Where Your Attention Goes, There Is Love And Peace (Even If It Seems "Bad")

Where Your Attention Goes, There Is Love and Peace (Even If It Seems "Bad")

In this post, I want to explore the concept of attention—specifically, aspects of it that might seem non-obvious or even surprisingly simple!

(This post contains my personal observations. If you disagree with something, that’s totally fine! But, by the way, pay attention to yourself when you disagree—sometimes, there’s enormous potential hidden in that. Happy reading, my dear ones!)

What Is Attention?

Essentially, attention is our "eyes." I don’t mean this in the literal sense. I’m talking about the inner eyes that focus our awareness on certain thoughts and feelings in our minds. But if it helps, you can visualize attention like physical eyes that allow you to see the external world. Just like you’re reading these words right now with your eyes—seeing the letters, the graphical elements—your attention "sees" the thoughts and emotions within your inner world.

If Attention Is the Eyes, Then You Can Choose Where to Look

Alright, now that we understand what attention is, let’s clarify its role: it acts as our "inner eyes," observing our thoughts.

Imagine you’re looking at this text with your physical eyes, but suddenly, you decide to glance at your adorable cat lying next to you. Without overthinking it, you simply shift your focus and look at your cat. The same applies to our inner eyes—we can always shift our attention to what feels more desirable in the moment.

Practice: Every time you realize you’re returning to thoughts and feelings that you don’t want to engage with right now, redirect your focus to what you do desire. Play with your attention as if you were shifting your gaze between objects in the physical world—after all, isn’t it effortless to move your eyes from one thing to another?

Think about it like this: you can sit through a sad, dramatic three-hour movie where the protagonist suffers endlessly, with no happy ending in sight. Or, you can close that tab and switch to a lighthearted comedy where everything is fun and effortless. See the metaphor? It’s easier than you think. Just stop overanalyzing the process of shifting your focus, just like you wouldn’t overanalyze moving your physical gaze—don’t strain your vision…

Where Your Attention Goes, There Is Love and Peace (Yes, Even If You Feel Bad Right Now)

We’ve established what attention is and how to work with it using the metaphor of our physical eyes. Now, let’s return to the core of who you truly are. You are pure consciousness. Sometimes, external factors and noise make you forget what it’s like to simply be—to exist as pure consciousness.

Why does everything manifest so easily in the void state? Because in that state, there is no ego or subconscious—only your true essence. Many people who have experienced this state, including myself, can confirm that it is the most peaceful and love-filled "place" to be.

Remember: Pure consciousness is love and peace. So how does attention fit into this?

Wherever your attention is, there is love and peace. Yes, it’s that simple. Because attention is you, as pure consciousness.

When you focus on something, it means you perceive it as something imbued with peace and love. This applies even if what you’re focusing on feels terrible, anxiety-inducing, or frightening. We love what our attention is on, no matter what it is.

It might be difficult to admit, but when we fixate on something, it feels comfortable—just like pure consciousness feels comfortable in the void state, where there is no physical world. This may sound paradoxical at first, but if you look deeper—without the lens of surface-level thinking—you’ll likely understand what I mean.

Take the most common struggle in this community: "I can’t enter the void state." You keep falling asleep, you can’t relax enough, you can’t let go of control, external sounds and physical sensations distract you. But ask yourself (and please, be radically honest!): Don’t you, in some way, feel love and peace in these so-called failures? Because even in failure, there is a kind of success.

The success of remaining in a state where you’re not yet ready for "major change." The success of continuing your journey as a seeker of truth. The success of "failing" at entering the void state. The success of not facing the "new reality" you’d physically experience after leaving the void.

Take an honest look inside yourself and recognize the love and peace you already feel toward your current situation. Be truthful and deep in your observations. Don’t let your true voice be drowned out by the voices of ego and subconscious conditioning!

Practice: Take a problem that’s been weighing on you—something that has occupied your attention entirely. Look at it deeply and honestly. Find yourself in it as pure consciousness (trust me, you will find it!).

Why do this? Because recognizing the love and peace even in what troubles you most increases your awareness. Awareness allows you to direct your attention toward what is truly desirable. This way, you place yourself—as pure consciousness—at the forefront, giving ego and subconscious the second and third places on the podium.

So… Is It Really This Easy?

Yes. It is easy. Everything becomes effortlessly simple and natural once we stop fighting ourselves as projections of this reality. When we recognize that our attention is always on what we love and what brings us peace—even if ego tries to convince us otherwise—we relax and reconnect with ourselves as creators.

By placing yourself as pure consciousness in the number-one position, you begin to see the truth: you have always been pure consciousness. You just had "poor vision" (remember the eye metaphor?), which blurred your perception of love and peace. Nothing has changed—except that now, you can see it.

And now you understand that directing your focus with your "inner eyes" is just as simple as shifting your gaze with your physical eyes.

Less overanalyzing, more curiosity. You are the creator—never forget that!

I hope this post has given you something to reflect on that will improve your life. I’d also love to hear your thoughts on this topic—I’m fully open to your opinions!

A simple method to reach the void state.

1. Find a comfortable position (I personally lie on my back)

2. Consciously inhale and exhale as many times as necessary to relax

3. Relax

4. Focus on the darkness behind your eyes or imagine being surrounded by darkness/in a void (like eleven in Stranger things)

5. Be, exist

6. A mantra (optional) the mantra should arise from trust, faith and tranquility, not from lack, despair and anxiety.

7. Be aware of the void/ enter the void

A Simple Method To Reach The Void State.

Manifesting is SO EASY! 🤍

All you have to do is:

1. Decide what you want

2. Remain loyal to the fact you have it, until you do!

And that’s it! 💋🖤

How Do You Assume? Like How Do You Actually Live In The End When Everything Feels The Opposite?

how do you assume? like how do you actually live in the end when everything feels the opposite?

ok hear me out.

you’re not trying to make it real. you’re remembering that it already is like… the version of you who has it? already exists. you’re not building her from scratch and yes at first it’ll feel weird, fake. your brain will fight back with doubts, logic, fear, but start being stubborn with your mind.

it tries to bring up doubts? ok cool, shut it down

“nope, i said it’s mine.”

“nope, i already have it.”

“nope, that’s not my story.”

you’ve been conditioned to believe the 3D is the final truth, but it’s not. it’s just a reflection of your past assumptions. so, if you’re seeing shit you don’t like, congrats it’s just old news(your past assumption).

law of assumption isn’t about lying to yourself or pretending. it’s about realizing that there are infinite versions of you and the version of you who already has your dream life? it already exist.

you don’t have to force a feeling.

you don’t have to be delulu 24/7 or journal for 3 hours or convince yourself.

just decide. decide it’s yours.

“i got into that college.”

“he’s obsessed with me.”

“i have that life.”

period.

you don’t wait to feel ready. you don’t wait for a sign.

you just be.

you’re the version of you that already has it. right now.

not later. now.

cuz if you’re the one creating your reality…then who tf is gonna stop you?

SUCCESS STORY

Hy halo I finally entered the void state after trying for 3 months. Let me tell u how I tried to get into the void without sleeping but I couldn't so I failed every time but recently I thought about waking up in the void state so the whole day I just affirm:

I am the void

I always wake up in the void state no matter what, and

Every time I fall asleep I wake up in the void state

I keep on looping these affs throughout the day and I guess I did this for 6-7 days only, when I started doing it and I didn't wake up in the void on first day I don't acknowledge that and keep looping on my affs and before sleeping I keep affirming I always wake up in the void state

And guess what? Yesterday was the day I slept keep on affirming and when I wake up I felt nothing, absolutely nothing. It's like I was feeling like an air I understood I was in the void and, boom, I came out with all my desires.

I manifested my desired body

The clearest skin

I revised all my grades

Me having a personal bank account which no one knows and yes, I woke up with that and the amount of money I want

I manifested my mother's beauty to the maximum level, like still looking so young and beautiful

My fav earphones

No hyperpigmentation, even skin tone

Master at cooking, art and dance

Beauty (I look like a doll now lol)

going to the void every single night and also instantly whenever I want

Those who can't go like that try this. Also, u r god u can do anything.

Love u halo. U also played a role in my success story.

Thank you

congrats my baby, that’s so amazing! i love seeing void success stories <33

When I say that this journey is real, and our struggles are not in vain, I am shouting it from the rooftops. A month ago, I woke up with my dream life. Obsessed with the "void state", I woke up one day being the same person but with an entirely new life. All because I chose it.

Your efforts aren't going unnoticed. The universe is always on your side. You are the universe. It's been a month, and I still feel overwhelmed with joy and wonder every single day.

I was once poor and battling depression, a reality many can relate to. But we found the law because we knew we deserved more. You can be ordinary, flawed, even unkind, but you can choose to transform and have it all. And I did just that. My parents, who were illegal immigrants working underpaid jobs, are now wealthy and respected figures. My last name alone garners recognition, and I am a socialite earning money just by being me.

I used to live in an attic infested with cockroaches. Now, I reside in a four-story mansion, complete with exotic cars, house help, cooks, drivers - all treated and compensated fairly. We also own three other houses across the United States.

I was once insecure, severely underweight, and bullied. Today, not only am I stunningly beautiful, but I am also praised for my fashion sense. I was once a dull person, but now I am radiant with positivity.

I attended an underfunded school where I was bullied, and teachers lacked resources to intervene. Now, I study at a prestigious private school that assures my entry into an Ivy League university. Finally, I am respected and appreciated.

I was lonely and uninteresting. Now, I am vibrant with a close-knit group of friends and a man who seems straight out of a Wattpad story. He's perfect, and he's mine.

This transformation happened overnight. And I've been on this journey since 2020. But how??? I surrendered to my imagination!

The void was overwhelming, but now I can easily navigate it. I was tired of giving my power away. So, I gave in to myself, to my dreams. I knew I deserved it. Even if I didn't believe it at times, I made the choice. If you desire something, it's already yours. It's done.

I didn't have a list or anything of my desires, just a vision of happiness. I didn't know what it looked like, but I knew how it felt. Now, I embody that feeling every day. My life is a series of plot twists. It's not perfect, but my worst days now are what I once prayed for. That old life? POOF It's gone. All I have is now, and I'm living it to the fullest.

My advice?

Stop seeking proof. If you're looking for proof, you'll never manifest your dreams because the only thing that needs to change is self. Doubt is a reflection of your disbelief in yourself. When I surrendered to my imagination, it didn't matter who was lying or telling the truth, because I had my truth. The burden of proof lies within you. It's called the law of assumption. You might harbor some doubt, but you must have faith like the devout. They believe without proof. You can too! We all can! Believe in yourself, and the universe will conspire in your favor!!!!

I agree! Your words resonated with me a lot. Faith, particularly self-faith, is such an important tool in shaping our realities. The ability to trust ourselves, our desires, and our potential is essential in manifesting our dream life, and it’s only so beautiful to slowly see yourself give yourself all your trust when you’ve never even liked yourself.

You're spot on about the issue of seeking confirmation from others. It's an unnecessary hurdle that we give ourselves but it’s human nature. Our truths and dreams should not be validated by anyone else but us. As you said, why should it matter if someone lied or told the truth? We are the creators of our own lives and thus, the only validation we need comes from within.

And I wholeheartedly agree with your point about deservingness. We don't have to earn our desires or prove ourselves worthy of them. If we want something, that desire alone makes us deserving of it.

More importantly I am very proud and happy for you !!!! You’re a testament of what our own imagination can do for us and I hope you only keep getting happier and happier <3!!!!
