¿ We are educated to follow, accept and conform. This is tradition, second-hand.
¿ When you become aware of conformity without reaction is that awareness the

¿ I am attentive for a minute and there is no border, no time, no `me¿, no
problem. The whole energy is involved in that attention. This is a tremendous

¿ There is attention the moment the mind is aware that it is inattentive."
