TIME OF THE TENNIS YEAR - WIMBLEDON FINALS
__________________________________________
The first point to make, the first discussion we
have with regard to "how to play tennis" is
about focus, a fluid focus.... a kind of
meditation in action - HOW TO STAY IN THE NOW.
We've just begun to discuss all the different
impediments, all the different distractions
that can enter your mind and screw up your
reaction time.
There are many types of distraction,
several kinds of impediment that can mess
with your fluid focus... which is most fluid
only when it is a state of mind that is empty
of content - keep your eye on the ball,
that is the game, this is the test
of mental acuity - can you do it or not.
What delights me about writing about tennis
is that what I have to teach is EXACTLY
what I must teach in THE SCHOOL FOR MYSTICS *
how to empty the mind of content, how to focus
in such a way as become one with the earth,
one with the Universe, one with your own nature and
spirit, soul.
Yoga means "Union"... and the aim is to be so
in the present that a kind of annihilation takes place within you - in fact, the less of you there is, the more
the universe, Spirit, or God there is within.
Regarding tennis, the state of union is between
you and the ball, as the beautiful airy world which
is the court and its lines, as these provide
the parameters of the dance.
