- As goes your attention, so comes your experience. As goes your attention, so comes your possibilities.
- All possibilities already exist within consciousness.
- Instead of being aware of all of our relationships, we presently think about our relationships.
- We presently experience the world only from the outside-in, whereby the outside world must line up with ideas of how events should unfold. In reality, our experience comes from the inside-out.
- The world is not interested in human beings developing attention. The world is interested in developing inattention.
- Thoughts about how the future should be are making you unhappy now.
- Your possibilities are limited as long as they are handed to you by reactions. Possibilities are greater when you are aware of reactions.
- Tension is the negative effect of unconscious attention.
- Your idea of success is the source of your suffering. Consider that in connection to the attention exercises below.
