Good point- When I do it, infrequently, I don't do it as an exercise
in determining what happens to my state of attention, or to
determine what I will do next, rather as part of an exercise to
refine my intuition. When Barry brought it up, I realized that I see
my state of attention change according to what it is I am focused on
regarding my intuition.
