Mushin - “Mind Without Mind” by Miyamoto Musashi

No-Mind concept is a philosophy that originated in Japan and was developed by the renowned samurai warrior and swordsman, Miyamoto Musashi. Musashi was known for his legendary martial arts skills, and his philosophy of No-Mind was a critical component of his success.
The concept of No-Mind, also known as Mushin in Japanese, is often misunderstood. It is not about emptying your mind or becoming thoughtless. Instead, it is a state of mind where your thoughts and actions flow freely and effortlessly without any mental resistance. It is a state of pure awareness, where the mind is free from distractions and the ego does not interfere with the task at hand.
In this state of No-Mind, one can achieve a state of focus and clarity that allows them to react quickly and effectively to any situation. For a samurai, this could mean the difference between life and death in battle. But No-Mind is not just limited to martial arts. It can be applied to any activity, whether it be sports, business, art, or even daily tasks.

I finally figured out how to be in 'mushin' state a few weeks ago, and this video did a decent job explaining it. I would describe it as: quitting all ANTICIPATION of pleasure, pain, or stress. Anticipation drives up dopamine too early.

can you please be kind enough to share it with me how you did it

​ @mugen508 Hi friend. This is the closest video I made: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpa6aJ2do8trd7s I believe the hardest things to stop anticipating are sex / lust, and food. I do fasting to break my addiction to food, and when I fast for two days, I try not to anticipate the food I'll eat when I'm done fasting. I also stopped jerking off, porn, and fantasizing about sex. I only enjoy it when I am with my wife, and I don't think about it the days or minutes before. Am I perfect in doing this, no, but I know it breaks my "no mind" if I do it. Good luck to you. Clear those thoughts, desires, and anticipating the future.

The description in the video is about Zen Buddhism. Zen Buddhism was founded about 2000 years before Musashi. The one who discovered that Dhyana (aka Zen) can be practised while moving was the 28th Buddhist patriarch Boddhidarma some 500 years BC. Zenmaster Takuan Soho taught swordmaster Yagui Munenori in the 16th century about what happens when one's thoughts are put on anything at all (i.e. one has earthly thoughts). This is written in the book The Unfettered Mind. Musashi lived when the Munenori and Soho lived, so he might well have learned about Munen Muso, without earthly thoughts.

Потерянный средь мрака Жестоких прошлых дней, Атака и атака, И тысячи смертей. Порталы и интриги, Идёт борьба за власть, Страдания пишут книги, Любовь теряет страсть. Лишь солнце вновь восходит Всем поровну светясь, По жизни Бог нас водит Над этим всем смеясь. Мы в чем то видим цену, В чем ценности и нет. Отраву льём под стену Погас чтоб чей то свет. А завтра испытания Нас спросят, и сполна, За то что обещания Мы рушили всегда. Мне звезды в небосводе Понять успели мысль, Идти к своей свободе И в этом видеть смысл.
