In April, we’re going to be focusing on the principle of “unbiased thought”. Today’s reflection is about being able to recognize our biases; the things that color our thoughts, and the positions that shape our virtue-bodies.
In martial arts (as well as many other physical disciplines, I’m sure) there’s a concept called muscle memory. The more one moves one’s body in directions and patterns, the more one can repeat those directions and patterns without thinking… just like the biased mind.
The longer we soak in the dye of our biases, the deeper and deeper their color will become our own.
Dye wisely… or better yet, don’t dye at all.
