Perceived problems arise when you focus attention on objects, events and sensations that reinforce your belief in time and space. What if all your supposed issues are easily dissolved by simply paying attention to nothing? How then can you identify situations that do not matter and free yourself from them?
1) Initiate shifts in awareness. A human being is unable to think at the same time as be fully aware of space and silence. You may think you multi-task effectively, but you are unable to focus full attention on more than one place at one time. Sources of disruption, stress or anxiety all compel you to think. Mental training allows you to learn to turn it off at will.
2) Bring the unmanifest to your attention. People do not usually focus on what they do not see. And yet, as you grow aware something holds up the physical forms you experience, you trigger new levels of awareness. You withdraw energy from what appears to be going on outside and turn inward. To develp a sense of the formless dimension empowers you to evolve. You begin to realize all form dissolves and nothing matters as much as you thought. You gain perspective.
3) Reframe your sense of reality. To realize layers of energy exist gives you insight into spaces you currently see and do not see. You are conscious of your own perceved dimensions of time and space. They frame a sense of physical existence. As you sense energy form is impermanent and unstable, you nurture fear about what may or may not be and create misperception of what you are. Detaching from these brings you face-to-face with presence. You transcend illusion.
