Foreword

You are the attention.

When you have a wound your attention is stolen by the pain.

There are some odors and scents that can steal your attention and distract you from work. Your attention is easily captured.

Attention is energy. If you free up your attention you will become conscious and aware. If 100% of your attention will be directed towards the goal you will reach better results.

While your attention is scattered on different thoughts, problems and while your attention is spent on social networks and such, and you have a goal in life, you will give only 10% of your attention to this goal, and at the end, you will get only 10% of the result.

Attention is always focused on something, each and everyone has a different attention focus. Oftentimes people are so absent-minded that they can't remember where they have left something. And this is the problem with memory. Memory is directly related to attention.

Attention control is everywhere, and everyone tries to steal your attention by any means possible.

This book and the knowledge which I will share are meant not for your self-serving purpose, but for you to be protected from those who steal your attention.

And if you are interested in meditation and how to turn on your chakras you will also find a few practical exercises in this book. For it is also the attention.

Attention control is conscious awareness and freedom!

PART I. ATTENTION CONTROL

CLEAN UP

In fact, we are the attention. Some examples I will give are about awareness and paying attention. Other examples will be about choices one makes, how one's brain works, and one's character. But in fact, this all is attention as well. And here is the first example. All my life I was interested in self-development and in being conscious. I wanted to reach my latent potential. And here is what I've noticed. Let's say I have clothes that I wear all the time and other clothes that are sitting in my wardrobe or on the shelves. But I don't use them all. Now I can come to my closet and take out all the clothes that I haven't worn for the past six months. I am sure you can do the same. Of course, there can be exceptions. Let's say you recently moved to a new place, to an empty apartment and you have two t-shirts then this experiment won't work for you. But you could remember how it was before the move and probably you would have had a similar situation with your wardrobe as I do. So here I have clothes that I haven't worn for the past six months. I don't wear it but I have it. And I have pieces of clothes that I wear all the time. This situation always worried me, that I am being unconscious to behave that way: when I am not controlling myself and choosing only five pieces of clothes to wear. But the rest of the clothes don't attract my attention, or I don't feel like wearing them, as if I can't focus on them. The reasons are not very important here.

When I noticed that I had to stop it. I just took all the clothes that have been forgotten and put them in sight. The clothes I have worn all the time I put on the back shelves. Here is another example. It might not suit everyone but those who are doing a lot of cooking at home. I bet you have a lot of groceries at home that sit around for more than half a year or maybe a year. Those boxes and cans are put away somewhere on the back shelf. Of course, you have everyday perishable groceries and naturally, you buy them often, like fruits and veggies, and those are always in sight. But cans are most certainly hidden away. Funny thing is that most people don't even remember they have them. And you go to buy canned olives, bring them home, and discover you have already four cans on the back shelf. You forgot about them.

This is bad. To become more conscious you need to start paying attention to such things. It's the same as with clothes in the previous example. You can either eat them or give them away or put them in sight. You need to stir up stagnation and disturb the beehive. This is very important.

Why am I saying all this? Our brain and attention work in such an interesting way that there is information at the forefront of our memory that we use daily. And because we remember it we pay attention to it. Same way as with clothes and groceries. The clothes and groceries that you get used to and use every day, it's a habit, a routine.

There are also other things in your memory like knowledge. You can't get it out, but it's there. You don't use it every day. It's bad because it's stagnant. I have a very specific approach to self-development and the advice that I gave you will affect your brain and your memory in a good way. And if you follow my advice and clean up in your room, in your garage, or some places that you live or work, if you put in sight forgotten clothes, groceries, and other things and put away those things you got used to it will affect your memory, your attention, your psyche, your intellect. This is of utmost importance.

Of course, I have given you very simple examples so you could better understand my point: wherever you have things accumulated - clean them up! Maybe you have lots of little boxes or storage with your possessions. Or you have a shelf where there are many things but you use only five of them, and the rest is just junk. Clean it up. The same can be in a bathroom, I

might have lots of shampoo or shower gel bottles or creams but I use only one or two that I bought recently and they are in sight. So I will take them and put them away and find the ones that are hidden away on the back of the shelf and put them in sight and start using them.

Also, the trunk of the car needs cleaning as well as the glove compartment. Just make a list of places that you can clean up and start doing it.

Check your contact list as well as people you know. There are some of your acquaintances you are in contact with every day, and some that you haven't talked to for a while. This is an indication of your unawareness. I am obsessed with self-development and I am fanatical about it. I live by it. It is the meaning of my life. I devote a lot of time and attention to it like no one else. Many spiritual people read the same books and repeat the same information without understanding the meaning of it. They do it like unconscious robots, they don't get the essence and meaning. It's different for me. I am street-smart, and I've learned everything by trial and error. I studied and tested everything. My information is from personal experience. I am passionate about it and can spend days and nights trying to find an explanation for everything - my every action or inaction, every choice I made, as well as studying every person that crosses my path. What motivates the person? Why has he or she chosen this and not that? I've learned it through and through.

Let's take your contact list. You didn't consciously decide to choose only three people to talk to from your contact list because of particular reasons, and you didn't consciously decide not to keep contact with the rest of the people in your contact list. It happened automatically. It just happened. In the life of many people, many things just happen. But if you would be conscious it would not be like that. The word "robot" can be understood in different ways in different contexts. In this case, a conscious person is a "robot" in the best sense. If you put a task in front of him to make contact with his acquaintances he won't have a human factor in his actions. He won't just meet with the same three people. A "robot" won't have an autopilot and he won't unconsciously divide people. First, he will write to the tenth person on the list, then to the twentieth, and the fifth. He will go through everyone on the list and will pay equal amounts of attention to each one - he will message or call everyone and will meet with everyone. It might sound weird but a "robot" is a conscious human, he is like that.

I will give you an example. There are many movies about autistic people. They don't have a "human factor". An autistic person is like a child who doesn't understand what is possible and what is not. He doesn't have accumulated principles, offenses, or stereotypes in his subconscious. He is not influenced by them. He is here and now. And even if someone offended him the next time he won't remember it and he will treat the offender as if they've met for the first time. But normal people are vindictive, they have thoughts in their mind: they will remember the offense, and they will have ongoing associations and reactions. An autistic person doesn't have it. If you ask an autistic person "Who do you want to meet? John, Jane or Tom?" He won't answer "I don't want to meet Jane because of this and that… And I don't want to meet John because of this or that… I want to meet with Tom!" But normal people usually have reasons not to do something or not to meet someone. And they meet unconsciously only with three people. They have limited themselves by this choice and that's how one gets into groundhog day, loses awareness, and lives on autopilot. They walk on the same streets, shop in the same shops, and buy the same things, and their head is filled with useless things. A person does everything automatically. The funny thing is even if this person talks to only three friends all the time they are doing it automatically. And those three reply to him also automatically. It's a waste of energy, nothing else. Imagine how I feel when I see it. It's a madhouse, I am talking now about our world.

You need to clean up everything. At least try it once, so you can feel and understand my examples about being unconscious and unaware. Attention and its focus are consciousness, awareness, and soberness. If you are friends with people don't overdo it like with clothes - when you wear the same jacket again and again even though you have five of them without even understanding why you are doing it. And if I ask you why you do it you will come up with some excuse. But those excuses are wrong. When I go to a restaurant with an acquaintance of mine he always orders the same dish. And you know why? Because when he opens a menu he doesn't know what is in it and his attention focuses on the same dish. He yet again has chosen "Cesar" salad. You can notice the same in your life. And you choose the same dish sometimes not because you like it so much. You can even claim that you like it and that this is the best salad ever. But I often say to that person "Do you know how many salads there are in this world? If you have tried all of them you would not have said that this one is the best".

Recently I had a conversation with someone. And he asked me where I traveled, and he told me: "I don't agree that Europe is not nice. I liked it in Amsterdam". And I said: "Way back I liked Tallinn because I haven't been anywhere else". I have a very sober view of the person I am talking with and I know his development level. But this person doesn't want to even hear me. I say "I won't argue with you. I do not doubt that you like Amsterdam". But I cannot say that I don't like Amsterdam "because I didn't understand Amsterdam". I understand it very well, and a long time ago I also liked it, when I haven't been anywhere else. And I tried to explain to that person "You like it now. But if you visit other countries you will realize that Europe is not that nice".

This is consciousness and awareness. You need it for all your actions and choices.

We don't intend to stop all our thoughts here, let them be. But let's sort them out. Let's think about something interesting. Ask yourself - you won't find an answer just yet, but the process of thinking it through will be useful - if you have few friends, why do you pay attention only to two or three of them and forget about the other ones? Let's break this circle. Stop paying attention to the same people and try to be friends with ones you have forgotten. Make a note of what changes start happening in your life and how you will feel. I understand that my readers are from different walks of life. And some are more socially adapted and often go to different places. Take this exercise consciously. Make a note of which places you go often, like restaurants, clubs, bars, or some other places. How often have you been in one particular place and why there? Ask yourself. And if the answer is that you go there because it's a nice spot to be, then ask yourself how you know. Have you been to many places? From a hundred spots in your city, you went only to maybe ten. And from the ten you liked one or two. But you haven't been to the other ninety. This is very important.

Even if you go to buy groceries you will choose the same type every single time. Of course, there are exceptions. When for example you've seen some exotic fruit in a movie or documentary and you want to try it. But it's rare. You need to notice things that you do or buy automatically. And you will have a more sober view of everything.

People often ask me how I am different from others. And everyone always notes that everything in my life is always new. I don't get attached to anything. When you get attached you become dull, and attention degrades. You need to have very clear and focused attention, and not like stagnant water but like running water. You need to try new things. This is very important. Try new things. If you always go to the same grocery shop try a different one. Make a task for yourself to go to a different shop. The same with people. Try to meet new people. This is very sobering. And write down all your observations about yourself. Attention is also observation, a clear report of each action. When your attention is more focused than even while pouring tea into the pot you can hear volumetrically the sound of water. You feel it.

When you drink tea you feel the tea. As if you have never felt it before. You feel the taste and shades of taste. Imagine that! When your attention will be freed, try to touch your skin. You will be amazed that you haven't noticed it before. This is of utmost importance. Look in the mirror.

I give you examples here and you might feel confused. It might be hard to wrap your mind around it for the moment. Don't worry. These are my chaotic thoughts about attention. Slowly you will understand what I am talking about, and what you can achieve using some techniques in this book and the thoughts and examples I am giving here.

TIME

When a person travels somewhere far by car, either driving himself or just as a passenger, sometimes it happens that time flies so fast you don't even notice how you already arrived. As if the perception of time disappears, you haven't even mentioned that you reached your destination. Sometimes you would need to walk far, let's say five or ten kilometers. But you don't even notice how long the road is as if you just appear from point A to point B.

Sometimes you are sitting and talking to someone in a caffe and it feels like you talk for half an hour, but if you look at your watch five hours pass by already. Five hours! But you feel as if you just came by and got yourself a cup of tea.

I bet every one of you felt once or twice the same way.

And sometimes it's another way around. You drive and drive somewhere and the road feels endless. But the road is only one hour long. The same happens when you wait in a queue. At times it feels that time flies and sometimes it drags. How time goes depends on our attention. If you will learn how to manage it then you can create the perception of time. You will be able to create a fast rhythm or make it slow and time will drag.

Think about the reason it happens when time drags and when time flies fast. How would you explain that to yourself? Just think about how you can artificially create a perception of fast time. And what would you need for that?

It will be very useful in the future. The self-development that I give should not be understood by the mind only. The most important thing is to practice. I will give it to you as well. Now I am touching upon the main subject of our discussion, then I will explain the essence.

Understanding the essence means that it will be recorded deep within you and the information will never be forgotten. Information will be helping you automatically. As if you will gain new talent. And if you will understand the essence of my examples - like in the example with time - you will be able to create a perception of time artificially for yourself. It will help you a lot in life. And you could also use it for other people's good. Imagine you are waiting in a queue with someone and this person is annoyed, but you can make it so that a person won't even mention how time goes by. I think it's a very useful skill.

Depending on where you direct your attention, time flies or drags. If you are interested in something, your attention is stolen by activity than time flies. If your attention is freed up from waiting like it happens when you do 'technique on a chair'. Imagine you are sitting and waiting in a queue, and you are used to your attention being distracted, but now you must just sit and wait. And you become annoyed. It means that time drags for you. You get restless and you get really annoyed. And of course, if you know how to direct your attention while you are waiting in a queue the time will go faster. When your attention is focused on one point you turn off yourself from society, from time and space. Society is time and space. When you turn

it off you don't mention that you are sitting in a boring queue, you don't mention how time flies. Your attention is focused on something. When I was driving a lot, sometimes for 5-10 hours, when you are driving and your attention is scattered and you are thinking about something, your mind is working, and the journey will take ages. But if your attention is free, focused, and concentrated on something interesting, for example, you are talking about an interesting topic, you won't even mention how five hours go by. You need to realize that attention can be stolen that way. And you can use it. Time drags when your attention is scattered on little things: on daily routines, on thoughts, on the future, on the past. When you are not interested in anything you are bored and you feel bad, and everything is slow and time drags.

When you free up your attention and focus it, you will learn it by practicing the 'technique on the chair', it would be enough if you focus your attention on yourself and time will fly. It's like meditation, it feels like you are doing it for five minutes but five hours pass by.

You just need to disconnect your attention from everything. So stop all ongoing tasks. And everything will be fast. If you have too many tasks going on at the same time then time will drag.

The other issue is that a lot of people think about the future all the time. Statistically more men do it. They think about what to buy, about their work, about the future, about moving to a bigger city for example. They live in the future and it steals their attention every day. This is very bad. It's important to be alone at least once a week, with a notepad and pen, and analyze how your week went by, how you feel, what worries you, and what you would want in the future. And for the rest of the day, you should not think about it. This is very important. You should not live in the future when every day you think about what will happen. You don't live in the present moment. Do you understand? You need to wake up.

And some people live in the past. They think about their past love or past tragedy. This is also bad. You can think about it once a week, talk about it once, and write it down in your diary.

But you should not think about it all week long every day. It's bad to live in the future or in the past.

My issue is that I tend to live in the future, and I stop myself from thinking about it. But sometimes it takes over. How does it look to think about the future? Let's say you planned to travel to another city. And you think about it all the time and do the usual things as if you are there already, in another city. And when you finally go to that city you start thinking about what you will do when you come back. This is the cloudiness of your mind, unconsciousness. You should not do that. More often workaholics live like that. They will understand what I am talking about.

Living in the future and setting goals for the future are not the same thing. If you live here and now and live every day consciously, and on this day you do everything in the present, but you have a goal to travel somewhere in a couple of months and you are earning money for this travel, this is just a goal for the future. You can do it of course. It's bad when you are at the opposite extreme. When you know that you will travel somewhere in one month's time and it disturbed your consciousness. Meaning that you don't live in the present all these months before you need to travel, but rather you are just waiting for the month to pass so you would travel. You don't look at this month with a sober view. Tomorrow will come and you don't perceive it as here and now. Because you are just waiting for the time when you will travel.

And when you finally travel you start thinking about what things you need to do when you arrive. You yet again live in the future. You need to turn this thinking off. Waiting every day for the future to come is bad. Set goals for the future is good.

MOOD

While walking somewhere there are days that you notice everything, and other days it's like a blur. You can't control it. That's why you have a different perception every day. Some days your attention focuses only on negative things and you see only negative things around you. And sometimes it's another way around. You walk out of the door and you see only good and positive in things around you. You don't do it on purpose. This is an unconscious way to live.

You can't control it, you just live your life. You didn't set a goal like "Today I will focus only on negative" or "Today I will focus only on positive". You just go through your day as you do every day. And your day can be completely negative or completely positive.

This can be controlled. This is the attention. Do you understand how important that is?

The focus of attention can be directed and it's important to what angle your attention is directed. You can focus your attention on everything positive or on everything negative. Think about it. Have you had days when everything that happened was with a tint of negativity?

And then there was a day when everything seemed good and happy. Do you remember what was the reason for it? Maybe you've met someone and it changed the angle of your mood. You need to control such things. Why would you walk on the streets where accidents or shootings happen, or someone was robbed?

Here is another topic where attention is involved.

You wake up in the morning and get ready for the day very fast, you just have 3 minutes for everything: brush your teeth and run to work. This is a mistake. Why? Because it's important to turn it on when you just wake up. You need to wake up not just physically but psychologically as well. The first thing you need to keep in mind is that you can't rush in the morning. You need to have at least an hour to get ready in the morning. I understand that all people are different. Someone might not have an hour. For example women with kids. She needs to get her kids ready and make breakfast for everyone. For her, one hour wouldn't be enough. That's why you need to wake up one hour earlier than everyone else in your household. I am not trying to deprive you of your sleep. Sleep is very important. But you need to clean up your act. If you need to wake up earlier you go to bed earlier. You need to have this hour in the morning for yourself. This is very important. Also, drink a glass of water slowly. This is healthy. You should have breakfast just before you leave. You should not eat and only then do your morning routine. First, you wake up, take a shower, do sport, and do other things. And only then when the hour has passed you have breakfast and leave the house. If you do it earlier than one hour from the moment you awake, it's not good. Just remember you need to add one hour to the time you need to get ready.

This hour you will spend with yourself. You need to be here and now. You can make breakfast, you can go to take a shower, and decide what you will wear today. Or you can sit with a notepad and pan, and make a plan. Or check how you feel today, what are you going to do today, and in the evening. Write it down in your notepad or the notes on your mobile.

Some people keep a diary and they control their attention better. Those people who can be alone and write down something in their diary. And those for whom it's hard to do those are more zombies, they live on autopilot, they are victims of their mind, absent-minded.

Those who can be alone and spend an hour writing something down in the diary are more conscious. They have more free attention.

And those who can spend time with themselves don't give me an excuse that you don't have time. It has nothing to do with time. The diary is very important. Everyone should keep a diary. Make notes there wherever you want - in the morning or the evening. This is the time to focus on yourself. This is the key.

Another important thing. Some people spend a lot of time in front of the computer because of the work they are doing. You need to switch attention at least once a week to an opposite rhythm. If you work at the computer you need to do something physically, like dancing, sport, etc., anything that doesn't involve computers. It's important to switch the rhythm, so you won't become dull. Other people are more involved with paperwork and negotiations, so they are not using computers a lot, most often those are people of the older generation. They might not even know how to use a computer, in this case, you need to get yourself a game console. Playing games for people who don't use computers is good. It will help to develop attention.

I need to give you a detailed account of how attention works. When you look into details your attention starts to develop. Now I am talking not about how to free up your attention but how to control it. You need to understand what steals your attention and how to direct it, how to use it, etc. When I free up and widen your attention, it will be so strong that you will need only one element to connect to anything. Connect in terms of sensitivity. When attention is connected to many things like daily routine, your relatives, acquaintances, your colleagues, problems, to everything - you don't feel anything: you don't feel the energy, you don't feel yourself, you don't even feel how nature changes.

I can even feel how mood changes in the city, or any village. Because I am always here and now. And my attention is focused on where I am now. Do you understand?

People with scattered attention, no matter where they are, no matter what music they listen to are not completely there as if they are looking through a small window. If I turn on music for such a person, yes he will hear it, but he won't feel it, because his attention is scattered. But if a person has free attention he will hear the music volumetrically and he will feel the atmosphere of the music track, he will connect to it.

When you free up your attention you will be able to feel everything like that. This will give you a boost in your self-development. When you turn on the Discovery channel and watch a documentary you will go deep into it with all your attention as if you will take part in it, you will feel it. You won't be just watching it as if from outside.

In the same way, you will feel the music, you will absorb it. There is one important 'But'. Because of attention and sensitivity, I've discovered 'frequencies'. I started to feel different waves, see different worlds, I started to notice what people don't realize. If I talk to one person I have consequences in life and it affects my mood. If I talk to another person - there are different consequences and different moods. If I watch crime series now and I won't turn myself off from them I will see maniacs and murderers. For real. I will show you how not to connect to bad things and people. And even if you will connect to something bad I will show you how to zero yourself down.

There are people like zombies, their attention is scattered and they don't'’ connect to anything and they can'’ switch on and off as if their development stopped. Their potential to develop equals zero. And there are you, my readers, who also have scattered attention but you have a percentage of free attention. You can connect to something: to me, to my world and

atmosphere. Or to some bad person. But you don't feel it and you don't'’ control it. It happens by chance. But you have the potential for such a level of sensitivity. You, like myself, can connect to something unfortunate by accident.

When I found out about it, through trial and error, I started talking about it to everyone who wanted to listen. I talk about it through my books and to the people who have some percentage of free attention. I talked about how important it is to control what you eat, what you listen to, which streets you are walking on, and who you talk to. All of it influences your life. It's not used to explain this concept to people-zombies, nothing influences them. But to my readers, I've stressed how important it is to understand that every object, every element around it can influence you in a good or in a bad way.

Here I give you general information about the attention. I will teach you how to free it up, how to control it, and how to direct it. What I've told you so far is just a cover for attention. Later on, I will show you another cover of attention which is how to manage energy. And then how to direct your attention. This is the most important part so you can avoid connecting to negativity, and would always be tuned to positivity.

For now, spend attention on yourself. If you look at this on a technical level, from the physics perspective, then even if you free up 10, 20, or 30% of your attention it won't’ be just floating around, right? It is free because you don't spend it on smoking or the internet. But it immediately spreads to other things. And the effectiveness of those things will grow. Now you spend not 10% of your attention on other things but 11 or 12%. But you still have only 100% of your attention. Look at illustrations of how it works. (Fig. 1, 2 and 3).
