What to expect
"What is the relationship between attention and lack of attention? - 3 August 1974 • We are educated to follow, accept and conform. This is tradition, second-hand. • When you become aware of conformity without reaction is that awareness the act of intelligence? • Does the mind realize the nature of conformity, intelligence and awareness? • I am attentive for a minute and there is no border, no time, no 'me', no problem. The whole energy is involved in that attention. This is a tremendous movement. • Attending, I can do things without effort and thought. • The mind gets tired and moves to inattention. In that state of inattention action goes on and must be conditioning. • There is attention the moment the mind is aware that it is inattentive."
