Embodied knowledge

Yesterday I was going to switch my cellphone on, which I have done a thousand times, with the specific pin code. I normally never think about which buttons it is that I press my pin code, the hand, so used to the combination, just moves in the specific pattern.

However, this time I started to think about the numbers instead of just doing it, and I could simply not remember the numbers! And just because I started to think about it my hand went confused and could not remember the movement.

As soon as thoughts came between the intention and the hand, motion was corrupted.

This little incident, however small, highlighted a lot of truth about Kung Fu...
