To expand a bit: You said in another post that it feels "false" to you to "want" a higher state of attention. My experience is that it feels "false" to me to try to *create* appreciation for what already is. The appreciation is either there, or it isn't, spontaneously; and its "presence" and "absence" are very precisely correlated with the "presence" and "absence" of Awareness. ------------------------ Yahoo!
