I put up a new essay on attention and a psychological economy. Basically, the point is that we can be better about where we invest our attention, and improving what we do with our intention and attention has broader effects. The essay "Wisdom" is somewhat supportive, fleshes out the topic a little more, and I'll eventually write another companion essay called something like "Personal Mindfulness" and get that posted as well. There are some real and unnecessary problems that arise from trying to make mindfulness an abstract concept or trying to begin from doctrine rather than personal experience. A personal grasp on and exploration of mindfulness is important when one actually begins paying attention to psychological economy.
