Spiritual Attention Span

[Adonai One]

We'll naturally have attention towards things in our lives if we actually directed our lives towards things we wanted, rather than act against ourselves towards things we do not mostly want. When we have to force our attention towards something does attention work become an issue.

An adept has released themselves from the societal constraints that cause this attention issue.

80.10 ↥ Questioner: Now, the fifteenth archetype, which is the Matrix of the Spirit, has been called the Devil. Can you tell me why that is so?

Ra: I am Ra. We do not wish to be facile in such a central query, but we may note that the nature of the spirit is so infinitely subtle that the fructifying influence of light upon the great darkness of the spirit is very often not as apparent as the darkness itself. The progress chosen by many adepts becomes a confused path as each adept attempts to use the Catalyst of the Spirit. Few there are which are successful in grasping the light of the sun. By far, the majority of adepts remain groping in the moonlight and, as we have said, this light can deceive as well as uncover hidden mystery. Therefore, the melody, shall we say, of this matrix often seems to be of a negative and evil, as you would call it, nature.

It is also to be noted that an adept is one which has freed itself more and more from the constraints of the thoughts, opinions, and bonds of other-selves. Whether this is done for service to others or service to self, it is a necessary part of the awakening of the adept. This freedom is seen by those not free as what you would call evil or black. The magic is recognized; the nature is often not.

I think it refers to how most people in ordinary life simply don't have the time to concentrate on spiritual matters even if they wanted. Working, looking after family etc leads to simply not having the energy to put into such matters.

Bingo.
