection. Members periodically review their participation: Are they seeking status, control, or belonging? Are they serving others or primarily themselves? This practice requires vulnerability and honesty. Facilitators guide members through questions that surface hidden motivations without judgment, helping each person realign with their deepest values and the community's shared purpose. When done skillfully, Pure Intention Auditing prevents resentment, gossip, and power struggles by bringing unconscious motivations into light. This practice honors Rabia's teaching that sustainable community requires continuous spiritual housekeeping and honest self-examination.
