Closed Eyes Phenomenon

Recently I noticed a familiar thing-people generally close their eyes while soaking in experience and it might continue in the moments immediately following the experience. I associate it (dunnow why) with an instance in DU women’s hostel where two visually impaired students arrived, without speaking they found two seats individually and then (to my surprise) one of them directed her face towards the other and exchange the first words. I was surprised at the sense of direction (Blindsight ).How did she know exactly where the other was sitting... I did not ask her coz her conscious mind would not know how it happened...she just acted on her stage.
Pause
I decided last week that before locking my door, as I leave for office, I will Pause- lights, geyser, iron, gas (have I switched ‘em off?)
Pause to reconsider. Pause in everything as usual. Pauses taken sub/un/consciously.

Pause is opposite to closed eyes phenomenon, in a context. Former is involving/allowing either yourself/circumstance/action. Latter is observing/weighing/reconsidering either yourself /circumstance/action.

Things I considered important shifted

This pain (physical too) is just preparation, for soon there will be no pause
.
Yesterday I keyed in N the door did not open, did not taken a second attempt to realize that the landlady armed with a duplicate set had been in there and had locked it from inside absentmindedly. One hour later she arrives…I had worked out anger, met her with calm and this time I noticed…as I did several things at the same time which required varied responses, I did not pause
