Why Self Awareness is the problem
Not thinking about something is often a pre-requisite for being able to do it.
This is especially true in the domains of passion, love and art.
Where elite performance is concerned, you need a form of awareness which is non-verbal and undivided.
“Man thinks, God laughs” — Hebrew proverb
Linear, thinking, strategizing forms of awareness deprive a person of access to immersion and rhythm, which are needed in complex domains. Thought seems to commit a person too narrowly, too forcibly, too earnestly with too much constriction of muscles and attention into one configuration of the most fleeting utility.
Whether it be dance, football or seduction, thought consecrates a person to being fooled by the surface mechanics of deeper, murkier entities. Entities which require thought to stop if they are to be sensed and apprehended.
Reality meets a person at his ability to flow with it.
