When we are where we are, when we are that we are and who we are, we can utilize the second pillar of love. This is the much publicized and rarely-utilized power of attention. We recognize its lack as a disorder and easily diagnose it in children, but the contagion is widespread and it is a rare adult that is exempt. Yet the need, the crying need for it is obvious. Without it nothing can be studied, learned or successfully accomplished.
Attention is the key that unlocks all human potential.
It is the greatest force we have. Through the act of attention, we focus and direct all our awareness, all our intelligence, all our being. Whatever we turn our attention to is illuminated. Light is shed, and under that light things thrive. When we are without attention or lacking the ability to direct it we are weak and suggestible, mere puppets at the mercy of every passing wind.
