I mean isnt it contridictory that i had 2 first register my name before i could add this comment. Haha. Oh yes... Who gets to decide when to use linear thinking and when not to? Must it not be earned? Otherwise there will be no order. Its amazing how ironic and messed up ur blog is on linear thinking.

It's one step after the other. And when u forget a step, u have to go to the beginning (or some steps before) to try to recall. not useful in combat, but useful as a memory aid, as a way to learn tai ji. so we still can't throw away linear thinking, but just have to learn when not to use it. :) creative... a thoroughly interesting aspect on how intuition is being used! zenmingsword.. i tried leaving comments at your site but it kept telling me to log on first to comment, which stumped me. anyway, i’ll leave the comment here and hope u get it. i’m surprised (and honoured!) that my post actually inspired 3 articles at your site! just thought i point out that going through the tai ji form is a linear exercise.

During every lesson I will use different kind of exercises to stimulate and improve the children's intuition. You might find yourself in situations where urgent decision has to be made and you can't rely on logical thinking. Intuition comes in handy at this point.
