In dual attending the individual is simultaneously, consciously attending the energies and actions being given forth and attending to the energies and actions returning from - that is, attending to energies and actions flowing out, and energies and actions flowing in while "standing in the portal” -thus balancing the cycle. In this stand, you are the medium space. You are not in the middle. You are the medium. You are witnessing as a connecting being.
When one is not standing in the portal of attending, a lack of clarity exists - perhaps pretending (tending to previous actions) rather than attending (tending to present energy and actions).
Choosing to separate from the bonding intelligence of one’s individuality sets into motion a construction of a body of knowledge psychosocially controlled by belief systems, which builds realities upon which the intellect feasts, and which are expressed through one's personas.
In choosing to connect with the bonding intelligence, the individual accesses and centers into their heart-knowing even while the personas are unconscious of this bonding.
