Attention brings entities to Presence, and thereby into Existence.

To attend to a phenomenon is to make it stand out from what it is not, to make it present to Consciousness, to experience it, to bring it into Existence.

‍Attention manifests — bestows and sustains — existence.

‍Attention and Consciousness, and therefore Existence, is confined to the Present. The Present is self-evident; History is assumed.

If you are convinced that a Being not present continues to exist, recall that you have never experienced them outside of their Presence.

Your conviction rests on a model of the World, induced from accumulated Experience.It is a strong model, but a model nevertheless — useful only until experience shows it wrong.

Existence without Presence does not exist in Reality.
