ATTENTION

ATTENTION.
Consciousness is built only through attention. Good or evil comes when you place your attention on what is good or on what is evil until what is good or what is evil becomes the dominant consciousness. In intuitive perception, thought, word or deed you should let your attention dwell on what is good so that it becomes the dominant consciousness you have. This has the reciprocal effect of also detaching you gradually from all your wrong volitions, so that they no longer bring to you any wrong reactions. Let your good overwhelm your bad so that you receive only what is good. Good or evil comes only through the channel of your attention. This is why the Bible says, “My son, attend unto my wisdom…”
Link yourself to the good, but detach yourself from evil; and this only comes through the discipline of right attention. In this regard it is because it takes some time to let good gain the ascendancy and the evil to be detached from through right attention that they say “time heals”. With time you get over what is wrong as you continue in right activities. It will develop the right volition that brings the right reciprocal effect with time.
Let your good outweigh your bad. Pursue only what is good always. If you err do not remain in it. Detach yourself from it by focusing only on what is right, so that it may have the dominance in your life. Do not dwell on what is wrong, except it is for the purpose of understanding it in order to master it; but rather dwell on what is right.
