“As Castaneda said, he was ‘too lazy to remember what I had seen; therefore I only bothered with what I had looked at ... It is hard to believe that I can remember now something I didn't remember at all a while ago.’ He concluded that all of us look and see at the same time, but ‘we choose not to remember what we see’. In the two-step process of perception, we always see first, but immediately ignore what we see to focus only on what we look at instead. This act of perception is ‘the core of our being’. As we grow up, we develop our attention. Attention is the ability to ‘hold the images of the world’. Once we can perceive the agreed world and hold it in place, our perception becomes a constantly repeating two-step process which always produces the same being in the same world.”
