Steve, thanks for the instructions. I find it hard to focus on an object for long because it disappears after like 30 seconds, there is a glow around it and then it merges with the background. My eyes just can't handle so little movement. So I have to blink or move the gaze to focus again, but as time progresses I have to do it more and more often to the point where it's useless. What to do about this? that sounds like some woo woo going on there |

Greetings..
If no teacher and no special process is needed, why are you teaching a special process?
Be well..

What to do about this? You should be ashamed. You're utterly incorrigbile, but your direction in this thread reminds me of the old joke: "Don't! Stop!....don't stop." *smile* Don't you know by now? I already do always feel ashamed. Already even when I was a child. Please help me! |

Maybe he means a soft focus as opposed to a hard focus. Hm, I think I do have a soft focus. What kind of focus do you mean? I think the problem is simply that I'm looking at the same unmoving object, not so much a problem of hard or soft focus. It's true that anything that is not moving in some way, disappears, because experience is movement. |

Or not ;-) |

You are seeing how weak your capacity to be alert and concentrated and attentive is. Do not be discouraged by it, its normal. Your capacity is limitless, you just have not excersized these aspects of your self much, like an atrophied muscle, they will develop astonishingly fast.  Hi Sharon, and thank you. Would you be interested in doing some more editing and correction? I try to check things over after they are written, but things get missed :-) |

That's a cracking spelling of exercised Stevie ~ Love it Did he maybe mean 'exorcized'?  Was thinking the same thing, here. |

Did he maybe mean 'exorcized'? Was thinking the same thing, here. TMT in that there is probably something more useful to spend your time on no? I mean, if you are going to get engaged in thought, seems like there are better options of things to thought engage over. |

In fact, that Reefs and I had the same question would probably indicate that it's not, at least to me. You've answered the question, though, so the point is moot. |

If that's all it is, you would have stopped there.. by the way, the intentional focusing of attention 'on something' defeats the practice.. Be well.. |
