From one meeting of Rodney Collin and his students.
Q.- What is attention?
A.- The attention is intimately connected to the potential soul, because attention is subject to will. If we really try and if we really wish to work on attention, to direct attention, to concentrate attention, to divide attention, it is only through will, and will is an attribute of the soul. By developing will, strengthening will, the soul will automatically grow. And the most common way in which we can exert will is precisely to exert it on attention.
Attention is an energy force, it is like an emanation, something that detaches from us. By the mere fact of being alive we are constantly releasing the matter of attention. Attention can be attracted or it can be completely diffused. The most common is for the attention to wander from one object to another, because one is squandering this force without any goal.
Put down in writing all your goals. Then try to reduce them, to concentrate them. Because then you will see there is a larger goal, that embraces all these ramifications.
Love, J and A
