Distraction? What distraction?

We might say a distraction is a thing which takes our attention away from another thing.

One separate thing in a world of other separate things. If we see ourselves as separate things inhabiting a world of other separate things then we become very fragmented in our awareness.

But what if we didn’t see the world in this fragmented way? What if we could see we were an integral part of an already complete, whole world with an infinite array of other integral parts, all connected, unseparated? Whole.

How could we be distracted by what’s not separate, not already wholly present?

When our experience of the world is complete and whole there is no ‘other’ by which we could be distracted.
