Attention Moving on Its Own

A question about whether to let attention flow by itself, and the discovery that attention naturally releases from thought without any deliberate effort.

Is it the case that we simply allow attention to flow by itself? I have noticed something very clearly: I was completely absorbed in thought, and suddenly attention came out of the thought on its own. I didn't even know it was happening. It was so clear. I didn't do a thing, and it just came out by itself.

That's great. Yes, exactly.
