The Power of the Dragon - Step Three

You know, all of this is not so complicated. It's just a question of semantics first...

There are different levels of attention, beyond mere animalistic awareness.

The First Attention deals with the known.
The Second Attention deals with the unknown.

Some even say that there is a Third Attention with which one can witness the unknowable, although they also say no one can deal with the unknowable. The First Attention can't understand this latter point. The Second Attention can, but not without a tremendous lot of practice.

You have to learn to deal with the unknown, that's the only way to fly.

That's why dragons fly and most humans don't...
