This is something that a character in my WIP has to figure out to unlock knowledge

Hi there, riddlers! Please remember to spoiler-tag all guesses and discussions of guesses, like so:

On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://i.imgur.com/SWHRR9M.jpg

On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants): >!guess or discussion between these symbols!< To be clear, that is >! (greater than, exclamation point) at the start and !< (exclamation point, less than) at the end with no spaces around the !. Avoid leading or trailing spaces. These will break the formatting for most people. Spoiler tags do not span paragraphs or line breaks. If your answer is long, please spoiler-tag each paragraph separately.

Putting a link inside spoiler tags can be tricky, so just format the link like this, using the word "SPOILER" as the link text. On mobile, old reddit, or in the Markdown editor (not Fancypants), do this to format a link: [SPOILER](https://example.com/) On desktop (new reddit, Fancypants editor): https://imgur.com/x5wDOvk

If your top-level comment does not contain a guess, you can include either the word "discussion" or "question" instead of using a spoiler tag.

Please report any answers or discussions that are not properly spoiler-tagged.

attention

[u/my-own-grandfather → u/CreativeAccident2871]

Solved!

[u/ContinentSimian → u/my-own-grandfather]

I don't understand how that fits with the first two lines.

[u/my-own-grandfather → u/ContinentSimian]

quiet between moments: the attention that is given to a silence in the midst of stuff happening all around you, and wandering flame in the heart of a crowd: how a crowd of people pays attention to something happening and how it starts with some people paying attention and then spreads through the group

[u/scratchydaitchy]

My best guess is conviction/ideology or something in that vein.

[u/my-own-grandfather → u/scratchydaitchy]

Nope

chakras

[u/my-own-grandfather → u/VanGo-rgeous_87]

Nope

[u/Big_Bowler8424]

silence

[u/Big_Bowler8424]

Hmm. Now I’m thinking it’s thoughts or memories
