For one to make an effort to pay attention, and to wonder
about something, first there needs to be interest, something that answers why
they should do such a move, something
that catches your attention, but what does something need to have to get your attention?
I have mentioned before that anything can be interesting but you must find the
right way to look at it? So the answer
to become interested in something is to use your imagination to find a world, a
world with such beliefs, a perspective in which a subject looks interesting...
to find the right way to look at it. But
the question still remains, what is the right way to look at it? And what makes
it the right way (other than achieving interest in an individual)? What is it
that causes the interest? And what is interest exactly?
So what comes first, interest or attention?
When I give it my attention, I see that it is interesting,
OR because it is in some way interesting, I give it my attention.
The interest comes from you, if you dont want to know, then
you are not interested, that doesnt mean that the subject at hand is not
interesting. But sometimes a thing can
catch your attention no matter how disinterested you are. Its startling, no matter how dead you want to
be. This is because of the higher
stimulation, (I wrote about situational stimulation and sensual stimulation
before I took Davis’ class). Remember
that the more you feel the more it awakens you, it doesnt matter how much your
desire is aiming for ignorance and death.
Out bodies are formed so that we cannot ignore the verb(? What about
people that meditate and they like are completely out or something). Anyways, I guess the fact that you cannot
ignore higher forms of stimulation, and that it catches your attention, means
that you still have some desire or element that
wants to live and feel. But
interest comes from within, when something cathes your attention it is because
you are interested in living that much, that something of that magnitude,
(classification of magnitude depends on yourself) awakens your senses, and
makes you want to feel. If you have more
interest in living, then what ever you classify as something that will make you live, you will
be interested in. But you can still
reject when you fear something, even though it makes you feel, why is there
rejection? Is rejection just another stimulation, or is it the result of
classifying a subject as something that will not let you live?
So how would one make themself sensitive to smaller
stimulations, so that they are interested in smaller stimulations (possibly
everything).
The magnitude of the stimulation comes from the
classification of the individual, so its not about making oneself sensitive,
its about classifying things differently.
So you classify it into something that interests you, if you like harry
potter than you see the harry potter version of it... no? Or you classify it as
it is, but you try to understand the art in itself; you dont try to pick out
what you like from it and make yourself the “herry potter” version of it in
your mind. But you make an effort to
consume it as a whole, and you see the art in it, you see the good in it, you try to understand it as it is, and you
understand why to love it, what it makes you feel and in what state of mind you
have to be in to enjoy it.
What it is that makes for you a state of mind can be checked
in “worlds” file (..\..\..\..\Worlds\Subject
Matter (worlds).docx)
:: for something to be interesting it has to have an unknown
factor, for you to want to figure it out. But there are things that you dont
know and you dont care about... so wats that all about? For something to be
interesting, can it only be intricate but not unknown? For something to be interesting, do I just
have to classify it as something that spurs life, that catches my attention and
that stimulates me so that I feel? Feel something... feel what? What is that feeling that I search for when I
have a dream to accomplish, that once I reach it, I realize that it is not how
I pictured it, unless I look at it with the eyes of when I first dreamt about
it, only then I feel as if I have reached a dream, am I still interested even
though I am satisfied?
So from all this it seems that interest is not the primary
goal. But to find ourselves in interest we must engage in perspectives, but to
engage in perspectives we must be interested in living... and so we are forced
to live, so we can choose.
So if to engage in perspectives we must be interested in living
and vice versa, is there a way that this pattern is self-propelled once you
give it a kickstart? Would that not mean that once we are given life we become
eternal souls?
I feel something, I wonder what it is, so I am interested..
I wonder about it because I am interested, but where does interest come from? I
am interested because I feel it, I feel its essential wonder, the things that I
say to “I am not interested” it is because I do not feel its essential wonder,
it is dead to me because I dont know it. and this essential wonder keeps us in
interest, until, we forget... but if we remember, we continue to love once
again, like the first infatuation.
Does the incentive for interest come from the body? How do you deal with hunger, if you are full,
can you imagine and convince your mind that you are still craving? (no because
when you lose the interest (you forget how you felt when you) of being hungry
(and the art of eating), you realize other interests that you have forgotten as
they were fogged down by hunger.
Experiment – does the
incentive for interest come from the body? interest comes from an internal desire, a
craving of anything, and you reflect it by respond to it in a wrong way, you
dont know what you want so you express it in a wrong way, you can become
interested in anything, because of the desire of being interested. (if the incentive for interest comes from the
body, that would be bad, because the body is corruptible and as we get old, we
may lose that incentive... when we die, of course we will lose it, but how slow
will it go away with age? The more aware
you are able to be with your body, the more you are able too feel the essential
wonder. Conclusion: There are things
that lower your body’s ability or desire
to feel the essential wonder... (so far no experiment has been done) but the
experiment should now answer a different question, does this such action, lower
my ability to wonder.
Post conclusion, is there even such thing as lowering
ability and desire to wonder? Or is it just that we misinterpret or do not know
how to accept or receive the wonders from a particular source other than the
things (those that “do not lower your ability to feel essential wonders”)
Essential wonder receptors – we all have them but as are
raised to pay attention to only certain things our receptors are only tickled
when we pay attention in the manner that we pay attention to those certain
things. But if we open our minds, then
we will learn different ways to pay attention, if we are not raised to exclude,
descriminate, if we are not taught prejudice, we would accept more ways to pay
attention to something, and the wonders would be felt from every
direction. But still, we must consecrate
ourselves to the Unknown, asking it for its blessing, to keep us safe as we
practice our curiosity, as we avoid the inevitable.
Now the more senses you have, the more ways you are able to
feel essential wonders, you use your senses, you make an to pay attention, you
observe the world and you use your imagination to interepret what it means.
Interpretation- because humans live by interpretations, they
cannot see facts as they are, the interpretation comes from your mind.
You doont need to be interested in something to wonder about
it, you can wonder why its suppose to be interesting, and as you give it your
own interpretation, it may be one that initially interests you, if its not,
then you should figure out what it really is.
What it really is? Dont you just mean figure out an
interprtation that interests you?
Uhh, yes. But you cant stop there for the sake of Life.
Even if you already found a way, it doesnt matter how best
it may seem, you must look for others, whether they are better or worse. Worse is good because now you know how to
work in such conditions, or because now you learn more about the factors that
make it go. Better is good because...
its better.
So the conclusion is... Listen
So ones job is to look for as many interpretations as
possible, but what distinguishes, and is it correct to discriminate interpretations
that are interesting from interpretations that are not? Does degrees in
interest exist objectively?
The interpretation is something we make up on our own, the
interest that we have in it is what we are able to feel from it.
And when something gets your interest, you must wonder about
it and develop a world out of it, something useful, anything of anything. When ever
we are interested in anything it is our duty to satisfy it, because it
is a priviledge and an aadvantage that we must use. If we, as living beings are
suppose to explore and rape this life as we love it, we are suppose to stuff
ourselves with awareness of the things that interest us and the things that
dont, but that still exist. We are suppose
to wonder about as much as we can, and it is just easier when we are
interested, so dont let these interests fade.
Whatever you can give your attention to, do it for the sake
of awareness. Whenever you have a chance
to observe, something look around
