Creotology Personal Development and the Power of Attention

Soke Draconis and I were walking down the street in our neighborhood enjoying the beautiful summer day.  As we strolled along, we were discussing Creotology Personal Development Institute and how the programs were evolving when we happened upon a large cat sneaking up on some birds enjoying a puddle of water from the previous night’s rain. Soke Draconis said, “Look at the incredible amount of focused attention the cat has on those birds. That is the type of attention that our students need to have in Creotology Personal Development.”

We stopped and watched what nature had designed and looked for the lesson in the moment. The cat readied itself, kept very low to the ground and moved in small little steps. With its ears laid back and everything about it very still. We could see that the cat was now focusing on the bird closest to him. Soke Draconis whispered, “The cat is going for the low hanging fruit. This means the bird he has picked is the closest for his success.” Soke’s remark sent my thoughts back to a class in Creotology Personal Development about focus and attention. Also, I think I have felt that type of attention in some mental procedures that we do in class.

The birds played and were oblivious to the predator that was about to pounce on their freedom. It was hard to watch, but nature is what it is! With a fast bolt, the cat leaped and successfully hit its mark.  As the other birds took off and the chaos cleared, there stood the cat with its bird and fruit of the cat’s rewards for a perfect and flawless attack. Once again, it was hard for Soke Draconis and me to watch the event. However, we came away with some keen insights. The insights were to stay focused on one thing at a time, look for the most available opportunity at all times, be patient and remain centered in your focus and whatever you do, do not jump the gun.
