Thinking is a withdrawal from life's immediacy.
An immediate mind embraces and engages – it does not think.
The thoughtful distance is necessitated by a lack of root.
A root allows you to channel life through you and stay immediate – connected.
It is absolutely without violence and without effort – without spirit even.
It's the place you spring from and go back to.
A place of utter contentment.

Hello,
I started tai chi about a year ago.
I was wondering how one might apply the "non-thinking" idea to formal study - I'm currently writing a thesis for a master's degree. How to do it in a "non-thinking" way?
Otherwise I wanted to thank you for this extraordinary blog.
Jean
