First, I showed you that you are athletic. Second, I’ll show you that you’re a genius. Freeing you from instruction is my only goal here. After all, instruction has no specific intention for you. They have an agenda with you.
Genius follows intention. Assuming you have an intention with your golf ball, equal to your ability, your brain will convert information into feedback. Feedback requires some deciphering, which is where I come in.
For instance, suppose I intend to figure out what year you were born just by studying your golf swing. I’ll have to take action to learn astrology, Chinese animal signs, and cycles. I will also have to observe swings, grips, set-ups, and ask questions. Finally, if I can visually guess age within twelve years, I begin looking for triggers. I’ll put pieces of information together until they connect from end to end. Then, I speak.
Do you think you are a genius? I know you are. But, what genius means may be different for you than for me. I agree that possessing information is ordinary. Everyone has information. So, allow me to prove my claim.
Philosophy makes information incidental, because we collect information while pursuing specific intent. “Pursuit” is religious rigor, or action. Genius, therefore, must emerge from something preceding knowledge, action, or philosophy. If action precedes information, and philosophy precedes action, then genius may be focused mastery of intention.
In any case, once your intention is set, our process begins. Right off the bat, most are amazed at my ability to read their thoughts from swing to adaptive swing. But, I know people think about similar intention – similarly. I also know the adaptive process for every intention. My student’s intention to adapt is assumed. Consequently, my mind-reading ability is more about my intention to connect you to your process.
For example, our Open Stance philosophy requires certain swing changes to enable solid contact. I guide you to keep your set-up orientation exactly the same as we focus on contact. Once your set-up is sure, we establish contact as the secondary focus of our session. Hence, by emphasizing set-up, you are free to interpret information as cues rather than consequences.
Pressure to immediately meet your targeted intent melts away. I inform you that your process allows your intention to remain without attention. I reinforce your brain’s perfect, adaptive wiring, with my aforementioned mind-reading. Once I show you your own genius, you will settle into a consequence-free, but focused, self-teaching dynamic.
You have never been taught this way. NO ONE teaches this way. Solo io. Solo qui.
Open your stance, and play golf.
