From decoding to attuning

 sometimes, i cannot fully stick to a book, because i am holding a a very conventional viewpoint and attitude and belief about how to go about it. the books that i like to read will have lots of terms and allusions and words that I feel the need to look up, in google or in the dictionary and so on, in order to understand those terms - in order to continue reading and understanding the book. this is how i go and google them, and then that google result will lead me to a wikipedia page perhaps and then that wikipedia entry will result in me clicking a hyperlink from there and i jump from hyperlinks to hyperlinks and further doubts and clarifications, for which i go and use ai tools like this, and i am not reading -- or focusing on the book any longer.

so there is another way to read a book. take a book, and simply make sure that you are reading the syllables or the sounds that the words represent (not even necessarily correctly, if you don't know how a certain word should be pronounced)... doesn't matter if it is the correct pronunciation or not... just don't look anything up, until you finish with that book completely.. from start to end... just go through it without moving on to anything else... this is how the fire of your focus is developed... this is how you will enter the trance state of concentration and another universe (entered through the portal of that book (any book)), and not by looking everything up, or knowing everything or comprehending everything necessarily.

so this is a kind of sadhana which i have to do for my mental wellbeing and truly loving a book, as opposed to knowing or correctly understanding it (which is only "correct" by the terms of society or consensus reality)... this is my correct way.. and i should be doing this more...

so i need terms... or names i can call this activity or sadhana... and different small reminders and pointers... that this is what i should be doing.. understanding or grokking is not so much the point -- the point is attunement... attunement with the trance factor - for it is the trance factor (that frequency range elevation by doing that activity with ekagrata) is what changes and fulfulls and truly satisfies you... and shows you the way forward (to do exactly the same for the next book)...
