Very helpful comments by Kenny, who's always insightful in a creative way - being purposeful about what you're doing - OK, now I'm practicing (and evaluating my performance and course correcting), vs. OK, now I'm playing (and not evaluating, just playing). A couple of things that come to mind in addition. One is that I don't think practicing has to necessarily be about the mechanical stuff. I think for someone as naturally talented as Kenny, he can play what he hears as long as he can execute it. For most people, the "playing what you hear" doesn't come as easily and you have to practice it. And you can't get better at it unless there is trial and error and evaluation, just like with the mecchanical stuff. The other thing is I'd add is that while focusing on the things you *can't* do is the best use of practice time, actually *doing* it is another thing. The fact is that it's more fun to do the things that you can already do, and it's hard to stay away from that. Maybe you can reward yourself for the focused practicing by making that part of your practicing a shorter amount of time. And then just play for the rest of the time. Motivation is often the gating factor, and sometimes we have to "self-engineer" ourselves to keep us motivated and on the right path.

1:10 - "So when I am training, I am quantifying do I have enough motor skill to be able to forget the subject, and when I go into playing, play from the expanded consciousness and it'll be there". 2:06 - "If your practicing is inspiring, you should be suspicious - you're probably not getting anything done." Pure gold! 🌟

What I find most odd about 3P is mixing business success with spiritual awakening. They are unrelated.
@NickBottini Жыл бұрын
Hi Testa - thank you for commenting. What do you mean by 'mixing business success with spiritual awakening'?
@sanekabc Жыл бұрын
@@NickBottini Most would agree that 3P is an avenue to spiritual awakening. But as many who are involved in 3P also are consultants to businesses, there is a subtle message that if you get more spiritual you will experience greater business success, ie, more money. Why conflate the two or give this message? It seems like a contradiction. A spiritual person tends to no longer be concerned with outer wealth, as they have ample inner wealth. Do you see what I mean? (Not to mention, and I would wager to say, that most people who have monetary wealth are not particularly spiritual)

@NickBottini Жыл бұрын
@@sanekabc you can't mix things that aren't separate. Because there is no 'outer world'. Or a separation between formless and form. If it's truly all one, then performance and business ARE created in the inner world. And so shouldn't be left out of spirituality.

Her point about wanting it yourself is so true, I didn't grow up in a musical family and I had quite severe depression when I was younger so I didn't have the motivation to do anything really until a few years ago at 18 when my life circumstances got much better and I actually wanted to be alive. And I have such a love and passion for music, whereas I have a friend who did grew up in a musical family and she's even doing her uni course in classical music and specifically piano, but she doesn't like it. She wants to be a chef but feels so much pressure from her family whereas I never had that, my primary and secondary school didn't offer instrument lessons apart from the recorder and the french horn

This stuff can be explained scientifically. When he says to trust the universe, what that really means is to trust the subconscious. Playing music is not a conscious task. Our conscious mind can only process 7-10 bits of information per second. That is not enough to execute the fine motor movements required to play an instrument. The subconscious part of the brain works with 11 millions bits of information per second. Playing music is a subconscious task.

Yes - 'universe' / 'subconscious' these are just words - metaphors that come from different traditions. All words are merely pointers. As I'm sure you already know - there is no part of the brain that is 'the unconscious' it's a concept. And also - what's being pointed to here is not brain, but the mind. Thank you for the comment.

@@ubershredder1989 I've just found in practice that it's nearly always the metaphors and insights you get from exploring the direct experience of life that makes the biggest difference in a person's 'performance', on or off stage.
