Which takes us to the martial-arts concept of eliminating volition. That is when the brain conceives and the desired result occurs without any conscious awareness of the use of the decisions, tools and techniques that are incorporated in achieving that result. One doesn't will it to happen, one thinks it and it just happens. When what you hear inside your head just comes out of the horn with no conscious process. This comes with mastery. Only a few gain it.

Sorry but I have a Zen infection.
