“There is no theory we may hold and no observation we can make that will retain so much as its old defective reference to the facts if the net be altered. Tinnitus, paraesthesias, hallucinations, delusions, confusions and disorientations intervene. Thus empiry [i.e., experience] confirms that if our nets are undefined, our facts are undefined, and to the “real” we can attribute not so much as one quality or “form”.”

“The “Spotlight” Our immediate capacities for navigating awareness and action toward tasks. Enables us to do what we want to do.
The “Starlight” Our broader capacities for navigating life “by the stars” of our higher goals and values. Enables us to be who we want to be.
The “Daylight” Our fundamental capacities – such as reflection, metacognition, reason, and intelligence – that enable us to define our
goals and values to begin with. Enables us to “want what we want to want.”
These three “lights” of attention pertain to doing, being, and knowing, respectively. When each of these “lights” gets obscured, a distinct – though not mutually exclusive – type of “distraction” results.”
