Hemispheres

I remember reading in your book that attention is not an act of perception. Yes. I did not quite understand the meaning of attention when I first discovered that it is different in the two hemispheres. I thought, man, that's interesting. I didn't even look for it. I was just very interested in attention. So I read everything possible and it became clear that the two hemispheres are different. And of course there were many other developments. But at that time I was more used to the normal cognitive thinking and thought, attention is simply another function of the brain. Because a machine cannot be attention. You can put a problem on a machine, but it cannot turn your attention. Because attention is the way you set your consciousness across the world. Consciousness is always set on something or something. Consciousness cannot be without a goal, view, object or object. The way and the way you set your consciousness across the world, we call attention. When I set my consciousness very close, the reality is set in small dots, which then appear as fragments, which then the brain has to combine to understand it. Then you see another world than the ones you see, when you set your consciousness as far as possible, as with certain meditative practices, where you try to take as much of what is happening around you as possible, without creating a judgment. With other words, the talking part of the mind is not set in motion. Basically, the left hand is the subconscious perception, which is not set in motion. And that is known in the Buddhist tradition as the Aphengite. Because it is ploughing everywhere. A silence that allows you to see more. Fascinating is also an exercise that I have done myself and that I You try to focus your consciousness at the same time and expand it. Exactly for that we have two halves of the brain. With only one half of the brain, that is not possible. Because a conscious center can only be set in one direction. That is why we have two halves, so that we can set them up in different directions. Do you think that such an exercise could be a way to balance the halves of the brain? I mean in the sense of an eke, an electrophysiological drawing. It is a way, with which you can easily correct the left half of the brain over the right half of the brain and balance it. With many meditation practices, the right half of the brain is especially spoken about. At the end of the experience meditation there are both functional insights about how the right hemisphere works with such people, as well as anatomical insights. They consider the certain areas of the right hemisphere, which are particularly important for them, to enlarge or thicken than they would otherwise be. So it is definitely about linking the right and the left hemisphere. That plays a role, that is really interesting. I remember that I had a meditation exercise in the eke-do many years ago. You began to focus directly on the middle of the brain. I think that's how it is with Chinese people. And on a very small point, as you can imagine, then this point became bigger and bigger, and then everything in the universe was taken care of. So you start from a point that simply stands out. Maybe it was something similar.
