Attention: A Key Feature of Consciousness From the moment we wake up we come across millions of stimuli but only some of them are grasped by our focused attention. The stimuli that we did not direct our attention to becomes an undifferentiated bundle that falls into oblivion. Scientists continue to debate and experiment in order to pinpoint its exact inner workings. Nevertheless, attention is involved in the selective directedness of our mental lives, which is crucial for all sort of things – from practical to spiritual, for if there was no such directedness towards the world, we would be inert. According to psychologist and philosopher William James, attention “is the taking possession of the mind, in clear and vivid form, of one out of what may seem several simultaneously possible objects or trains of thoughts… It implies withdrawal from some things in order to deal effectively with others.” Day to day, we switch our attention from one thing to another: from our thoughts to the car that is passing by, from a memory to the possible future, from listening to the radio and talking on the phone. Sometimes, we even put our attention at places that we don’t want to! The thing is, attention is the gate where we decide what things enter our mind, therefore I think it is worthwhile to take time, and think where we want to direct our mental activities. The things that are relevant to us will catch our attention, which is for certain. But there is a risk involved in only focusing on things that are relevant, because we can shut ourselves from everything else. We do not see the world as it is, rather we see the world that we are looking for! The amount of information that we can process is also limited; only but a fraction reaches our consciousness and it is generally the things that we pay attention to. One of the most popular takes on attention describes it as some sort of bottleneck. According to this view, attention is the necessary mechanism that allows us to attend to the large amount of sensual input delivered to our mental apparatus. If we did not have this filter, the sheer volume of information would otherwise “overheat” our mind. Just like a computer, which has a certain amount of processing capabilities, our minds can only manage a certain amount of thoughts or details. There are other theories on attention, for example, the “Feature integration theory.” According to this theory, attention gives rise to perception, and “binds” parallel channels of stimuli. For example, when we see and grab a cup, there are two different features of the cup that are being delivered to our visual and the tactile senses correspondingly. Attention is what allows us to take the tactile and visual information and merge it into one object; a “cup”. We will not occupy ourselves with the etiology (i.e. the study of its origin) rather, we shall take a look into some of the important aspects of Attention. Different kinds of attention There are many types of attention, for example, attention can be goal-oriented or stimulus driven. In one, we are attending to a specific thing; in the other we are receptive. The things that “catch” our attention can come from within, or from outside. Attention and perception are deeply related Experiments have shown that perception does not necessarily precede attention, rather they are interwoven. We perceive what we direct our attention to, and vice versa. What we think is a crystalline world, reality is but a product of where we direct our attention. In Daniel Simons words, “We see the world not as it is, but rather as it isn’t.” We are not as attentive as we think we are Because attention allows us to access only but a tiny fraction of what is going on, we miss out much more than we “capture”. Check out the “monkey business illusion” in the below video – Even though “weird” things happen around us, sometimes, because we are looking for something else, we fail to recognize them. This is because our mental directedness is very specific. In this sense, perhaps, the things that we miss out aren’t weird, just unsearched for. Our mind is so focused on requirements of mostly social nature, that we cannot really take time to look around and allow the things to speak for themselves. Think about it, in our daily life, where do we put our attention? Sometimes we are so immersed in our thoughts that we fail to get in touch with what is out there. In this following video, we can see how much we can miss out and fail to recognize the more unusual events. Attention and free will are intimately linked It has been long noted by many, that the relationship of volition and attention is an intimate one. We have the power to place our attention in certain specific aspects of experience. For example, take the word: tree. We can put attention to the chirping birds on the tree, but also, to what the word refers. In the same way, perhaps, we cannot influence the configuration of our surroundings, but we can definitely put attention on whatever aspects we want. Attention is flexible and trainable. Let us put it where it´s worth it. References and further reading Attention and intention working miracles with awareness Attention and Intention, Decoded! Voluntary and involuntary attention The Role of Attention Attention Thank you so much: Comments Attention is spiritual and of love, if we remove our judging by appearances. To explain, being ‘attentive’ at a billiard table while discerning (aiming) the invisible paths of the billiard balls and in it’s discovery is a spiritual function. It is being receptive to ‘what is’. Receptivity is neither active, nor passive. Receptivity is Devine, for it is non-dual. Attentiveness is reverent asking and “thou shall receive”. For example, floating on water is neither active or passive; it is attentive. We are attentive to an invisible power called buoyancy. Pure attentiveness is also like meditation or non-petitionary prayer where all calculative thoughts have ceased and one is completely receptive to inspiration; where ‘ideas obtain”. Most young children are open to CueSports like a ‘duck to water’. Before children are mainstreamed mis-educated to a natural man; they are attentive, receptive, non-judgemental, and enthusiastic, to which all these are pathways to the spiritually Devine Mind in Grace. We may think we understand the art of paying attention, but unfortunately most of the time we mistake attention for judgment. Attention is not critical; judgment is. As we begin to pay attention to something, we begin to criticize it, evaluate it, categorize it, reject it, fear it, etc. This is judgment; not attention. In this world, we are mostly unconsciously judging, not having ‘pure’ attention with our ‘payment’. Natural man has no receptivity. The Bible clearly says, “Natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; neither can he know them, for they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14). To be receptive, we must pay attention; “like a little child”. The ‘payment’ in pure valid attentiveness is without judgment. As the Zen Master tells us to be, “Erase yourself, utterly”. In similar wisdom; the Bible says, “Let thy eye be single”. (Matt. Pure attention without judgment is reverent, patient and kind discovered by neuroscience of consciousness which leads to happiness, love and wisdom. CueSports have been found to provide the purist and most difficult form of attentive meditation. we begin to need more precision when using english to discuss awareness, mind, consciousness, thought … english is very clunky, very imprecise, at the moment .. sanskrit worked out very finely tuned distinctions that make it one of the best languages upon which to research mind/neuroscience interests .. attention is not a feature of consciousness, as example .. it is a feature of awareness .. consciousness is the ground state upon or within which these activities occur .. these distinctions will become more important in coming decades

Pozornost: Ključno obilježje Svijesti Od trenutka kada smo probuditi nailazimo na milijune podražaja, ali samo neki od njih su shvatili naš usredotočene pažnje. Poticaji koje nismo usmjeravaju našu pozornost na postaje nediferenciranu bala koja pada u zaborav. Znanstvenici i dalje rasprave i eksperiment kako bi se naglasile svoje točne unutarnji ustroj. Ipak, pozornost je uključen u selektivnom usmjerenosti naših mentalnih života, što je presudno za sve vrste stvari – od praktičan za duhovna, jer ako nema takva usmjerenost prema svijetu, bismo biti inertan. Prema psiholog i filozof William James, pa “je da posjedovanje uma, jasnim i živopisan obliku, jedne od onoga što se može činiti i nekoliko istovremeno mogućih objekata ili vlakove misli ... To podrazumijeva povlačenje iz nekih stvari kako bi se učinkovito nositi s drugima.” Dan za danom, smo prebacili našu pozornost s jedne stvari na drugu: iz naših misli na automobil koji se prolazi, iz memorije na moguću budućnost, od slušanja radija i pričaju na telefon. Ponekad, čak smo stavili našu pozornost na mjestima koje ne žele! Stvar je, pozornost vrata gdje ćemo odlučiti što stvari koje ulaze naš um, Stoga mislim da je vrijedno da se vrijeme, i mislim gdje želimo usmjeriti naše mentalne aktivnosti. Stvari koje su relevantne za nas će uhvatiti pozornost, što je sigurno. No, tu je rizik koji su uključeni u samo s naglaskom na stvari koje su relevantne, jer se možemo isključiti od svega ostalog. Mi ne vidimo svijet kao što je to, a vidimo svijet da smo u potrazi za! Količina informacija koje možemo obraditi također je ograničen; ali samo djelić doseže našu svijest i to je uglavnom stvari koje smo obratiti pozornost na. Jedan od najpopularnijih poprima pozornosti opisuje ga kao neku vrstu usko grlo. Prema ovom gledištu, pozornost potrebno mehanizam koji omogućuje nam da prisustvuju velikom količinom senzualne ulaz dostavljen našem mentalnom aparatu. Ako nismo imali taj filter, Ogromna količina informacija inače "pregrijavanja" naš um. Baš kao i računala, koja ima određenu količinu obrade sposobnosti, naši umovi mogu upravljati samo određenu količinu misli i detalja. Postoje i druge teorije o pozornosti, na primjer, the “Značajka teorija integracije.” Prema ovoj teoriji, pozornost dovodi do percepcije, i "veže" paralelnih kanala podražaje. Na primjer, kad vidimo i zgrabite šalicu, postoje dvije različite karakteristike šalice koje se isporučuju naš vizualni i taktilni osjeća odgovarajući. Pozornost je ono što nam omogućuje da se taktilno i vizualne informacije i spojiti ih u jedan objekt; "cup". Mi se neće baviti etiologije (tj.. Studija svog podrijetla) radije, ćemo pogledati u neke od važnih aspekata Pažnja. Različite vrste pozornosti Postoje mnoge vrste pozornosti, na primjer, pozornost može biti usmjerene prema cilju ili poticaj pogon. U jednom, mi smo pohađaju na određenu stvar; U drugom smo prijemčivi. Ono što "uhvatiti" naša pozornost može doći iznutra, ili izvana. Pozornost i percepcija su duboko povezani Pokusi su pokazali da je percepcija ne mora prethoditi pozornost, a oni su utkani. Mi percipiramo ono što usmjeriti pozornost na, i obratno. Ono što mi mislimo da je kristalni svijet, Stvarnost je samo produkt gdje smo usmjeriti našu pažnju. U Daniel Simons riječi, “Vidimo svijet ne kao što je to, nego što to nije.” Mi nismo kao pažljiv kao što mislimo da jesmo Zbog pozornost nam omogućuje pristup, ali samo mali dio onoga što se događa, možemo propustiti mnogo više nego što smo "uhvatiti". Check out "Monkey Business iluziju" u videu ispod – Iako "čudne" stvari događaju oko nas, ponekad, jer mi smo u potrazi za nešto drugo, mi ih ne prepoznaju. To je zato što je naša mentalna usmjerenost je vrlo specifičan. U tom smislu, mo, stvari koje smo propustite nije čudno, Samo za unsearched. Naš um tako da je usmjeren na zahtjeve uglavnom socijalne prirode, da mi stvarno ne mogu uzeti vremena da pogledate oko sebe i dopuštaju stvari govoriti za sebe. Razmislite o tome, u našem svakodnevnom životu, odakle smo stavili našu pažnju? Ponekad smo toliko uronjeni u našim mislima koje ne uspiju doći u dodir s onim što je vani. U ovom videu sljedećem, možemo vidjeti koliko možemo propustiti i ne prepoznaju više neobične događaje. Pozornost i slobodna volja intimno su povezani To je odavno primijetio mnogi, da je odnos volje i pažnje je intimna jedan. Imamo moć da svoju pozornost u nekim specifičnim aspektima iskustva. Na primjer, uzeti riječ: stablo. Možemo staviti pozornost na cvrkut ptica na stablu, ali, onome što se riječ odnosi. Na isti način, mo, ne možemo utjecati na konfiguraciju našeg okruženja, ali mi definitivno može staviti pozornost na bilo aspekti želimo. Pozornost je fleksibilan i vaspitati. Neka nas staviti ga gdje njega je vrijedno toga. Reference i dalje čitanje Pozornost i namjera radne čuda sa sviješću Pozornost i namjera, Dekodirani! Dobrovoljno i prisilno pozornost Komentari Pozornost je duhovna i ljubavi, ako smo uklonili našu sudeći po nastupima. Objasniti, da 'pozorno’ na biljarski stol, dok uviđavan (ciljajući) nevidljive staze na biljarski loptice iu to otkriće je duhovna funkcija. To je bio osjetljiv na 'ono što je'. Prijemčivost nije ni aktivan, niti pasivna. Prijemčivost je Devine, jer je non-dual. Pozornosti je poštovanja i molba “Ti će primiti”. Na primjer, pluta na vodi nije ni aktivni ili pasivni; to je pažljiv. Mi smo pozorni na nevidljive snage zove uzgona. Čista pozornosti je također poput meditacije ili ne moli molitvu u kojoj su svi calculative misli su prestale, a jedan je u potpunosti osjetljiv na inspiraciji; gdje su 'ideje dobivanje”. Većina djeca su otvoreni za CueSports poput 'patke na vodi'. Prije su djeca usmjeravaju mis-obrazovani u prirodnom čovjeku; oni su pozorni, osjetljiv, neosuđujuća, i entuzijastični, da svi koji su putevi na duhovno Devine uma u Milosti. Možemo misliti razumijemo umjetnost obraća pažnju, ali nažalost većinu vremena smo pogrešno pozornost na sud. Pažnja nije kritična; Presuda je. Kao što smo početi plaćati pozornost na nešto, počnemo kritizirati, to procijeniti, kategorizirati ga, odbiti, bojati, itd.. Ova je presuda; Ne pažnje. U ovom svijetu, mi smo uglavnom nesvjesno suditi, ne da "čista’ pozornost s našim 'plaćanje'. Prirodni čovjek nema receptivnost. Biblija jasno govori, “Prirodni čovjek ne prima što je od Duha Božjega, to ludost mu; ne može ih znati, jer po Duhu valja prosuđivati” (1 Corinthians 2:14). Biti prijemljiv, moramo obratiti pažnju; “kao malo dijete”. 'Plaćanje’ u čistom važećem pozornosti bez presude. Kao što nas je Zen majstor kaže da se, “Brisanje se, sasvim”. U sličnom mudrosti; Biblija kaže, “Neka tvoje oko bistro”. Čista pozornost bez presude poštovanja, strpljivi i ljubazni otkrio neuroznanosti svijesti što dovodi do sreće, Ljubav i mudrost. CueSports su pronađeni pružiti purista i najteži oblik pažljiv meditacije. počnemo potrebno više preciznost pri korištenju engleskog raspravljati o svijesti, um, svijest, misao … engleski je vrlo nespretan, vrlo neprecizna, u trenutku .. sanskrtu ispalo vrlo fino tuned razlike da je to jedan od najboljih jezika na kojem se istražuju um / neuroznanosti interese čine .. pozornost nije značajka svijesti, kao npr .. to je značajka svijesti .. svijest je osnovno stanje na ili u roku koji je ove aktivnosti dogoditi .. ove razlike će postati važniji u narednim desetljećima
