There are many times and ways when we can tap into our true reality, that is the second attention. We understand that all the first attention draws us into, is contained as a small and insignificant part of the huge vistas, comprising the mental, emotional and spiritual panorama of the second attention.

Have you gone to a place which appears, through a sense of deja-vu, so familiar, that you could have been part of that scenario at some point in time, no matter how long back it was? This is the second attention, which is telling you so much more than what the first attention could have explained.

This comes upon us at two well-known markers of time. One is during times of great stillness, or deep contemplation. And the other one is, rather unexpectedly, at times of the greatest activity of the brain. It is like when you are in the throes of your deepest thinking and organising, that you suddenly come face to face with an unrelated aspect of the situation which had never even formed part of your mind process.

At such times we find, that totally unrelated thoughts, such as thinking of a deceased loved one passing on a message, or a flash of understanding resolving a long-standing issue, or even seeing different dimensions of something, as physical and non-physical simultaneously!

We might feel that we are actually whirling through space, and not physically grounded. This is what happens when spiritual healers meet with a patient. They allow themselves to look, talk to, and observe the patient, yet at the same time, their second attention is delving into their emotional and mental bodies, to discover the cause of illness in the physical. They may even be able to tell whether that person has much life energy left within him to live any longer.

It is so important for us, especially at this Time in history, where the spiritual vibrations of human form can be altered significantly through intent, to give conscious intent of enlarging our vision, outer and inner, to encompass all the dimensional aspects of every experience.

We must then learn to look for those creative flashes of the second attention, cultivate it through meditative techniques, and then sit back to become a master of control over all that we say, hear and do!

One of the simplest ways of perfecting this technique is to do a repetitious task, for example, listening to the same tune over and over again, or even performing dance like actions repeatedly, till the second attention gets activated through the perfectly played out reflexes of these actions.

Another practical way of getting into the totality of an experience, through both attentions, is to soft-focus each component of the experience. Try gazing beyond what you actually perceive with the physical eye, looking at the blank spaces between physical objects, telling yourself that the whole reality is before you, and commanding your mind to pick it up!

All 'seers' use these techniques, as great power is to be obtained through them. All you human beings out there, I call upon you to master the techniques of using both attentions simultaneously, and you will become a master of all the worlds, a slave to none!
