I have come to believe that it is likely that the martyrs standing eternally before The Father can somehow have access to the consciousness of any individual or creature in all creation as though they were that person

So, in your view, the things we would be focuing on in the presence of God are people? How sad. Yet we could spend eternity discoverieng eternal and endless God's beauty instead.

NOT AT ALL!

Methinks I've left out an understanding that is only now resurfacing . . .

Even in this mortal flawed state, many folks can multi-task amazingly well--lots of mothers, for example.

I heard some preachers assert that in eternity we will SHARE THE MIND OF CHRIST. And that thereby and therefore, we will be able to focus on myriads of things at the same time, as Christ obviously does.

Divided vs Undivided attention? IF the divided attention is functionally identical to the undivided attention in that exalted state--what's the difference?

Again . . . Heaven is not a place where all the saints sit around on the floor in the lotus position in identical robes chanting identically the same note OOOOMMMMMMM eternally. No way. Not the place.
