See: What is \u2018Depth\u2019?<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depth is how the brain works by default \u2015 nothing special.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n See, for instance, The Poetic Brain<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, we see a stark lack of depth in so many places and situations<\/a>. The world is sleepwalking from crisis to crisis<\/a> by lack of depth. The least one can say about this is that it\u2019s weird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not culture-bound<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The being and the not-being present of depth where it matters most is not bound to any culture. Looking at it from very far, it seems to be a problem of the human species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Therefore, it\u2019s essential to see it as such and to try to amend something about it from that angle. Anything less will only be temporary at best. I described this as three waves of attention<\/a>. It can, indeed, be seen as an issue of how attention evolved from the start of life on Earth and also how it gets realized in each individual\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Depth is everywhere.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus: you, right now. How are you reading this text? Are you jumping over the pieces, or do you let yourself be touched profoundly?<\/p>\n\n\n\n One needs to slow down in order to move in another direction. Metaphorically speaking, one needs to slow down horizontally in order to start moving vertically \u2015 the direction of depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This move is always possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How-to?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Meditation, of course. But for those who don\u2019t like the word or the idea, it can be put as \u2018blanking the mind.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
