Inner Silence as the key to the power of attention- by Castaneda
#51
It is quite simple, and is as easy or as difficult as you make it. When you examine your attention and the intent to change it you can see that within it is an expectation, a blue-print that shows when you will achieve what you have intended. Meaning that if you perceive it as happening later down the road, or beginning immediately then that is the result you are intending. It is because "time is the essence of attention'', which can also be said that time and everything in it is also the essence of your awareness, which with practice can be seen. I have grown into a position that has developed my attention as a filler, or injector of time, that is void potential before my attention focuses into it, filling it with the essence of my attention, my expectations.

I like the quote you made that says attention connects as an energy transfer. When I first realized this I sat in my room and focused on a pretty girl from town i had just met sending her my sexual attraction. The next day i went to her house and we made love and she said to me very clearly and with intense eyes "think about me some more". Later i began to see that this attention can also move other people's awareness by controlling the energy/awareness/judgements/expectations that transfer through the connected attention. Same applies for objects and everything else.

The more I stalked my attention i began to actually perceive it inside of myself and to some degrees in my visual perception. I could see my attention focusing to bring up memories and could see the memory system within me. Its impossible to explain in words however. It developed into my visual perceptions because i activated and stalked the concept that says awareness equals perception, including visual perception. I began to see that when my attention focused on an object the object would flash and vibrate slightly when my attention locked into it. My attention then merged with the values of the object or person, and any ideas i have about it change it into that form. It turns into the position that can visually see your thoughts manifesting reality around you. Which is quite amazing to see thought energy in visual form. I have managed to see many people's and spirit's conscious energy as a manifested energy that i can actually see with my eyes. Yes, it may be hard to fathom but we have the capability to perceive thoughts directly with our eyes. Now if you want to see your attention connect to an object try to realize that your attention is connecting to it and forming it into your perception form the awareness you possess about the object or person. Then if you see that awareness generates perception then you can begin to see the energy directly.

With the right awareness your attention can penetrate time itself and focus into past and future moments just by focusing your attention into that direction. You can even time travel into the past(with only your attention traveling) and move someones awareness as they are writing a book and have your awareness manifest into the book. So you write the book as you read it. Very cool. This is all because you are controlling your attention and empowering it with the awareness and intent you wish to. This is possible because of the awareness that sees your attention as a direct gateway to its focus point, and since attention is the essence of time then your attention becomes a fuel for what you are seeing/manifesting.

Hunting attention is just watching it with the intent to see and learn about it. Also the art of hunting for power in your attention and applying it into your attention. For example most people do not notice this awareness because it comes from seeing, and the awareness of judgements and expectations moving your reality, however if you pay close attention to what is inside of yourself you will find that there is a small 'voice/consciousness' inside of yourself that knows the answers to your questions already. So when you approach someone with a question if you listen as you prethink the action you can 'intuit' or see the consciousness they possess and the awareness they possess thus seeing the future before it occurs. It is seeing, and it exists already in your attention but has not been properly developed and formed yet, and so you will not see it until you begin to focus your attention on it, and intend it to form. It can then be manipulated in many ways and many different positions of awareness. The same applies for 'setting up dreaming' which is a practice i use even in the waking world, by focusing and directing my attention as the essence of time, the filler and placer of my attention into formation. It takes practice but by controlling your attention and awareness you can place everything in your world as you want it to be. First you have to see that the world is not fixated anymore but fluid, even void, then you can begin to fill this space with your attention and awareness, your values.

I hope this has helped to answer some of your questions.

silence slips you into sensation, sensation is the backdrop to awareness..it is not feeling..it is the experience of be-coming...

At the moment I still don't know what inner dialogue even is
because I cannot alter the way I perceive the world.   My theory is
that the curtains in my bedroom are really energy fields apprehended by inner dialogue
becoming the image I perceive.  In theory if I could stop internal dialogue
I should be able to undo my perception of the curtains and perceive them for
what they really are but then I suppose I would be able to percieve all energy directly : (

"At the moment I still don't know what inner dialogue even is because I cannot alter the way I perceive the world."

Not even a little bit? I don't believe you lol. Gaze at your hand while upholding silence......just loosely hold the view/feel of your hand as you gaze at it. There will likely be some subtle perceptual shifts you experience...in what you see...what you feel....a feeling of loosening of solid reality perhaps...a subtle shift in the quality of light around/within the object of your gaze. Those subtle perceptual shifts are nothing to dismiss, mon ami....they are not insignificant. They are the beginning of it all and, if followed through upon, will lead to wonderful places. It takes time, barring blasting oneself with entheogens...barring the rare individual with supreme natural talent (not me! . I'm a sllllloooooooowwww learner)

All it takes is a little optimistic experimentation with one's own awareness.

Great tip on Barry Long, Shamanka.....I like his cadence, so to speak

Agreed

Straight talk....the cadence of the nature of awareness.....radiating simply, clearly, purely and directly from the inside out, in all directions at once. Like a star in the sky

In personal experience....direct exploration/experimentation....I'm finding that the body WANTS to become aware. It was built for it......wired for it! Once a certain threshold of momentum is established, awareness begins to agglutinate throughout the body and being of its own gravity, pulling awareness to itself. It gathers itself. More and more reason to endeavor to tip the scales
