The Zoom of Your Awareness · Peak Focus & Broad Relations
⁘ “Focal lengths of awareness. Narrow-band and broad-band. In terms of traditions of meditation: Concentration meditation, one-pointed singular attention. Then mindfulness, open awareness meditation. These are not something exclusive to the practice of meditation. Focal lengths of awareness are present in our everyday lives. At times your attention is in a tight zone. Then you step back and reflect on the situation as a whole. Recognize the spectrum of your attention.”
Focal lengths of awareness.
Whatever does that include?
We have narrow-band, we have broad-band
and we have middle-band.
In terms of traditions of meditation
you typically find two types.
There is concentration meditation,
one-pointed singular attention,
and you have mindfulness,
open awareness meditation,
a broad field of attention.
Now these are not something exclusive
to the practice of meditation.
They are also focal lengths of awareness
present in our everyday lives.
At times your attention
is exclusively in a particular zone,
particular concern domain, field of awareness.
And on the other hand you step back,
reflect on the situation as a whole.
You map the relations between things in your life.
You integrate, all right?
