Moving awareness is commonplace

When you move your awareness from one thing to another. For example : from thoughts about lunch, to the feeling of your right hand, to the sound of traffic outside.

You perceive a change, right? Your whole perceived universe changes. Which would be science-fictionally amazing is it wasn't so common.

And if you hold your awareness on a thing for a while because you're really into it. A movie or a girl or a videogame. You obsessively focus on that for a while. You noticed how that affects you, your consciousness and such.

So those are common awareness-related phenomena that we can talk about. And meditation-related too. Huge and shockingly scifi if they weren't so common.

This is overlap between the perspectives of people who meditate and people who don't. And we can agree that these phenomena are a big deal.

So, how does that make you feel?

If this is just a simulation, that's just a type of occlusion to optimize performance. Don't need to render or simulate the entire universe; just what you're looking at and thinking about. 😌
