I played sports all my life and I have found that when one masters a sport one then has to let go and let the sport play through oneself. <br /><br />Take tennis as an example. As a beginner I had to learn the strokes and how to maneuver my body around the court both effectively and efficiently . . but once I'd mastered those aspects I then had to let go of my thinking mind and let my body take over; no mind . . . . . . Just 'I'(intelligence), the still mind, and a body in existence. In this most natural state of Presence, or Being in the moment, I found myself able to perform better, and I was no longer concerned with winning or losing either, no, I was simply centered in 'no mind' and every movement, every shot I played unfolded from there.<br /><br />It is also the seat or place of real enjoyment :-)The trials and tribulations of QPRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01766497464486537265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148854789473628533.post-44896667976069761102010-02-01T04:11:57.962-06:002010-02-01T04:11:57.962-06:00Brilliant line: "but outside mind there is no...Brilliant line: "but outside mind there is nothing to seek"<br /><br />and follow up: "this mind becomes your opponent"<br /><br />Like it ツTa-Wanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01123753659706310015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9148854789473628533.post-8004331325594886532010-01-31T21:52:53.250-06:002010-01-31T21:52:53.250-06:00Cooooooooooooooooooooooolll...
