Thank you for your input, Tsukiomi. The idea of feedback is an interesting one and I am inclined to agree with it. Maybe the trick is understanding the feedback and knowing how to respond to it. I ...

That is interesting, David. Maybe my attention is my consciousness. I have said that by being more aware of here and now helps to clear my vision. I have also realised that when I do practise this awa...
