Stopped In Our Tracks

You can talk of total attention but it is not that. The object that is outside of you is demanding total attention, not you. When that demands total attention, you cannot even blink. When the eyes stay open for a long time they become dry and you may even go blind. That is a pathological condition. But there is a built-in mechanism—the other glands are activated and they supply the water. The sensitivity is the sensitivity of the senses. As long as you interfere with the senses, that is gone.
