Elsewhere in this thread I likened attention to a flashlight in a dark room. And the things in the dark room being the sights, sounds, thoughts, emotions, etc. And then you direct the flashlight at the things.
What do you think of that way of thinking about it?
Focus what, exactly? Give it a name.
I mean, you could also call the thing that you are focusing “attention”.
Like you finger things with your finger.
Hand things with your hand.
Eyeball somebody with your eyeball.
It can be any sort of focus. Physical, mental, emotional, etc.
