The focus of attention

[Guest guest]

Look, my thumb touches my forefinger. Both touch and are touched.

When my attention is on the thumb, the thumb is the feeler and the

forefinger – the self. Shift the focus of attention and the

relationship is reversed. I find that somehow, by shifting the focus

of attention, I become the very thing I look at and experience the

kind of consciousness it has; I become the inner witness of the

thing. I call this capacity of entering other focal points of

consciousness – love; you may give it any name you like. Pg268
