"We hold the images of the world with our attention. Let your attention go from the images of the world. If you don't focus your attention on the world, the world collapses. Instead of fighting to focus, let go of the images by gazing fixedly at distant hills, or by gazing at water, like a river, or by gazing at the clouds."
Attention is the secret which can hold us prisoners or break us free. Gazing, walking with your eyes crossed looking at the horizon, and most of all the practices DJ taught CC were all taught in order to distract the fixation of our attention from what encumbers us so we can have that moment of clarity and space to choose for ourselves instead of letting what we're fixed on lead our perception, choices, feelings etc..
