Focus enhances separation, and defocus reduces it. Therefore, anything that makes you defocused, for example, multitasking, brings you on a path without distance to that which is One.
From Duality Hack #1.12 in Alexius’ Duality Hacks.
Defocusing neutralises differences, thus separation, so if you continue to look at something without focusing, separation disappears. But you cannot defocus that long if you have unfinished business in a world with more than one.
In that case, you are better off focusing on your problems so you can include them. When included, you cannot focus on them. Hence, the more you include, the more you are in the bliss of nothing. See Duality Hack #3.1-8.

Contrary to what you may have learned, concentration is not beneficial for undoing the belief in separation. Oneness is formless, so it appears hidden when you focus on something.

Focusing enhances the impression of separation, thus the sense of being alone. On the other hand, since defocusing blurs out everything, the appearance of separation falls apart, hence feeling together.

If you focus on the contrasts in this image, you probably end up deducing something, thus concluding you are someone definitive looking at something understandable. But if you defocus, the differences disappear. Therefore, since knowledge does not establish you as someone since there is nothing to understand, you do not hide what cannot be known: the formlessness of oneness.

Nobody is in a world with more than one, so you cannot leave it if you believe in being there. However, you do not establish more than one as authentic when you defocus.

Much concentration is needed to appear as somebody, whereas it requires no attention being nobody.

The words in Alexius‘ Duality Hacks come by themselves when Alexius defocus. Hence, they hack your focus when you do not try to understand them.
That said, while undoing the belief in a world of duality, you must operate within the polarity rule, which states that you experience everything in pairs of opposites. Hence, you alternate defocusing with focusing – like Alexius, defocus when writing and focus when proofreading Alexius’ Duality Hacks.
Or you may be non-focused when reading Alexius’ Duality Hacks and focused when implementing them in a world of duality. However, being defocused does not mean you read between the lines. If you see something there, you focus. In other words, to read in a defocused way is not to look for anything.

Multitasking is a great help not to focus. When doing several things simultaneously, there is no time to care about specifics, label experiences, or be result-minded. That said, sometimes circumstances in a world where there seems to be more than one require focus and a specific result.
A terrific way to contrast focus with defocussing is to perceive everything in a world defined by time and space as symbols of that which makes it possible to focus on something specific, namely the formlessness of oneness. Perceiving the world as a symbol of oneness, you see appearances as different, but their differences do not make a difference. Hence, you have your cake and eat it too. See Duality Hack #3.1-8.

If Alexius’ Duality Hacks space you out, you are on the right track regarding undoing the belief in time and space. Yet, you are not on the right track if you space out on the way to pick up your kids from school because it requires focus on differences. You need to be more than the kids to guide them on their journey in a world with more than one..

Spaced-out is one side effect of defocusing. Another one is clarity. When you do not focus on anything, you do not have an ongoing internal discussion about right and wrong. Hence, you instinctively do and say what fits the situation – not because you know but because you are in sync with the brain. See Duality Hack #6.1-7.
