when this phenomenal state is here, that which we call the waking state, then there is power which is available here, which is like a distant cousin of awareness, which is called attention. It is a cousin because it is quite similar. It does not have a color, it does not have a shape, but does not have a size. So when attention moves, suppose it moves from here to here to here to here, then it seems like different objects come to life. And as an attention to with something, it can feel like I went there. I went to my thought. I went into imagination. I was daydreaming. I was with this person. I was in such a hill. So basically it is so intimate that we confuse it with I very often. So this is what we are talking about. One is this attention, which is the power of phenomenal proceeding that which brings phenomenal objects to life. And it is so intimate to the seller. They can seem like it is I. So this is proceeding.
