I think it isn't a "too focused" effect so much as an "any focus" effect. It's just a matter of degree.
And that darkness, that wraparound blind spot. It doesn't exist. You know what I mean? It, in all likelihood, is not accounted for at all in your reality.
I mean, you don't say to yourself, "gosh, I'm blind to all this stuff". No. the stuff just doesn't exist.
And add habit to the mix, that subconscious robot. Habit that governs this universe-dividing attention.
Titanic feats of reality-conditioning could be happening right under your nose, constantly. And you'd never even know it.
