attending and slipping

Table of Contents

1. observation

Observed the phenomenon where:

  • after a meditation that empties my mind
    • it would be easy to attend to new concepts
    • it would be easy to load new information into mind and attend to them in ways specified to respond to certain kind of information in my favourite mindset
  • after reading a lot of information, while trying to keep hold of them
    • new information slips as if they don’t matter at all, regardless of their importance.
    • new information are not remembered at all
    • appears that no capacity is available for argument forming.

2. interpretation

an empty mind attends best. While holding information present, new information more and more tends to slip.

3. respond

  • meditate before attending
  • take mind-emptying rest when:
    • doing a period of intensive attending, and intend to do more
    • feeling new information slipping often couple would anxiety and impatience to them
    • low on motivation of attending to more information(tired)

This echoes to low information diet. Both would desire emptier mind. low information diet increase the emptiness overall in a preventing manner, while mind-emptying rest empties mind actively.
