Another tendency we have is just to check out drift. Who cares? Not pay attention. Be heedless. Not give a crap about anything, be apathetic. But what does this lead to? What's the alternative? How do we uplift and brighten the mind, encourage heedfulness, and not fall into drift, apathy, spacing out, blanking out, annihilationism, bad attitudes. How do we uplift and brighten, bring energy, be heedful, and stay with our meditation object? And for what benefit and purpose?
