"Your attention is perhaps the most powerful thing that you have in life—just the power of your attention. What you're putting your attention on from moment to moment is in large part responsible for your moment to moment experience of life. What am I attending to? What am I really giving my life to? Because what you put your attention on is what you're giving your life to—your life force, your heart, your mind—it's all sort of directed by attention.
And so when we want to connect with the spirit of things, our true nature, our deeper nature, our nature beyond our ideas about ourselves and each other, who am I beyond all the ideas I have about myself? Who are you? Who are we beyond the ideas we have about us, including beyond the spiritual ideas that we have about us? Can we actually experience ourselves, can we experience each other, can we experience the world in a sort of very unmitigated way—a way that's not being interpreted by our own conditioning, by our own mental habits?
And so we can start to think, 'oh, how do I do that?' and it can lead you into more and more complicated thinking, but actually it's much more simple than getting a great strategy..."
