During a mindful walk today, I noticed that this applies to inner perception too. Kind of obvious in retrospect. I was thinking of a conversation I had with someone earlier:
In default mode, the topic structure of the conversation is salient.
Letting compassion grow, a memory of the smileys in the conversation suddenly comes up.
Curiosity takes over, and a specific topic comes into focus and a desire to review it in detail.
Settling into tiredness lets the conversation slide.
