Attention attention attention.... this was the mantra of the writer Peter Matthiessen. And he was right. Attention is everything. But slowly, today, it is being eroded and destructured by corporate morons who empty their techno-trash upon us every year. This trash combined with multi-media and multi-everything serves to diminish one's attention by overlaying it with distraction and entertainment. Entertainment however, if you know your etymologies, is nothing more than a devious form of tantric indoctrination that replaces your attending with a glut of frivolous distractions. As such, we see nothing except what they want us to see. So, when you stop and you start attending, when your sense become cleansed by not kowtowing to a moronic technology that is not 'the body in communication with the cosmos', you are sometimes startled by how much and what you can see.
