Perfect statement.
That Mind's Eye is some incredible stuff.
The more you work with it, the more the " inexplainable" and " intangible " patterns start to be recognized and emerge,..things you can't always put into words.....whether it relates to power moves, fighters, break positions and when they are significant and indicative of running style, form cycles, not running to previous fractions,etc.,
You might not see it perfectly or clearly, but you start to make out images thru the fog, hopefully and eventually, the fog starts to dissapate.
At times, during practice, I find myself "feeling" or seeing things that cannot all be verbalized.
At times, you hear a voice , just barely a hint of some voice, a whisper.
Also, knowing and learning instantly when the race does not speak to you, yet. Move on. Not a pattern you can handle....,...yet.
Hopefully , with practice and ingrained pattern recognition, it will get louder.
If you mastered addition and subtraction, those are the first steps...so when someone throws a calculus problem or trigonometry problem in among the regular problems, simply skip over those.....that's possibly for the future, if it ever comes.
Things like when THE HAT goes over a race, and predicts that the 1st call will be faster, although their is no CERTAIN empirical evidence in print of the Past Performance that ANY horse in ANY of the races ran can go that fast......like giving an answer or pre-opinion to a math problem when the problem has not even been fully fleshed out or asked yet.
It even works with 220 yard, 350 yards, 440 yards....that Minds Eye application is powerful stuff, for at these distances, all you HAVE is the 1st fraction.
The discipline to stick to the patterns you are good at and /or recognize and quickly skip the rest is one hurdle for me.
Quieting that mind , taking time out to do so, before opening the form, with the suggested tools, is another one.
Might have to do a " simon says " on myself....."simon says listen to that cd, even for hours, until some amount of quieting is attained"....do it just for the exercise, like a habit, whether preparing to engage the PP or not.
Interesting how this evolves in teaching , learning and understanding in the coming future.
