Paying attention is actually ignoring because when you pay attention to one thing you ignore everything else.

Not me. I'm omnipotent. I can pay attention to ignoring everything at once.

Channeling Alan Watts with this one.

At the same time that human consciousness is a form of awareness and sensitivity and understanding, it’s also a form of ignorance. Our ordinary, everyday consciousness leaves out more than it takes in—things that are terribly important. For example, it leaves out things that would if we did know them—allay our anxieties and fears and horrors. If we could extend our awareness to those things that we leave out, we would experience a deep inner peace, because we would all know the one thing we aren’t supposed to know.

When you think you're paying attention to more than one thing at a time you're actually not paying attention to anything.
