When con artists focus on their prey, they will sit and stare at them with a singular focus and intent. With all of their will they declare the person their property. It is a very effective technique, but it is also very rudimentary.

Con artists are simple minded animals, like sharks. Their motivation is almost always based on insecurity. Unwilling to be measured evenly in an honest world. Needing money to buy material things to attract a mate because they alone are not good enough.

The same technique of focussing our intent is used by many other people in many ways. CEOs and artists. Working to keep their intention focused on their vision despite all the distractions and drama that is going on around them. But their vision is much broader and sometimes more humane.

At the highest level, in theory, is the prophet who fights to maintain their intention on a vision that encapsulates all of humanity,.. all of existence even.
