The Mastery Formula
By Scott Bolan
Many years before I read the Hagakure, I was contemplating the phenomenon of How People Perceive things, and how they operate using that information.
Not the “information” itself, but their PERCEPTION of that information.
See the difference?
It struck me that I could actually see something AS IT IS, rather than clouded by my own perception.
At the time, I didn’t know about Mushin (mind/no mind)
I had intuitively discovered Mushin before I knew what it was called.
Can you imagine how empowering it was when I did discover the Hagakure, Mushin, Budo, and all of the Samurai Master Mind Secrets?
Amazing!
Anyways, back in that moment of contemplation years ago, it was easy to see mathematically that if a person were to get their DESIRED RESULTS much quicker, they would MULTIPLY.
Let’s start with Four for an easy example.
Let’s say your goal is 25 dollars an hour.
Learn how to get it in 15 minutes, and you’re now at 100 dollars an hour.
And of course you can increase that exponentially for any outcome you want.
– Increasing Your Fighting Abilities
– Getting Super-Fit, Super-Quick
– Kicking Ass in Any Endeavor
Simple enough, right?
Here’s the thing: as simple as it seems, what people don’t see is the hidden secret that allows you to actually DO that.
Knowing something is different than actually Doing it.
The hidden secret is what I call “Momental Mastery”
Life is made of MOMENTS. A second, a minute, an hour, a day, a week, a year, etc, all are made by moments.
Master the Very Moment, and you master life itself.
Then (and only then) can you MULTIPLY by four (or more)
Not by effort, but by harmonizing your energy, intention and action into a single focus, moment by moment.
Mastering the moment is CRUCIAL to your success in any endeavor, and in life itself.
Now, let’s go back to what I said earlier about the difference between seeing something AS IT IS versus seeing it “How It Was Perceived” which is subject to all kinds of errors and illusions.
With MUSHIN (mind/no mind) you are Free to See “IT” without the hindrance of a clouded PERCEPTION of “IT”.
This is what I call “Void Thinking”
ALL Potentiality and Answers are within “the Void” of the Subconscious/Superconscious Mind.
“The void is that which stands right in the middle of ‘this’ and ‘that’. The void is all-inclusive, having no opposite – there is nothing which it excludes or opposses. It is living void, because all forms come out of it and whosoever realizes the void is filled with life and power and the love of all things.” – Bruce Lee
Now, when you combine Void Thinking with Momental Mastery you have literal MAGIC to do almost anything you want!
Isn’t that cool?
Absolutely!
“There is surely nothing other than the single purpose of the present moment. A man’s whole life is a succession of moment after moment. If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue.
Live being true to the single purpose of the moment”
– Yamamoto Tsunetomo, The Hagakure
