Awareness vs Attention

Listening to Ishwar Puri ji on Youtube a lot past few days. The Gentleman is 93+ and I am enjoying listening to him. Today's talk, he made some points and they did catch my attention.

He made the point that 'Awareness' does not shift. But attention does.  You can move attention from one point to another , and once I heard it, I felt...Wow! Yes...exactly. I have always known this, but never articulated it. And now that he brought it to my awareness, I understand how attention can be used!

Something I learnt today. Made me happy.

Blogging or penning my feelings and thoughts is still more a pleasure than doing what I NEED to do. Get back to work. I have been like this from childhood! WHY.

And then, why not. Gosh it feels good to just be typing away. click ity clack..clack clack!

So what have I been upto. I felt somehow leaner today and just happier about it. A funny but strange  experience I had today, all in my head of course.

So after breakfast I had dozed off. and while in my sleep. i felt from my left side, a lizard fall close to me. And I shook in terror and woke up from my sleep, realizing I was dreaming it, but my body experienced real fear.

Hmm.....back to work now...hopefully.

How do I make my doer self do what my feeling self does not want to do. I need to split these two.
