“To live more voluntarily is to live more deliberately, intentionally and purposefully - in short, it is to live more consciously. We cannot be deliberate when we are distracted from life. We cannot be intentional when we are not paying attention. We cannot be purposeful when we are not being present.” AttentionAwarenessPay AttentionDeliberateDistracted Author:Duane Elgin
“Developing the capacity for clear light dreams is similar to developing the capacity of abiding in the non-dual presence of rigpa during the day. In the beginning, rigpa and thought seem different, so that in the experience of rigpa there is no thought, and if thought arises we are distracted and lose rigpa. But when stabliity in rigpa is developed, thought simply arises and dissolves without in the least obscuring rigpa; the practitioner remains in non-dual awareness.” IfsDifferentDreamLightSeemsLosesClearAwarenessCapacityRemainsAriseDevelopingDistractedAbiding Book:The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep Source: The Tibetan Yogas of Dream and Sleep

“There's no greater sign of the failure of the American educational system than the extent to which Americans are distracted by the possibility that Earth might end on December 21, 2012. It's a profound absence of awareness of the laws of physics and how nature works. So they're missing some science classes in their training in high school or in college that would empower them to understand and to judge when someone else is basically just full of it. Science is like an inoculation against charlatans who would have you believe whatever it is they tell you.” BelieveEndsMightSchoolEarthLawClassGreaterAwarenessMissingPossibilityCollegeJudgingTrainingHigh SchoolProfoundEducationalAbsencePhysicsAssEmpoweringBad AssDistractedDecemberEducational SystemLaws Of PhysicsCharlatansScience Class Author:Neil deGrasse Tyson
