Our Mind Moves<\/u><\/p>\n

\u201cTwo monks were arguing about a flag. One said: \u2018The flag is moving.\u2019 The other said: \u2018The wind is moving.\u2019 The sixth patriarch happened to be passing by. He told them: \u2018Not the wind, not the flag; mind is moving.\u2019\u201d The moral of the movement story is that once we focus on movement, we become distracted from the truth. We don\u2019t move. Our mind moves… or does it?<\/p>\n

\u2019The wind, the flag, and their minds move.
\nThey each have the same understanding.
\nHowever, when their mouths open
\nAll are wrong<\/em>.\u2019<\/p>\n

Each monk focused on movement as if it was the dominant characteristic of their query. Even the Mind-is-moving monk was wrong, because he played their movement \u2018game\u2019. He was correct, right up and until the point he spoke. Then, he too, was immediately wrong.<\/p>\n

Once subjectivity is spoken, it nullifies the speaker. Which, is why I stopped teaching movement long ago. We do<\/i> have a consensus. There is<\/i> an objective \u2018first thing\u2019. However, if shared, it becomes invalid. That thing is Adaptation.<\/p>\n

Therefore, any discussion of a commonality post-thought is folly, because thought is<\/i> the commonality. Hence, our only pure, objective expression of the divine, individual, golf swing thought-to-action is silent, subjective adaptation to a common set-up philosophy.<\/p>\n

Open your stance, and play golf.<\/p>\n
