'LOOK! PAY ATTENTION!' — the command to attend

motifsPhase 8
How often is this reported?
Unquantified in surveys but among the most verbatim-stable lines across four decades of reports, from McKenna's lectures to the Meyer corpus to r/DMT.

✦Description

The most repeated line of dialogue in the literature. McKenna's elves say it verbatim — 'Look at this! Look at this!' — as they thrust objects forward; Meyer-corpus reports and community accounts echo the same imperative, sometimes as pure pressure without words: attention is grabbed, aimed, and held. The command often precedes the download or the demonstration, as if attention itself were the channel being opened.

✦Interpretations

Experiencers report it as urgency from the other side; researchers note that hyper-salience — everything demanding attention — is a signature of the state, and a personified 'LOOK!' is what hyper-salience sounds like.

✦What the sources say

'Look at this! Look at this!' — the elves' cry as they present sung objects (Tryptamine Hallucinogens and Consciousness).
Compiled reports repeat imperative attention-commands from entities.
Vault accounts recurrently quote entities demanding 'look' / 'pay attention.'
