Hmmm... maybe this is just too ambitious.

To talk about unconditioned attention is somehow to want the

attention to be unconditioned, which means that we put a condition

to attention, namely: it must be unconditioned ;-)

To me attention starts gently, through watching whetever is asking

for attention, then letting it enlarge itself naturally to see,

hear, smell, to feel the body sensations, tensions, to feel the

sensations flowing through the body, to watch some particular

thoughts and the whole movement of thought...
