I used to think the "here and now" was just a cliché – until i realised i was experiencing it.

Panoramic perception evolved for the sole purpose of recognising movements and changes, here and now. It evolved so that animals could be open and safe in an ever changing, insecure environment.

At best, we can only focus on a specific part of what is "here". And when we do this, it is usually because we want it or like it.

But it's not possible to want anything with panoramic awareness, and this is the underlying distinction. Panoramic awareness is selfless and complete in itself.

Vulnerable animals have to be free of any specific focal point, in order to be aware of as much as possible.

Predators combine their focused and panoramic abilities. They hunt for and want prey. This activity is governed by focusing.
