As soon as I bring attention to my breath, to my sensation, to the kind of luxurious feeling

of really being here in this body, for example, just to use that one center, the more we

tend to be present, and we'll start to notice things that we were not noticing before.

That's the other sign is that the field of our attention deepens, gets crisper, and

we notice all kinds of things that ordinarily we don't notice, because our attention, when

we're not present, is sort of welded to these preoccupations and patterns.

And that's what we're looking at with the Anygram. That's what our type does without

presence. It tends to become the survival machine.
