To act effectively on anything — a target, a market, an opponent, a patient — you must adopt its attention. 'The pursuer cannot pursue if he does not integrate his vision with that of the pursued... hunting is an imitation of the animal.' The hunter begins to behave like the game, perceiving the environment 'from the point of view of the animal, with the animal's peculiar attention to detail.' Deep attention is imitative: you become, in perception, what you are attending to.
