One German thinker, Herrigel, was learning
archery in Japan with a great master. For three
years he worked hard and failed, because to
understand the eastern mind is most difficult for
the western mind because they function on
totally different levels. The western mind is
logical, the eastern mind is alogical…may not be
illogical, but alogical.

Herrigel learned the whole art of archery. His
targets became a hundred percent correct, but
the master was not satisfied and he would say,
“You are still not in the right posture...”
