Intention & Attention

All that you are is conscious awareness… aka Attention
If you don’t make an Intention
For your Attention
Then your Attention will be manipulated
by someone else’s Intention.

We live in the “Attention Economy.”
The goal of many is to keep and control your Attention.

Hence the 24 hr News designed to outrage.
Hence the algorithms designed to trigger your nervous system.

Buy. Buy. Buy… You will Feel Better :)
Fear, Fear, Fear… Believe what we tell you and you will be safe.
Trust us, we’ve never lied to you before.

Most people walk around with a heroin drip dopamine dispenser in their pocket.
Aka a “smart phone.”

Smart.

My friends, free yourself from other’s Intentions…
Choose where to put your Attention.

Choose your family and friends.
Choose your breath and body.
Choose nature and creative endeavors.

Choose not to hide from the hard feelings that tv and “smart phones” makes numb.
At first you may feel bored and irritable, but those feelings will pass.
Life is waiting for your conscious awareness of its beauty.
