So Grant, in his specific case, who or what was conducting the control over
your body so that you couldn 't perform immediately what you desired !?
Why do you need to practice !? Something was holding you back and despite
the fact you knew actualy what you wanted it took time to call the one shot
you needed ! Again, what or who was holding you down, your body, your
mind, both or perhaps the memes which are controlling the whole of the
process !?
In a sense, the practice is a way of deluting the memes out of their
control,
practice made them weak and finally they give in....
