Attend to Your Attention
Whatever salvation you hope to achieve, it is the direction of your attention that will get you there.
“Energy grows where energy flows”
That’s a fact in every facet of life.
Wherever you place your attention, your reality molds around it.
First, let’s assess what attention is defined as.
What is Attention?
attention (noun) · attentions (plural noun)
notice taken of someone or something; the regarding of someone or something as interesting or important
attention (noun) at·ten·tion ə-ˈten(t)-shən
sense 4 often (ə-)ˌten(ch)-ˈhət
a : the act or state of applying the mind to something
Let’s take a look at what the Hermeticists had to say about attention:
“The ancient Hermetists use the word "Meditation," in describing the process of the mental creation of the Universe in the Mind of THE ALL, the word "Contemplation" also being frequently employed. But the idea intended seems to be that of the employment of the Divine Attention. "Attention" is a word derived from the Latin root, meaning "to reach out; to stretch out," and so the act of Attention is really a mental "reaching out; extension" of mental energy…” - The Kybalion
When we discuss creating our reality with intention and (you guessed it) attention, we must always refer to the Law of Correspondence.
"As above, so below; as below, so above." — The Kybalion.
This universal law delineates the interconnected workings of everything in the Universe. The Macrocosm and the Microcosm are reflections of each other. What manifests in the material first exists in the mind as a thought form.
This explains the common occurrence where you always see your favorite car when you purchase it or have plans to.
This explains why the bronchioles and alveolar sacs and the dendrites and axons of your neurons resemble the extensions of the placenta.
As aforementioned, attention is the “reaching out” of mental energy.
Think of your attention as a mental arm seeking to include whatever it is reaching for into your reality.
The reason why so many people are depressed, anxious, burnt out, and helpless is because they do not realize their attention does not feed or fulfill them.
You are in control of your mind.
You are in control of your attention.
You are in control of your reality.
The moment you believe that is the moment your life changes.
