Attention, Consumption, & Quality Of Life

Within my experience of twenty six years on this planet observing myself & others, I have noticed a direct correlation to the quality of what one consumes & its impact on one's ability to deeply pay attention. This consequently effects the quality of one’s moment by moment experience. Primarily, I believe there is phenomena one can consume with their mind, physical, or energetic body which introduces inflammation across the system. It replaces the air, the natural lubrication, the silence within with a compulsive tightness that can only be resolved by abstinence over time. I've seen innumerable human beings that live in a state of constant anxiety & tension because they have been administering themselves doses of poison for long enough to where it becomes their new baseline & there is complete ignorance of the feeling of health. & one cannot understand their consumption which causes chronic multidimensional comfort because this unskillful consumption, which is influenced totally by their environment, slowly destroys their ability to pay attention because attention requires a certain level of stillness which inflammation does not allow. I find this to be the most insidious offering of society that allows human beings who are unaware of this dark rabbit hole to gain access to their slow deaths of mind, body, & energy. & I've seen the effects of this within myself.
