About SecondAttention.org

It is difficult to describe in words alone what this site is about. It is better that we do not try to define it - for it is an open ended question. What it could be compared to is the opposite of conditioning, the other side of knowing - where opening yourself to not knowing is the first step towards freedom. To know who we are , we need to know what others have tried to make us into. To be free is to surrender to mystery.

The first attention is what we were told, what we were taught. The filter that we run 90% of our experience through. It is the filter of your beliefs and expectations. If you are happy there, safely tucked into the covers of faith and the known - you might want to leave now.

But if you have always wondered who or what we are - when you take away the patterns and habits that we inherited from family , friends and society - If you want to know what you would be when YOU choose which programs to run in your mind. When you decide at what frequency you want to run your filter. We are taking the first steps.


To get to the Second Attention, we must carefully undo the wrappers that we have allowed others to form around us. We must re-discover ourselves.


What you are seeing on this site is just a few brush strokes on a canvas that stretches further than I can see right now. But i know I will keep painting with words, thoughts, feelings, dreams, intention and with hope - that one day we can all step back from the picture and see ourselves maybe for the first time as who we are.


Over time and as the time is right, this site will evolve into a virtual community - a place where you can meet others on the same path and share your discoveries.


My vision is a community free of advertisements and corporate sponsors. We will not have millions of people in our social network, because it is not quantity that matters to us. What we will have is a network where the people who have joined are serious about finding new ways to perceive the universe - new ways to think - and new ways to communicate.


The only form of revenue right now for this site to pay for itself is the Amazon book sales (Or Paypal Donations.) Someone said , do what you love and the money will follow. I am not worried about how we will pay for larger sites and bigger servers and such (yet) . Seth always said 'The point of power is in the present' - and right now , in the present - there is a field of potential that is glowing and expanding. I can not help but jump in.
