ATTENTION!
What we give our attention to will grow. Attention is part of our greater potential and is essential in spiritual development. Give your attention to the core of your being and it will grow and expand. Attention initiates the creative process on all planes. When we give our attention to something we are channeling energy; ever felt like someone was looking at you, you could feel their presence even thought you could not readily see who it was. In this situation some will say “I felt their eyes on me.”
When we give our undivided attention to something it is called “concentration,” and I’ve heard lots of people say that they have trouble concentrating, but when you are angry there is no problem concentrating; you are fixed on the object of your anger with laser like concentration. If we could but take that same concentration which we have when we are angry and focus it into something constructive we would be great builders.
In kabbalistic thought there is a saying that we should build the Adytum; which is the inner temple of our own being, and this temple is built by silent focused attention/concentration.
Amazing how human beings seek the attention of other human beings, and some believe that negative attention is better than no attention at all, so they will act out just to get some attention. We primarily give attention with our eyes but attention can be given with all of our senses, as giving attention means that you are in touch with something; you have connected with it. Give attention to details is something which I was always told in school.
Attention is a magical property which we all possess; it is amazing what you can do with your attention. With our attention we exert our will over things and what we concentrate on will eventually reveal it’s inner workings. Attention and memory are the basis of education. We apply what we know because we have given it our attention, stored it in our memory, and it becomes second nature to us as part of our being. We take things in with our attention but we also send out things with our attention. Attention is a wonderful gift which we all have and it has a potential that goes far beyond reading this post. Attention is directly connected to awareness, and awareness is pure un-reflected light.
