That's basically what we do in vipassana meditation.
That is to say, your awareness is mostly under the control of a bunch of habits. You are always habitually moving your awareness this way, that way, sticking it there or there.
Thinking is mostly comprised of that. Reacting to a thought by moving your awareness to another thought and then to another thought and so on. An endless chain of reactions.
In vipassana we get a handle on that. Get less reactive. Dissolve habits. Get more awake.
It's a pretty good high too.
Too bad they made lobotomy illegal. I'd be first in line.
