Wolf, would you please say more on this? I've been able to balance 1st and 2nd attention, for brief periods of time. I find that the first attention seems to have a stronger 'gravitational' pull, so 2nd attention is more elusive, but not unattainable while awake, as we are speaking of waking attention (not dreaming). Inner silence is a key boost to access second attention. Now when speaking of 3rd its like even more removed from 2nd...is that it, that each level exerts more 'gravity' on first attention which seeks dominance (related to habit I think)? Just putting thoughts out here so you see what I'm asking about. I use the word gravity only to allude to the feeling.
